I'm not sure that RSI can be tested with an external test of that sort
because of the nature of the SI aspect which suggests improvement of
the self, which perhaps includes certain aspects that others don't
understand or will not value as much. I'm not saying it's impossible,
but rather that the direction of the SI aspect is going to have to be
something that you (the reader) selects of the batches that turn up.
Separating signal from noise and such. But some of that noise can be
useful in other ways. (junk DNA)
