Subject: RE: BS: Unconscious prejudices - Harvard study
I don't trust personality tests.

In all fairness I would not dismiss this as any kind of shit just for the sake of being hostile.

It reminds me of the sort of theorising primarily concerning culture, identity & ideology, at the foundation of the Degree
and unfinished post grad, I suffered 3 decades ago.

I've managed to purge it all from my mind for such a very long time
and mostly been coasting ever since on the well informed opinions
I evolved about everything that mattered in my 20s & early 30s...

I can't help automatically reacting with suspicion when confronted by this academic stuff,
but it niggles me now because I've all too successfully forgotten why...???

I know where my old text books and notes & essays are stored,
but they're badly mildewed by now and probably too much of a health risk
to revisit for the sake of nostalgia and reawakening pained memories..
