    Wally's Primer on Common Helper Psychological Haplotypes and Personalities

    After many years of working with Drivers Helpers, I feel comfortable in sharing some observations. Patterns suggest we can group them into key groups. Of course, I'm not a psychologist, nor, do I play one on TV, however, having said that, here are my observations in no special order. The...

    Things that bug your preloader
