Letters: To thine own self be true

TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE
I’m an introvert and a ham. “Introverts in an Extroverts’ World,” January, is a great article.
I once took a two-week training course with about two dozen other students I did not know. Myers-Briggs was part of the training, and everyone thought it must be a useless tool because I was shown to be an introvert (as I have been every time I take the Myers-Briggs test). Our instructor just smiled and said he wasn’t surprised at all because at lunch I always went off by myself with a book. I like people, but when lunch is either alone with a book or with a group of people I don’t know well, I go for the book. It’s all about what charges and discharges your battery. (And, yes, it’s a spectrum: Everyone is unique.)

IN GOOD COMPANY
I applaud Fox Rothschild for recognizing the importance of privacy and information security in law firms (“C-Sweet!” January), but in response to the author’s comment that “although several corporations have CPOs, it appears that [Mark G.] McCreary is the first at a law firm,” I’ll point out that for the past five years, I have served as chief information security officer and privacy officer at Baker Donelson, an Am Law 100 firm with offices across the Southeast.
In that role, I have primary responsibility for the firm’s compliance with various privacy regimes, such as HIPAA, and compliance with client-driven information security requirements, as well as overseeing the firm’s information security management program. Like Mr. McCreary, I come from within the ranks of the firm’s attorneys.
