0:14.0	Hello, everyone. I recently had to wear with all and the honor and the privilege to discuss the business and research and personal
0:25.0	arrangements that I've had with a couple of my closest compatriots, Dr. Robert O'Peal,
0:31.0	my former graduate advisor at McGill University, and my former student, Dr. Daniel M. Higgins,
0:39.0	who graduated from MIT and under my supervision from Harvard. We walked through our business,
0:46.3	professional and personal relationships as they've unfolded through many ups and downs.
0:51.8	Over the last 30 years, I wanted to bring them into the picture because I have worked with them so
0:59.8	closely. I've worked with them particularly on two projects that I wanted to also draw attention to

1:49.8	self-authoring.com. The other project that we developed on the commercial front, so that's
1:57.3	publicly accessible, is understandmyself.com. Understand myself provides a very thorough description of
2:05.8	the fundamental elements of human personality, the five major traits, extroversion, neuroticism,
2:12.2	agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness, differentiated into ten different aspects.
2:17.5	So it gives you a relatively simple shorthand for your personality, but also a differentiated view
2:24.4	of who you are. If you take that test, which doesn't take very long, about 20 minutes or so,
2:30.8	then you get a detailed description of your basic temperament. But also, if you have a partner
2:41.0	and your partner takes the test, then you can join the test together and get a separate
