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..
