Scott Adams published a post titled Rounders vs Accumulators. It is one of those oversimplifications of humans that makes life so much easier to handle for some of us.

I did find the simplification striking though. I am definitively a rounder. The main problem I have with my rounding life style is that I can’t handle a level two problem escalating with time. In my binary book any problem will stay a zero until it is a ten.

As Scott says; the rounder normally lives a happier life. I think most people getting stress related symptoms are accumulators. We are faced with level one and two problems every day. By accumulating them the critical problem level will be passed because of lots of small things.

I would like to know if these characteristics are inherited or if they they are brought upon us when we grow up. I’ll keep an eye on my children. If it is a social issue then maybe we can use this metaphor to convert accumulators that has hit the roof.
