I don’t hold too much firm stock in personality descriptions that invoke political monikers, although they can be useful for a quick binary take. It’s similar to myers-briggs and stuff — personality sorters at best but it has a place. And that’s all I’m saying. DSM has its place, so long as it’s not overextended.

Do you find that dividing people’s personalities up by a binary “liberal” vs “conservative” with an “other” category somewhere else a useful method of sorting people?
