However we knew that couldn&#8217;t be true so we refined our definition of &#8220;kind&#8221; and narrowed down the categories quite quickly,&#8221; said lead resaecrh sociologist Maynard Kremska.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However we haven&#8217;t been able to create a definitive list of categories,&#8221; added Kremska. &#8220;Our regression analysis shows there can be no less than four and no more than ten.  Our best guess is that the upper limit is probably caused by a combination of factors in the basic four.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The study does not reveal what kinds of people make up the categories.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have quantitative proofs of the categories but not scientifically rigorous definitions of what the categories actually are,&#8221; said Kremska when questioned. &#8220;But you can guess them.

You go into an office and get it done in a few minutes,&#8221; said Kremska. &#8220;If it comes up cranky, then you can let people know that and they&#8217;ll give you more slack.  Of course, it might also affect your insurance.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(NEW YORK ) &#8211; People who believe there are two kinds of people in this world have another thing coming.
