Teachable Moment: "What Type Are You?"

Have you ever wondered what your personality would be, if it were a font? Perhaps you haven’t, but the international design firm, Pentagram has. And they've created a website, “What Type Are You?” to answer just that. Based on your answers, you are presented with the font that represents your personality. The website narrator (an amusing psychoanalyst) not only describes the details of the font but gives you the origin and history of it, presenting something you see everyday, in a completely new light.

Why We Like It:
Um, because it's fun! And, because indulging the right side of your brain everyday is a good thing (so says Dan Pink, and we agree!). Creative thinking is essential for problem solving and innovation and a simple exercise such as this could get you thinking just differently enough to spark your greatest idea.
