Can't vote yet as I don't know for sure. I'm excited because I'll be getting my book on Saturday, so most of my time will be spent reading and measuring. I will be back on Monday to post the results. Can't wait can't wait can't wait!

I've had my measurements checked and told I'm a Warrior...do I need to recheck when I get my book??
It never hurts to verify the measurements, but if these are correct, Welcome to Warrior-ville. I have been feeling like this diet fits better than the pure AB diet did... Hopefully, you will feel the same when you start eating this way.
I have been going kind-of up and down for a while, so I'm waiting for a bit to be really exuberant...
Well, finally decided to cast my vote...yeah!! I'm a Warrior too! Joseph's a Teacher, so that's no surprise to me! (cause he is one anyway! )
Sure don't seem many of us? I've really got to wait for my book to arrive to read all about everything but have had a look at the food lists for us...some changes but not so many.
ladydi I have a sneaking suspicion that I am a non sec warrior. Will confirm it this weekend.

So far I have measured a Worrier---ahem...uh, Warrior, but when I read the characteristics, it's just not me. I'm not Choleric. I'm not nimble-minded. Actually, I am very much except sometimes when my brain completely shuts down, which is often. When I exert myself, I'm very nimble-minded, but it takes a lot out of me. I don't "pursue a mental challenge inexorably until it is mastered." I give up very easily when it comes to a mental challenge. So Biometrically and Biochemically, I'm a Warrior, but Psychologically, I'm not at all.
I don't have ox-like strength. I've always considered myself pretty weak, but then struggling with food allergies all my life might be the cause of that. Oooh, although there was that time in 8th grade when I beat the class jock at arm wrestling. Hm. I don't recover well from illness. If I don't take a couple extra days to recover from something, I relapse. Usually the day I begin to feel better, I jump up, run around and overdo myself because I feel so much better, but then it ends me up right back in bed sicker than I was to begin with. I wasn't a beautiful specimen in youth. Unless you call 30 youthful. I think I look better now than I ever have, thanks to the BTD. Also, I found my colors recently! I'm a Spring, not a Summer like I thought I was. Now I glow gold instead of being a washed-out, sallow "blue" wannabe with graying hair. Now my hair looks golden! Amazing what you can do with warm/cool colors.
Maybe some of this is my view of myself. Kinda like the ecto/endomorphic body type. I looked at it and said, "That's me, the endomorph," and my husband said, "No it's not; you're just like me. An ectomorph." My fingers wrap WAY around my wrists. But my trunk is thick. Not fat, just thick. And it doesn't have anything to do with having three babies. I've always been thick through the trunk and skinny through the limbs.
Maybe I am choleric, instead of a melancholy, and my cholericness was always squelched by my older, meaner choleric brother and my choleric mother. Maybe I do recover well from illness (which is why I bounce back with tons of energy) and I just need a few more immune-enhancing herbs to keep me from relapsing. My mom always said that IF I got sick as a child, it was something major, but I never ran a very high fever. I got 2 colds a year, when the seasons changed, but the colds were severe and lasted at least a month. I read in a parenting magazine last year that children nowadays get on average 6-9 colds a year. That's insane.
My motto is more like, "I'll do it my way," not "Time flies when you're having fun." I used to tell my mom, "You know, I don't mind you telling me what to do, but please don't tell me how to do it."
Okay, I'll stop thread-hogging. This diet is amazing to me and I'll do what I can to change and enhance what I'm doing. I love it, which is why I'm here all the time. It's my life now. Thanks, everybody, for taking part in such an important part of my life. Y'all are such good buddies. *sigh* *sniffff* I love you all. *sigh*

Ribbit, when I finally found that I was a Spring not a Summer as I had been told for about 20 years, the joy of wearing orange and chartreuse were palpable. Along with the BTD I started looking 10 years younger. I was mistaken for my brother or sister's child at a family funeral. Now, with the GTD I plan to continue this game of trop d'oeil or whatever you call it.Instead of being boring grey I am a kind of moggie mixed blond which is rather fun.(with a bit of chemical help of course). Life has always been a bit of an adventure for me despite a very conservative core, and I have had an equal number of highs and lows but always came out a survivor. My children speak of my ability to reinvent myself after every disaster. I think they have learned from my life how to avoid disasters simply by observation. So its not all bad. cheers, Jenny Warrior
Been measuring family members and so far I'm the only teacher. There are so far 3 A+ (unknown secretor status) Warriors but non are on this Forum. I'll see if I can get them motivated.
I went straight to the Advanced Calculator because all my meauserements were easily verified. Then I immediately went on the Warior diet, and I am elated with the results. I have lost some weight which is a welcome outcome already. since i gain in the winter. Now I don't have to wait for summer and all the weight losing activity. As I have said on another thread...start the diamonds and supers and don't look back. And they say old people can't change!! namaste ruthie
You seem to have created a new Genotype - Old Warrior. I like what Dr. D. says " if you are a Warrior GenoType, with modest effort you can get back into great shape and give yourself a second "silver age" of health and vitality." Wondering if you are already in that second "silver age".
So far I have measured a Worrier---ahem...uh, Warrior, but when I read the characteristics, it's just not me. *sigh*
Dr. D. said that you won't have all the attributes of the Geno type that you are, you could have attributes of others but he also said there can't be a split like Warrior-Explorer or something like that.

Ok... I'm a little freaked out b/c I'm an A blood type, but tested out as a Gatherer which is usually an O or B. Did I totally test wrong or is this possible? The books says that Gatherers are "typically" either O or B... so I'm just atypical?
jenny, where did you discover that you were a spring, not a summer?
Susie, there's a book called "Color Me Beautiful" that became popular in the '80s that tells you all about warm vs. cool colors and how to tell which you should wear based on your skin tone, whether it's got yellow undertones or if it's just white ("blue" undertones). Makes a big difference once you know what you're looking for and what colors to wear.

Can anyone reassure me here?
My understanding is that if you are A there are only four choices:
Warrior Teacher Explorer Nomad
If you are A+ and secretor you are either Warrior or Teacher. As I have been told time again, stick to the torso/leg, lower leg/upper leg and finger measurements.
For example, if your torso is longer than your legs, your lower legs longer than the upper ones and the index fingers are longer than than your ring fingers and you are A+ then you are a Warrior.
Keep us posted and good luck. (Took me a week to figure out what I was.)
A's will be either Teachers, Warriors or Explorers. Those are our only options. What are your measurements Tipitee? If you have the book, use the advanced tables in the back, if not post them and we can help you out.
Rh-, ISFP, Super Taster, Non-Secretor 52% SWAMI-XP'd Explorer.
So my intuition was right, I am a warrior. Not too much of a change from the A non sec diet, but I will miss the chicken and turkey. I am happy that I can eat anchovies and green olives ! and chocolate as super super yum yum always knew that 87% chocolate I was eating was good for me.

It seem's like the teachers and warriors voting on this board are head to head.
