That seams reasonable enough.

I have two thoughts: a) this risks become a personality test, which are notoriously poor as a medical diagnosis tool, and b) I don’t think we (society) should be in a hurry to slap a medical diagnosis on everything.

I don't agree with slapping a diagnosis on anything either, but I think it could be a reasonable tool for people who are in the process of being diagnosed, or looking to better understand their character traits combined while going through the sometimes complicated process of being diagnosed.
Good points.

I always upvote thoughtful responses even if I generally disagree with the overall theme.

As is typically the case, I’m probably wrong and will end up, over time, holding opinions opposed to my present collection, so I try not to stifle divergent opinions.

It is never possible to predict changes in perception or possible realizations one might have, even from personal experience. I think it is always good to have a fully open discussion.
