The trouble with any such list is that in an effort to be inclusive (asking questions that anyone could answer, yes or no style) they become far less than exclusive in any predictive ability. Many of the words are loaded, others are excursions in relativity. Like, "well above average intelligence" - is that over the 50% mark, or over the 80% mark, and how determined, SAT scores, Stanford-Binet, GPA, life accomplishment? And in what field, is parsing Jane Austin more important, or less important than mechanical aptitude? If one scores high in one, but low in the other (as is common) which one gives the "well above average" ranking?
And who ever says "Yeah, I'm below average intelligence?"
What exactly, by a qualitative or quantitative measurement is "usual privacy." Or, "self destructive behavior" which can be viewed in many ways, all of which do not agree. And there are a lot of things that seem like "dangerous jobs or activities" from the outside, that are less so on the inside. The two most dangerous jobs in the US, according to OSHA are very different. One is coal mining. OK, we can all agree on that one. Anything that goes wrong in a coal mine is going to be very bad for those who are underground. Number two - working at a convenience store. Which does not sound near as dangerous as coal mining, but is almost as bad. I love to climb - technical climbing - and when I was younger I was quite good. My friends now tell me "I climb like an old lady" to which I reply, "I am." I'm 52 and not as good as I was at 27. But a lot of people think its dangerous, when in fact, its a lot safer than many other sports. Mountain biking and High School Football are both a lot more dangerous than technical climbing, a lot more.
jobs that require intense concentration and highly technical vocations are also jobs that tend to pay a lot more, so doesn't everyone want them?
deep seated hatred of authority -- Thats loaded, and I'm sure you know it. Look, lots of people in here are religious, I'm not. I'm not even going to take the cop out of "I"m Spiritual" which I also hold as being more or less bunk. Some of these people look to the preacher and pastor or their meditation master as some sort of 'authority.' Do I have a 'deep seated hated of authority' if I don't think these people have any authority at all in the first place? How could any sensient person have any respect for the authority of the President of the United States given the conduct in that office the last 16+ years? During Senate hearing on rock and roll lyrics (Having solved all other problems....) Frank Zappa asked Slade Gordon (R-WA) if he was doing this to get re-elected. Gordon threatened Zappa with a contempt of Congress charge to which Frank replied "Go ahead Senator, I already hold you in contempt." And by what reasonable standard was Frank supposed to hold that body in respect when its taking sworn statements from the lead singer of Twisted Sister? I do hold the SF Police in the highest respect however, even if I think our mayor is a publicity whore, and our Board of Supervisors is just the entertainment branch of the big landlords.
