One of the big problems with bucketing is that personality is almost certainly continuous and probably gaussian as opposed to bimodal.
- cLeEOGPw 10y agoOne of the useful things with bucketing is that stuff almost always tries to optimize itself and naturally cluster at certain areas more even though there are some continuity. That means in nature, where is some normal distribution, there is often several normal distributions that overlay each other making it look like one continuous function with a noise rather than several continuous functions with different parameters. These studies are trying to uncover just that.
