: One question on the Time list--who typed the 20 leaders and revolutionaries? Did Time do this (I'd be quite surprised!) My take is that nothing is as accurate as one's typing oneself. If someone else did the typing, credible though it may be, how do we know that that type's type (i.e. lens) hasn't influenced the typing of another?
Which was just the point I was trying to make in "Premature typing." It's rare that someone's inner workings are displayed outwardly so clearly that one can make an accurate type "diagnosis" based on superficial descriptions. I wouldn't even try to type a celebrity or historical figure without reading at least a few chapters of a reputable biography.
