    So A, B, and C just means first, second, and third quality for innate personality? I've never heard of this theory but I assumed it was type A, B, and C like As are anal and Bs are banal and Cs are canal or something. Yeah, equality of rank is good but capitalism depends on middle-managers as far as I can tell which is one of the problems with it.

    I was using A, B, and C to refer to different levels of constructive behavior.

    In this case, A people would be fairly healthy and would not be afraid to hire people who are more talented than they are because they place the welfare of the group over their own welfare.

    B people would never hire anyone who was talented enough to displace them or who might place the welfare of the group over loyalty to their boss.

    C people have no plan whatsoever. They are just putting in their time in exchange for some money.


    Now for the test: Which one of these describes our present President?

    Who hires the Bs? As who can't tell they're Bs? Ah never mind, this is a stupid joke

    A very good question, @ouronis.

    I’d say, people hire B’s when they don’t know what they are doing. Or even which game they are playing.

    So Cs hire Bs. Actually makes sense from my experience
