JAILS: inmate distribution by personality type

[curiousel]

what personality types are the most common in jails?
what personality types seem to be related to particular crime such as theft, rape, murder...
any study?

Hey, I'm an ex-criminal. Don't be spreading hogwash.

Psychologically unhealthy types, duh.

Some criminals are so insane you can't really expect accurately type them.

OK, I'll bite. What crimes have you commited? Please confess.

No theories either. Tell us a story.

okay, mr. bad ass, what have you done

I actually had a story, and I edited it.

Needless to say, it wasn't badass. Most of my "arrests" were for comical situations. I'm hardly a criminal. And I never did any more than community service or spend some time in a regular jail. I've seen much worse from others.

in that case, have you been in a fight?

 

[KDude]

in that case, have you been in a fight?

Are you serious? Umm yeah.. I'm sure I've been in at least 30. And no, I didn't win them all.

Fight's aren't criminal though. I've been charged with assault a couple of times. That's criminal (and no, I'm not particularly proud of these).

Who agrees that curiousel's point is to rape the personality system, raise your hand

He does an awesome job in eliciting responses to inane questions =)

If his job is to prove that believers in personality theory will go to any lengths to ascribe phenomena to personality types, he's succeeded.
