Acknowledgments

     Every advancing step, every new tool in psychology is built upon the efforts of those that went before. Without the concepts, born of and researched by pioneers in the field of personality assessment and learning, this undertaking would not have been possible. On the innovations of Jung, Bandera, Briggs, and Meyers, Keirsey, and Bates, as well as others, this work rests. Thanks also to the inspiration of the many dedicated professionals who have devoted their careers to helping childless couples realize their dream of becoming families.
