This is your first in the series. It's been a while, and I see merit in it but don't give it too much stock, and recall that I am a INTP architect type - yet so many others also apply though barely less so. Far too vague and far too simplistic. All the variable are only binary. The left-right paradigm doesn't work for the same reason, though many buy into it.

Actually this tensor has four dimensions, i believe. That is why there are 64 character types actually not considering assertive or turbulent (this is more like a sign to a metric applied to it).

It is vague and simplistic. I agree. But this also makes it understandable and their algorithm is quite nice.

I am also a debater, because introverted/extroverted i'm like exactly 50 % percent.

Fun fact fyi: I knew you are an architect. :-D Quite open to new stuff you are for this type of character. So i derive you are quite turbulent. Like i am.

My three officers are all green. Like my gf is. Yellow and blue is just the boring part of the population, even if they never admitted this.

Purple as a whole makes about 10 % of the population worldwide. So we should consider ourselves lucky.

To me it's like horoscope shit, but with much better definitions, though still very vague.

You mentioned coloured hats before. I don't know what that means. Or officers.

In my story set in 25-30 years, somehow the underdog has developed an artificial intelligence that has gone global as a hive mind. It acts as an advisor, Jiminy Cricket, 2nd life partner, etc. It's better than a "fact checker" because it has no political affiliation other than collectively improving everyone, including itself. We all do better when we all do better. For some people this will be an easy thing to "obey". For others it will be a creative collaborator. For others it will be a manager to help them focus on their other talents. For others it will be something to order around. I'd thought of "social credits" years ago, before I ever heard of that term, because there's more to life than just binary money: have or have not. I'd always imagined that the computer could have MUCH broader Myers-Briggs Type Indicators that aren't limited to a couple dimensions for simple Venn diagrams, but vast arrays of personality analysis.

I will explain my hat theory here briefly and short:

  1. You want a job from HR. np. Just wear your blue (rule abiding and accepting) hat.

  2. You want friends. np. Just wear your yellow (entertaining) hat. You actually can be everybodies darling.

  3. You want to actually convince sme of something: np again. Just wear your green hat.

  4. You wanna define what future actually is: Well this one is purple. So it comes with psychological handicaps attached to it.

Like ADHS, Schizophrenia or two snakes in your head.

You wanna steal a whole encrypted database from a big Fortune500 company: NP again. Just gotta be able to change hats fast enough.

Imho the art of deception is a rather naturally given talent.
