psychology just isn't terribly predictive there may well be more known and unknown unknowns than in any other science since we can't reliably predict the weather accurately more than a week in advance and the weather is generated by systems and rules we almost completely understand then what makes anybody think that human behaviour is more predictable than that it's all based on psychometrics and psychometrics is guesswork and assumptions with a statistical veneer Organisations like NASA buy into it because psychometrics is better than nothing but don't let anybody fool you that it is a precise science anybody want to buy some snake oil?
