I think that dressing your opinion up in all the multi-syllabic words you can haul out does not change the fact that it is still just your opinion. I find color coding juvenile.
I think the Spiral Dynamics people are selling something. I am not clear as to why I should be more compelled by what they are selling than by what the people on The Secret are selling. Except perhaps because they use vernacular so esoteric it would offputting to most people. I assume they have chosen the language they have in an effort to impress. But if you are selling something, it would appear to me to be most effective to couch your message in terms easily accessible to anyone interested.
Oh, and this phrase jumped out at me, "Spiral Dynamics doesn’t track well with intelligence". Taken out of context, I found that ironical.
