Yep. The colour theory stuff in there makes MBTI and horoscopes look detailed and well-documented in comparison

Yeah, let me guess; you're a greeny?

disclaimer: I don't know the colour theory

Hey I just want a simple way to understand myself, others, and my place in the world without having to do any personal introspection.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fuck, me too. I tried personal introspection and I do not recommend it.

For anyone curious, it's the "DISC assesment", partly developed by William Moulton Marston. The guy behind the polygraph and Wonder Woman.

It's based on his obsession with bondage and how he thought it was the solution to a "peaceful human society":

Dominance: active use of force to overcome resistance in the environment

Inducement: use of charm in order to deal with obstacles

Submission: warm and voluntary acceptance of the need to fulfill a request

Compliance: fearful adjustment to a superior force.

Yeah most reputable assessment developers have long moved away from shit like DiSC and MBTI, they were never grounded in science and just make the average person think ideas like personality are just pure snake oil when they are very complex nuanced topics.

If anyone wants to know about way more valid measures look up HEXACO and take the 60 or 100 item measure if you want to actually get an understanding of your own personality (note anything less than 60 items for a personality test is either not a general test or BS)
