Are they merely reporting characteristics that they found tended to be grouped together, or are they adjusting the personal differences for the sake of coming up with tidy categories? Where does "being influential" part company with "being rich and famous" or "being ambitious"?

I think it's interesting, to be sure, but I don't like having to put myself or other people into any kind of box. Having said that, I definitely believe that I (along with my husband and both kids) fit most comfortably in the Creatives category. Yeah, I’m not sure what I think about this survey.
