gollark: I doubt an actually-accurate one would happen to conveniently contain such round numbers.

gollark: As I said, how is this model better than the 187318961864816481274812789709 other ones?
gollark: I mean, we already have the dubiously good MBTI things, OCEAN/the "big five", those "dark triad" ones, etc.
