I thought there were sixteen? And it's funny you should mention this, since I was thinking of it while reading the thread, but I was cowed by the "labels" comment. It's my guess that introverts are highly represented among players, and maybe people who, like me, enjoy figuring out the system and how to get around the difficulties. I haven't downloaded Macrotastics, since half the fun for me is the time management aspect of the game. I have a set of conditions, a desired end result, and I have to solve how to get there within the limitations. FUN!
That would be Raymond Cattell with his 16 Personality Factors. I don't give him much credence, he's one of those that try to apply techincal and logical reasoning for human actions and re-actions (silly Raymond). :D
Carl Jung was the one who came up with the extravert/introvert, and he also found that you don't have to be strictly one or the other, but can have a mixture of both. However, one is dominant.
Macrotastics are great for the maxed out sims. I send them off cleaning/gardening/etc, or set them to 'paint continously', have them power-idle, or have them train the kids/teens with the skillinator. Then I can concentrate on the ones that need more attention.

Re: control freaks:
I micro-manage my Sims a lot. I constantly pause the game to cue up actions or macro's, and the only time the game is running for a long time unpaused is at nights, and while a macro is running succesfully.
On the other hand I let free will running most of the time, since I don't care about Sims not directly under my control. I let my Sims make their own enemies and friends mostly, I just step in when they make mistakes.

I used to let them have free will, but when they burned their 10th lobster, played the computer-game until they were ready to pass out, and other assorted 'wackyness', while I concentrated on something else, I started turning it off.
Unfortunately, free will off/on is for every inhabitant of the lot you play. It would be nice to turn it on for some, but off for others, mainly the ones that are particularly stupid (skill-less). I know that this is not feasable, but, unlike pixel people, I can have wants/wishes and at the same time know they will not come to pass :D

i have to confess.. even though i'm studying art, i've always love science. but i can't do math haha. math and physics. and a higher lvl chemistry. i always fail at my tests haha.
most of my friends who are in the science stream hate this game, and most of my art stream friends love this game, so i thought, why not ask the rest of world :)

I have one science fanatic friend (she's going into phorensic science) adores the game. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
