What's also rampant is a tendency to type others according their personal attraction/repulsion, much like choosing a president/PM to lead your country by saying "I'd like to drink a beer with this guy." I just brought it up to de-emphasize VI in determining mental makeup, most especially the phrenological comparison of facial features over facial expressions. It shouldn't be thrown out entirely but it shouldn't take precedence over interviews, conversation, books/music/other works, known history, etc.
