4 Types of Person (a guide to stupidity)

This article, unfortunately, falls in the top right quadrant.

Ouch. I think you just hashed me into the top left quadrant.

Well, I think it's only fair to apply the article to itself ;-)

As for you, you are not the author of this article, so I presume there is no good reason to force-fit you into its simplistic model.

Reminds me of the Dunning-Kruger effect:
