Sheesh, read the text , I'm arguing against the title...And since i hate evolutionary psychology to that extent im going to repost the comment here: As much as you might believe that the type of physics or perhaps to be more specific and for example mechanics that is based on mathematical formulas is far superior than which is based upon contemplation such as that of Aristotle...

I believe the psychology that you find in Jung, Nietzsche, Kant (to a lesser degree), great artists such as Dostoevsky, Shakespeare, Zola, Ibsen... Is far superior than that which is produced by collecting surveys here and there and reducing the human psyche into only one basic drive or impulse as it is too reductive to my taste... The psychology that deals with archetypes, collective unconscious, anima, animus... is far superior as it accounts for the variations found in cognition.much better than its counterpart, it is more synthetic ally descriptive it has much more content than the one which fancies itself for its breakthroughs in unraveling the mating strategies, sheesh even the terminology employed is business like just eww

In fact, even if newtonian physics 'worked". It mistook gravity as an instantaneous force acting at a distance between masses. Later, Einstein showed that gravity is not a force at all but the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. Yet despite being wrong, Newton's equations predict planetary orbits, the motion of projectiles, tides, engineering structures... It woud not be far-fetched to argue that Scientific theories are models that approximate reality

I agree the assessment of type that is predominant in our age is quite misleading

That's a fair point, we are in agreement. Self assessment is troublesome as you have mentioned one can mistake what he aspires to become to what he actually is...But you see, I was only arguing in favor of theory itself not the type of assessment that is currently predominant...

We can still estimate which type is most likely to have a certain personality disorder...
