Good points. As to typing being as accurate as the skill of the typer, it's true. Also critical are the honesty and self-knowledge of the typee. When the personality is in flux, under stress, etc., answers to e-gram questions might be masked by dysfunction. Conversely, perhaps the dysfunction exaggerates traits. This is what I am trying to determine for myself. If I knew, obviously I wouldn't be here. Conversely, a nice old cliche is, when you ask for advice, you usually know the answer. However the discussion is still interesting.

Amusing that you think you can type me (provided that you're actually serious and not being facetious) by a photo or two, taken under whatever situation. How do you know whether or not I am 'acting out' in my physical persona as well? Also, people dress/act/are molded according to profession. Therefore, a professional white collar person is more likely to show up in pics soberly dressed, short hair, etc., etc. A tattoo artist, now, would probably reflect his/her profession as well.
