Pseudopsychoanalytics and you

Twice over the last couple of days I've heard radio jocks read lists about what various purchases and choices say about you.

Today was what your car says about you. My favorite was in regards to the hybrid car owners. "If you drive a hybrid, you're concerned with the environment and politics". If that's so, why have I seen hybrid drivers flick cigarette butts and trash out the window? It couldn't possibly be that people are more concerned with saving money than the frakking environment, could it?

Yesterday was about what your ringtone says about your personality. Apparently if you use a phone's default ringtone, you're loyal.

Seriously?!? Mine is the theme to Firefly, does that mean that while being well written and amusing, I'm also under-rated by those in charge and I will soon be canceled?

Not only does this seem entirely ridiculous and overly simplistic, but also seem to have been written by Dr. Obvious. Is it news that someone that drives a plain sedan is down to earth? Or a BMW owner likes to flash their money? I was stunned to hear that someone with a classical ringtone is sophisticated.

Do we really need any more proof that psychology is a pseudo-science? I think not, not that my opinion matters - I'm about to be canceled...
