by everyone else? Not very likely is it? and see * below.

About as useful as the Meyers-Briggs family of tests and types.

I'm not prone to scientism, although I am a management scientist with enough cred to have been invited to the USA to working group meetings and having a Duke alumni badge given me by a Duke Professor.

Click below to follow a thread about all of this, which will point you to a section on Wikipedia about criticism.

IMO the entire thread & the linked articles are worth a read.

Especially the WEIRD bit in the criticism of psychology at Wikipedia. Western, Educated, Intellectual and etc, which is a good bit wider than LBGTIQ and their 'progressive' acolytes.

* Just by the way 'all classifications are arbitrary,' and if you think that's wrong, please explain how fizzy logic works. Because it's the basis for fuzzy, on which we now all rely.

:-)!

PS I do hope you can get your head around all this.
