From your post, then, do you believe you can summarise and analyse your fellow mates accurately with the limited view you have of them?

No, my point is that this is not the objetive of the psychology science, it doesn't claim to accurately analyse human beings.

Psychology just looks for common high level patterns in human behaviour and then tries to match them on individuals for practical pourposes. As an science it is just applied statistics, a foundation as solid as that of other sciences like for instance, signal processing...

Obviously there are bad psychologists, actually I would agree that most of them know very little about maths, but most of them know they are copping with uncertainty and that their predictions are just that: predictions, so, they are no so bad after all.
