I don’t try to be smarter than people in history unless they do things for deceptive, emotional, or ideological reasons. We all make calculations given sparse information in real time and under stress, and we all get some of them wrong.

Differences in Intrinsic Value of Women and Men
The majority women are de facto intrinsically valuable unless behaviorally costly as individuals. the majority of men are only intrinsically valuable as a team unless behaviorally exceptional as individuals. this asymmetry explains genetic asymmetry of reproduction of the genders, and the dangers of excess men explains the development of marriage, and the disappearance of groups with excess women.

Personality “tests”
MBTI is the finger-paint version of the Big Five/Six(Minnesota Multiphasic), which the crayon version of evolutionary biology, which is the painterly version of bio-chemistry, which in itself is the calculus of demonstrated behavior. Don’t get excited about precision. For some people finger painting and crayons suit their skill level and needs.
