I think he's going more for a qualitative approximation of his coworkers. Though yeah. Meyers Briggs isn't scientific.

Hey Sean, quick follow up!

I considered you a role model in HS (still do!) and applied to Harvey Mudd because you seemed to have liked it so much (didn't get in).

Just curious, what is it like to work under the brilliant Arthur Benjamin?

Thanks!

There are surely very real arguments against the TPP, but most of the die hard opponents, like the celebrities in this AMA, are just bandwagoning over an issue they don't understand.

In my humble opinion, this is the political equivalent of Anti GMO bullshit.

Ahhh that's so awesome!

There was a brief period of time when I wanted to be a math major (physics now) and it was folks like Benjamin (and his writing, and his talks) that really made math magical, in his words.

It's great to know he's just a wonderful person on top of all that.
