		<description>There seems to be a missing option here - the inbox is full, you intend to deal with many of them soon, but you are quite relaxed about the whole business.</description>

		<description>Dr G, good point. I don&#039;t think these categories are at the point of being extremely useful yet - but hopefully with more theoretical refining they will be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for your typology of pooping...I think it&#039;s best not to encourage you :-)</description>

		<description>Jeremy,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#039;d say that my attitude is best described as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find it interesting that most of the psychologists I have met do not question their drive at generating categories within the context of our cognitive predispositions to do so. That is, our brains are hardwired to create categories, and once those categories are created, we often fall into the trap of believing they are somehow meaningful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#039;m confident I could generate a typology for poopers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I sort of cringe inside (and I also probably manifest it non-verbally) when I come across research that describes typologies absent what they mean within a social context.</description>

		<description>Dr G and Romeo - I guess you&#039;ve pointed out two of the major problems with typologies. First they may not be specific to the activity and second they don&#039;t account for the situation. And Conge, you&#039;re right, there are problems with self-report studies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It comes down to balancing whether this is a theoretically/practically useful distinction against these problems. I&#039;ll have to cop out here and say we need more research. You&#039;d have to be able to make accurate predictions with these categories for them to be useful.</description>

		<description>How I react to my email pretty much depends on the content.  I can fall into any of the three categories depending on time of day, my mood, or whether I&#039;m in a hurry.</description>

		<description>Hmmm.... Don&#039;t these general categories apply to just about everything?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parenting?&lt;br /&gt;Studying?&lt;br /&gt;Pooping?</description>
