New items in the SPA mall

The Society for Personality Assessment has just added a few fun items to their mall that allow you to drop your flag anywhere and any time. Check out their new t-shirt and sticker. Not quite as witty as I remember past merchandise to be (e.g., "L > .99: Just the facts ma'am"), but essential gear for assessment nerds everywhere for sure.
