I have to say, I don’t appreciate the casual conflation in Divergent Mind of real disabilities with “temperaments”, at least in the context of the workplace. I’m all for a wider, more general social acceptance of human difference, but the last thing people who require disability accommodation need is opening the door to having their concerns dismissed as mere “temperament” and so not legally covered by disability law. There’s no such thing as “temperament rights”.
