... Be sure you're using the terminology correctly. "UAI" is short for Uncertainty Avoidance (and we think the "I" is for "Inventory"). If the Amish have...
... Perhaps they have a strong need to believe that they agree with "good" people and "disagree" with bad people and reinterpret anything said to them -- by...
... Aw, you're still miffed about the way I "misinterpret" your ideas about the pursuit of truth, aren't you? I think you'll find I'm very receptive to people...
... Something else that occurred to me: Mark seems to be rather high on psychopathy (an understatement?), whereas I am rather low on psychopathy. Might...
... ams: Well, Mark, you just have to understand my terminology. Sometimes I use the word low to mean "low" and sometimes I use the word low to mean "high!"...
... Do you mean *psychoticism* (Trait P)? Psychopathy is trait criminality/fanatical-pseudosocial-zealousness, today known as Antisocial Personality Disorder...
... It's a possibility. But my personal experience says that two low-A individuals with half a brain between them will quickly realize that they have to...
... Yes, that was quite sloppy of me. Psychoticism is more correct than psychopathy. AndI no more meant by "high on psychopathy" to say that Mark is a...
OK Alypius, I just checked, and Hosftede reports that UAI has been (slightly) rising over recent decades, so this argument is moot. To go further, however, I...

I've been working on a game for a while, and I'd like to see if anyone has any comments on the anthropological aspects. The game simulates (more or less) the...
... ams: The Mongols' homeland in the Gobi desert was not suitable for farming. That's why the Chinese expansion stopped at the desert's edge. Except in bad...
In reading your message, it gradually dawned on me that we have completely different conceptions of technological and knowledge development - my own conception...
I've been wondering for a while about a puzzle presented by the Ashkenazim. They seem phenomenally, paranoiacally racist, yet at the same time they dominate...
... ams: Other than Paul Gottfried, how many Jewish paleocons can you name? The "old" conservatives are the real conservatives. The "new" conservatives are...
Okay, I see the sample now. I'm surprised at how very broad it is. Additional thoughts: Are there differences between the scores of secular Israeli Jews and...
Your message comes in a timely fashion, since I just three days ago picked up Hofstede's book from my college library. I now feel far more confident in my...
... Alright, I'll bite. How many "predominantly Jewish nations" are there in the world right now??? ... I'll try to do that. Is it _Culture's Consequences_? ...

I don't have a citation handy, but I remember reading that someone tried to match a variety of personality disorders with scores on the FFM, but decided it was...
I recently figured out that the two national dimensions identified by Hofstede as MAS and UAI actually tap into one sengle factor. Even though, at the IBM...
