Distance Measures

Everyone seems to have had the compulsion to take this Personality Disorder Test and publish it in their blogs. Got me thinking as to how similar/different we all were and whether i could quantify it. Soooooo, What I did was, made a simple vector space model with the Personality Disorder Test Result as the representative vector and the scores as the coefficients. Then I did a simple distance measure and voila......

The numbers represent an angle between 0-90 degrees. For example the angle between Me and Ed is 25.01. And the angle between Loki & Reg is 17.87. That could be interpreted as Loki & Reg have more screwedupness in common than Me and Ed, see.

oh, dunno if this is a done blogger thing. Will take off if instructed to do so. Thimal old chap where's your vector?
