As I maintain that people are more alike than different I quite like the little mis-understandings....
Keep going with your study DK - I did psych as an undergrad but kept wandering off to my own lines of study - mostly brain function, neural nets, connectionism, behaviourism and stereotypic behaviour! If you'd have told me then that one day I'd chose to study human relations I'd have laughed my socks off - now I'm looking forward to a divergance from my more natural inclinations, I'm fascinated in how something so unobservable will be studied.
