Why do they lay the quadrants out like that? Bias against me, that's why! Humans generally value authoritarianism and collectivist confiscation. That's because humans are very like chimpanzees and are good at theft and violence. So, the builders of such diagrams start from the premise that being like a chimpanzee is normal. Of course my quadrant should be the top right, where good things happen, such as rising stock markets and other rising graphs. Being "below the line" is generally considered bad. All you people who are not in my quadrant, or are barely in it, should hang your heads in shame, like the chimpoids you are, for being like apes. As TJ says, we are now in a position to call each other excellent names. Also, laying it out in quadrants is typical of simple-minded psychologists, historians and the others involved in the test design, trying to give their ideas a patina of science and maths. The quadrants should be rotated 180 degrees around the horizontal axis to at least put the right people in the right place. Mqurice
