STARCADEMY PSYCHOLOGICAL FILES - TOP SECRET


Memo to Principal, Starcademy:

As you are aware, Starcademy suffered a recent unfortunate loss of five students, one instructor and one Vice-Principal, due to an incident involving an alien spacecraft. Presumably they are now lost in the depths of space, and the likelihood of their return has become a matter of concern for the Stacademy staff (particularly since one, Miss TJ Davenport, had a very comfortable office, which the present writer suggests might well be turned over to the psychology department during her absence).

In any event, the psychology department has assembled all available psychological data on the personnel involved, which may serve as predictors of their survival, and eventual return.

1. Psychological Methods Used
The staff and students involved have all been assessed using a standard psychological test, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicators. (For more information on this test, see The Online Psyche Personality Type Test or The Personality Page.)

This test assesses the individual based on four contrasting psychological preferences:

a.  Extroversion vs. Introversion

b.  Sensing vs. iNtuitive

c.  Thinking vs. Feeling

d.  Judging vs. Perception

2. Analysis of Personnel Involved
a.  TJ Davenport, Vice Principal
b.  Seth Goddard, Instructor
c.   Harlan Band, student
d.  Rosie Ianni, student
e. Bova, student
f.   Radu 386, student
g.  Catalina, student

h.  Suzee (imaginary friend of student - Catalina, above, insisted on completing a separate test for this "student". Clearly this obsession shows some deep-seated, but not otherwise identified, mental disturbance, which may have serious consequences in their current situation.)

3.  Conclusions:

The test results show a widely disparate group of individuals. Each one represents a distinct personality type, with its own strengths and weaknesses. Prognosis for survival is guarded; if they can create a strong team unit, their different talents may be a strong positive factor. On the other hand, based on the observations of the psychology department of their interactions at the Starcademy, it is more likely that conflict among such personnel with such widely differing personalities will be a serious obstacle to overcoming whatever problems they are currently facing. Based on our findings, the probability of their survival and eventual return has been calculated by the Math Department to be less than 20%.

Now, about that office....

Yours very truly,

Heironymus Brackenwurst, Ph.D.

Head, Starcademy Department of Psychology
