That is useful obviously but won't work on everyone and makes parents deal with unnecessary guilt and shame when they are raising let's say a Donald.

To the liars out there don't think there is something wrong with you.

You have your purpose too - Google psychopathy or dark triad in the work place and know that Managers actually use/need you guys too, not just honest Abe.

Basically we still live with a stone age level of understanding of personality traits and their pros and cons.

But if everyone understands there is a diff between a banana tree, a redwood and a cactus. All having different needs and personalities, only then do we get a good looking botanical garden.

Your "purpose" isn't determined by your manager's use for you.

Passing judgement on lying does damage to everyone. It has a use. Therefore will be used.

Why is it bad to pass judgement on something that has a use?

Murder might also have a use, but I feel free to pass judgement on it.
