Hi, Jaen, thanks for the feedback. Whether they are independent or high entropy, its too soon to say, its a new framework I conceived and I am not a psychometrist, I would need to get to 500 or 1000 to see the recurrence of archetype clusters. I see your point however, some of the concepts may overlap, I am going to bring it down to 8 trait pairs / dimensions. Hogan has 7 dimensions seems. In your experience, how many archetypes exist in the human population? with 4 trait pairs, thats only 16, with 12, thats above 3000. Must be somewhere in between.
