Comment on How to deal with difficult people on software projects

This should come with a big warning that it applies to people's current moods rather than having them in a fixed personality.

There are extreme cases where someone is always an "Extreme Overestimator" but those are rare. People will often shift between all of this made up classifications depending on the circumstances, their goals, their past experiences, etc.

It seems to be a nice tool to raise awareness for these potential states of mind but I wouldn't use it as an objective assessment of other people.

For reasonable people who take it in the light-hearted manner that it was obviously intended, it doesn't need to come with warnings.
