Try talking to these people.  That might help improve communication. ;)

It most certainly IS labeling, although I agree it's ostensible intent is not to 
establish levels or good/bad types.

True, but these differences cannot be quantified or categorized accurately in the 
manner that these tests imply.  Taking them for fun and comparison with friends is OK, 
but I see little value beyond that.

Again:  These tests are *not* anything new, and as I mentioned before, I've already 
taken these "brain-type" tests more than once (using the same system as on that site) 
and studied their findings.  b.t.w., most of these tests use another letter to 
indicate that the person fell exactly in the middle between the two types:  'Z', for 
instance.  My results both previous times were 'ZTZZ', which tells me, amazingly, that 
I'm a thinker, but little else.

Anywho, the whole thing is harmless enough so long as it's used soley by the person 
actually taking the test, or for comparison with friends or something.  I just have 
nightmarish Orwellian visions of people being assigned job categorises based on their 
brain types. :(
