First Session

Good morning Fellow Gyaanis… :-)

Welcome to the first edition of our WPME initiative. The opening session introduces [have that clearly in mind] us to the idea of ‘Personality types’.

We all know it too well by now that our personality is a manifestation of the interaction of our culture, family background, our surrounding environment with heredity.
