      What strikes me the most with this document is that they regard Dario Nardis brain-map as evidence in the first place.

      They use the popular science "brain-lateralization" (here) as evidence while there is no evidence in the first place.

      Quoted from Wiki-article about brain-lateralization
      "Brain function lateralization is evident in the phenomena of right- or left-handedness[6] and of right or left ear preference,[7] but a person's preferred hand is not a clear indication of the location of brain function. Although 95% of right-handed people have left-hemisphere dominance for language, 18.8% of left-handed people have right-hemisphere dominance for language function. Additionally, 19.8% of the left-handed have bilateral language functions.[8] Even within various language functions (e.g., semantics, syntax, prosody), degree (and even hemisphere) of dominance may differ.[9]

      Additionally, although some functions are lateralized, these are only a tendency. The trend across many individuals may also vary significantly as to how any specific function is implemented. The areas of exploration of this causal or effectual difference of a particular brain function include its gross anatomy, dendritic structure, and neurotransmitter distribution. The structural and chemical variance of a particular brain function, between the two hemispheres of one brain or between the same hemisphere of two different brains, is still being studied. Short of having undergone a hemispherectomy (removal of a cerebral hemisphere), no one is a "left-brain only" or "right-brain only" person.[10]"

    • This is their scientific reference to the document, Dario Nardis 'Neuroscience of Personality' which is not empirical or validated science. Link here.

    • Yeah CT is basically layering Nardi's non-scientific work over thier own unproven work.
