This blog was very insightful, for which I am grateful to have stumbled upon. In fact, I think I may forward it to my advisor. As you seem to have articulated exactly how I feel about the Five Factor Model of personality (which Costa & McCrae, 1976 popularized; Openness, Extroversion, Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism). Just wanted to say thank you!

PS — you motivate me to want to be a better scientist, or at least a better undergrad. =)
