And anecdotal evidince has what value in science?
Well, you need not pay any attention to my report. My experience was
that when I gave a test to a dozen people, I found that a bit more
than half the results matched the categories into which I fit people
in other ways. Moreover, since I myself did the experiment and
followed the reasoning, I had an internal experience that I found
convincing to myself.

Reads like an astrology collumn in the newspaper.
Doesn't to me, unless of course, you pay attention to the names (like
Pices and Virgo). To me, Forer's text as given in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forer_effect
sounds much more like an astrology column.
