Finding other things to do is the most important thing if you want to stop drinking permanently. If you're still sitting at the computer next year you will start drinking again.

Fortunately, under the Obama plan the government won't be managing health care, that would be up to the insurance companies. They just have to follow a few new rules.
Insurance companies are now taking up to 20% of the money spent on health care. Most of that 20% goes to making the billing system needlessly complex. An insurance company shouldn't be sending any bills to the patient except the premium bill. Billing systems cost money. Medacaid doesn't allow anyone to bill the patient.
The only way to get the insurance companies to become more efficient is to bring in a public option to compete with them.
Health care costs having been going up 12% a year since the early 90's. It's hurting our competitiveness in the world economy. Even if you suppose that the companies in single payer systems are ultimately paying for the costs of a single payer system, American companies pay twice what companies in other countries pay for health care.
IBM now has 70% of it's work force overseas, some in places like Ireland that don't have very low wages. How much of this outsourcing is motivated by the extremely high health insurance costs in the states?
The one we have. In a capitalist system, workers should only obtain health care if it keeps them working. Capitalists have also found it useful to provide health insurance to the immediate family of the worker, as having a dying wife or children often makes a worker less productive.
But once the worker is no longer working, there is no more use to him getting any health care, so his health insurance is immediately withdrawn.
Any system where the worker is provided health care because he's suffering is rightly called a "socialist" system, as it doesn't benefit the capitalists.
I only got the NF score because I answered the questions like I thought I would have answered them if it had been given at my job. After reading your post I realized the rather broad and clumsy stereotypes it was based on, and easily got a field marshal classification. All I had to do was change my answers to no on the questions about thinking about history and man's future, and tone down the empathy for other people, but at the same time answer yes about being at the center of everyone's attention.
This test is designed to appeal to leadership type people like you. First off, you have one of the few personality types that doesn't assume that everyone is going to lie on the test. Secondly, it's idea of a leader is, I'd assume, someone like you, likes to be the center of attention, but doesn't party too much. Reads books but is not an "egghead" always worrying about the future of the human race, is sympathetic to other people but not emotional. Etc.
So you take the test, and since you get the good rating you think it's an accurate test. And since part of getting that score is that you don't look far underneath stuff, you have no idea everyone else except the people that get emotional over soap operas are going to lie on the test.
Gotcha! I wasn't getting the angle they were playing.
Hows this? Do I get the promotion?

Rational Portrait of the Fieldmarshal (ENTJ)
Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition it is marshaling or situational organizing role that reaches the highest development in the Fieldmarshal. As this kind of role is practiced some contingency organizing is necessary, so that the second suit of the Fieldmarshal's intellect is devising contingency plans. Structural and functional engineering, though practiced in some degree in the course of organizational operations, tend to be not nearly as well developed and are soon outstripped by the rapidly growing skills in organizing. But it must be said that any kind of strategic exercise tends to bring added strength to engineering as well as organizing skills.
Hardly more than two percent of the total population, Fieldmarshals are bound to lead others, and from an early age they can be observed taking command of groups. In some cases, they simply find themselves in charge of groups, and are mystified as to how this happened. But the reason is that they have a strong natural urge to give structure and direction wherever they are - to harness people in the field and to direct them to achieve distant goals. They resemble Supervisors in their tendency to establish plans for a task, enterprise, or organization, but Fieldmarshals search more for policy and goals than for regulations and procedures.

dealist Portrait of the Teacher (ENFJ)
Even more than the other Idealists, Teachers have a natural talent for leading students or trainees toward learning, or as Idealists like to think of it, they are capable of calling forth each learner's potentials. Teachers (around two percent of the population) are able - effortlessly, it seems, and almost endlessly-to dream up fascinating learning activities for their students to engage in. In some Teachers, this ability to fire the imagination can amount to a kind of genius which other types find hard to emulate. But perhaps their greatest strength lies in their belief in their students. Teachers look for the best in their students, and communicate clearly that each one has untold potential, and this confidence can inspire their students to grow and develop more than they ever thought possible.

Nope. All I know is his boss has gone down the list saying "Nope, don't want this personality type. Nope, not this one either", checking off the list before turning it into HR.
What you need to do is take the test, and then figure out how you want to game it. A lot of those personality types are obviously bad, like lone wolf or introverted and feeling. What you want to do then it tilt some of your answers just enough to fit into a similiar but better personality type.
Some people can get really fucked up with these tests. You could be in a good job, and then test extrovered on these tests and get pushed into some shitty sales job.
And a lot of these personality types are really codewords meaning something else. The introverted but feeling type is going to be translated to "passive-aggressive" by management, and those guys are going to be on the short list for layoffs.
