I've always been skeptical about this sort of thing.<br /><br />Even if such styles existed, it would be difficult to determine who has what style. People are notoriously bad at knowing this sort of thing about themselves. I'm thinking about Eric Schwitzgebel's excellent work in Describing Inner Experience.
