Classification...

OK
I have just a few comments and a list fact about the methods of classification for people and their personalities that become popular every few years. These methods include the Myers Briggs, the Briggs and Straton (ask somebody if you don't know about this one), the Smith and Wesson and the Peanut Butter and Jelly methods.

All of these methods require you to answer questions that give you very little room to think and do not allow for the constant and changing degrees of your life. These method tests require you to pick one of two narrowly directed statements like:
-Would you prefer to eat a live snake or find a spider in your bed... (what...)
-Do you consider yourself instrinsic or introspective... (huh...)
-Would like to discuss Shakespeare with the Predator or the "Ring" girl... (eeeee...)

You start to say,
"Wait, these statements are really weird and..."
but then the one asking the questions says
"Come on, come on, come on, ya got to choose one".
So you just pick one and go to the next.

At the end the one giving the test says,
"OK, your test results show you are a WXYZ or a NERD or a NATURALBORNKILLER."
They then look in the reference book and state,
"You would make a good long distance swimmer or a Yak herder."
Then, they read about your rating and say,
"Your life's ambition should be to work for world peace or get a really good tan."

Tested, catagorized, defined and labeled all in about 5 minutes... (mmmpfh)

OK, here is the list fact.
