"What is the DDLI?"
===================

        The Duniho and Duniho Life Pattern Indicator (DDLI) is a
computerized personality questionaire.  It asks you a series of multiple
choice questions and tabulates your answers to indicate which of sixteen
different psychological types (life patterns) you might be.  These types
correspond to the sixteen types measured by the Myers-Briggs Type
Indicator.  These types are based on four sets of preferences:

        Introversion vs. Extraversion
        iNtuition vs. Sensing
        Thinking vs. Feeling
        Perceiving vs. Judging

        The Dunihos in the DDLI's name are me, Fergus Duniho, and my
father, Terence Duniho.  I wrote the program, and my father and I wrote the
questions.  Many of the questions come from a couple other questionaires
that my father has written.  Using my knowledge of the structure of each
type, which I picked up from my father, I added questions that test for
other preferences (besides the four above) that each type has.  I provided
these as a check on the first set of questions.

        Here are some of the features of the DDLI:

* It randomizes the order of the questions.

* It randomizes the order of the answers to each question.

* It lets you indicate no preference for each question.

* It asks you to rank the strength of each preference.

* It lets you save your answers at any time.

* It lets you stop and resume at a later time.  By saving your answers, you
  can load your answers into the DDLI and resume where you left off.

* It lets you go back to any question and change your answer.

* It tabulates the answers to two sets of questions and compares the
  results.

"Latest Version"
================

"DDLI 3.40 -- QUESTIONS UPDATE & FEATURE UPDATE"
------------------------------------------------

* Using the data I have collected from people, I have changed (and
  hopefully improved) the questions.  I think the DDLI will be somewhat
  more reliable now.

* When you quit the DDLI with option 6, it will give you the opportunity to
  save your answers before you quit.

* Added to the text that the DDLI displays.

* The DDLI now writes extra text to the raw scores file, and it can read
  raw scores files with extra text at the beginning.

* The DDLI now has you indicate your type by selecting a number instead of
  by writing it in.

* The raw scores file format is modified to take up fewer lines, so
  that it will be easier to send across the Fidonet.

"DDLI 3.41 -- BUG FIX"
----------------------

* DDLI 3.40 wouldn't read in a scores file, and it didn't cooperate with
  some changes I made to ddli.qst.  I fixed these bugs.
