The Mathematics of Narcissism

The common statistical thread between psychiatric diagnosis and grad school rankings.

By Jordan EllenbergPosted Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2011, at 6:32 AM ET

How is ranking graduate schools like measuring personality disorders?There will be no more narcissists or paranoids by 2013—at least not officially. The upcoming fifth revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 10 years in the making, will exclude "narcissistic and paranoid personality disorder" from its list of designated psychiatric diagnoses, along with "histrionic, dependent, and schizoid personality disorder." (Psychopaths, take heart—you're back in the book, after being written out of the DSM-IV.) The reshuffle hasn't been embraced by everyone: Clinicians of the traditional school worry that existing knowledge about best treatment for narcissistic patients will be lost to history along with the diagnosis itself. John Gunderson, a psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School and the chair of the personality disorders group for the previous DSM, wrote that the new guidelines in DSM-V needed decades of research to become "scientifically credible or clinically useful."

Another long-gestating project—the National Research Council's ranking of U.S. graduate programs in 59 subject areas—wrapped up in 2010 as well. The ranking came in five years overdue, and its results, like the new DSM, roused widespread dissatisfaction. Stephen Stigler, a professor of statistics at the University of Chicago, described the methodological problems as so severe that the project was "doomed from the start."

The particulars of the two scientific disputes are too gnarled to detail here. In a mathematical sense, though, the controversies are much alike. They both rest on the tension between two fundamentally different strategies of data analysis, clusteringand dimension reduction.

Suppose you've got a large collection of objects—say, graduate programs in mathematics, or psychiatric patients. For each object you have a large collection of measurements. For the graduate programs, you can assess the average time to degree or median publications per faculty member. For the patients, the measurements could be responses to diagnostic questionnaires or assessments by clinicians on various scales.

But when someone wants to know "what's wrong with my patient?" or "which graduate school should I go to?" a list of two dozen numbers isn't so helpful. You need a human-readable description of the object in question.

One way to do this is clustering—you look for divisions along which the objects of study cleave naturally into groups bearing common features. This is the DSM-IV approach to clinical diagnosis: Narcissists resemble other narcissists more than they resemble paranoids, or borderlines, or people without any personality disorder at all. Humans are born clusterers—we almost can't help doing it. Entities neither fish nor fowl discomfit us: Politicians are liberal or conservative, animals break up into phyla, pop songs are black metal or death metal or math rock or shoegaze or grime.

Then there's dimension reduction—here, we try to boil down the many measurements to a few numbers that really matter. This is what we do when we boil down all the aspects of a baseball player's performance to his batting average (or, nowadays, OPS and Wins Above Replacement). It's what the NRC was charged with doing—given all the data about graduate programs, put them in order from best to worst. And it's the way the DSM, in its latest edition, now proposes to reclassify personality disorders. Instead of partitioning patients into groups, they are now measured on six personality axes: negative emotionality, introversion, antagonism, disinhibition, compulsivity, and schizotypy. The patient previously known as "the narcissist" will now be a high scorer on four facets of "antagonism": callousness, manipulativeness, narcissism, and histrionism. In the new paradigm, there's no breakpoint where one personality disorder stops and another begins—there's such a thing as narcissism, but no such thing as a narcissist.

The tough part of dimension reduction is figuring out which few numbers to use. Getting to consensus on the six personality axes took years. And if that sounds hard, consider the charge given to the NRC, which had to capture the essential features of a graduate program with a single number. That's a tall order—imagine if the DSM group had to devise a linear scale to rank patients from sanest to most crazy!

In the end, the NRC group couldn't agree on a uniform ranking. Instead, they offered a range of possible metrics and an interactive tool where users can rank departments via various dimensions endorsed by the NRC or using their own homebrewed measures. This compromise, statistically principled though it may have been, satisfied nobody. After waiting 10 years for the rankings to come out, people wanted their department's standing to be more definitive than "between 6^th and 16^th, depending on which metric you choose." (And the complaints about the NRC rankings weren't purely methodological—many departments complained the dataset itself was hopelessly shot through with error.)

So, what's the right way to tame your data? It depends on the objects. The researchers driving the changes in DSM take the view, which has some empirical support, that peoplereally do vary continuously from normal to disordered. On that account, carving out various precincts of psychopathology is like divvying up people into "beanpoles," "fatties," and "pipsqueaks" instead of reporting their height and weight. Dimension reduction is the way to go.

The NRC, on the other hand, might have done better to toss the idea of rankings entirely, and just clustered the departments into natural groupings. The statistician Leland Wilkinson ran a quick and dirty clustering on the NRC data for math departments. He found that the departments broke up into five clusters: 10 elite departments, a big group of 59 upper-tier departments, 47 lower-tier departments, and two smaller clusters whose meaning, if any, isn't clear to me. This is much coarser information than a full ranking—but it has the advantage of not depending on politically contentious choices as to which criteria matter most.

In the end, dimension reduction and clustering are going to have to coexist. We rely on continuous metrics to describe baseball players, but at the same time we form mental clusters around prototypes like the plodding slugger and the crafty slap hitter. We cluster our music collections into genres and our politicians into parties, but it can be just as illustrative to map bands and senators in two dimensions using continuous coordinates. So narcissists, and the therapists who treat them, can breathe easy—the notion of the narcissist was alive before the diagnosis broke into the DSM in 1980, and it will persist after the diagnosis is gone.

The Bum Game.

The object of this game is to hold a steady job and find a real home. You start out as a bum on the street so you'll need to beg for change and find food anywhere you can.

Disclaimers:

This game simulates real life as a bum so if you're some wussy, politically correct cry-baby who hates loud music and likes to ban books, you probably shouldn't play it. However, unlike you, we're not in the business of telling people what to do or think, so if you want to play it, go right ahead.
The Bum Game was inspired by Front Door Enterprises' brilliant Bumvertising™ marketing campaign. If you've never heard of Bumvertising™, learning more about that form of advertising and bum society in general will give you an advantage in this game.

Daily Show Feature
Watch this humorous take on Bumvertising™ featuring one of our previous advertisers.

Bumvertising™ Featured on The Gruen Transfer
The popular Australian TV program, The Gruen Transfer, is a prime time show that focuses on the advertising industry. Their opening segment in last week's episode was a discussion addressing practical products to promote using Bumvertising campaigns. In response to the show, several well known Australian marketing agencies have contacted us about hiring bums in the land down under. We are primarily familiar with the patterns and preferences of American vagrants, so if you know anything about Aussie swagmen that might help us out, let us know!

Bumvertising™ is the use of sign-holding vagrants to advertise. Homeless men and women are able to provide a valuable and tangible service to a company, while receiving an additional revenue stream in combination with their normal donations from begging.

Pam proudly holds her sign for passing motorists. Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome leaves her in constant pain.

Adopt a Bum
Not only is Bumvertising a great way for companies to advertise, it's also a great way to help the needy. Make a donation to a bum through our web site and let us know what you’d like us to buy with it. Then we’ll go out and find a hard working bum to give your donation to. You’ll receive pictures of your bum and his personal story of gratitude when he receives your gifts.

Using Bumvertising is surely cheaper than trying to sponsor atexas holdem poker team or buying a billboard on the very same corner a bum will stand on. Working with us benefits both you and somebody who is truly in need, what could be better than that?

Homeless People Advertising - Bumvertising™

Bumvertising™, or the use of sign holding vagrants to advertise, is a development of Front Door Enterprise, a specialty marketing firm.

Benjamin Rogovy, president and chief economist of Front Door Enterprises, developed this system after realizing the enormous potential in wasted homeless labor. Bums use a business model that takes advantage of high volume traffic, with the expectation that, on average, a certain number of people will donate to them in the form of cash, clothing, or food. Some people, by principle, will never give a homeless man money. Some will give food to them whenever they can. But what is the use of holding up a bum sign to 99% of car traffic that will only read but never donate to these vagrants? With such great exposure, Mr. Rogovy imagined that there had to be some value that was not being utilized. Many other companies, such as Strategy Game Network have also pledged to endorse this model.

Through his own effort and the assistance of his marketing team, Mr. Rogovy developed signs and accumulated the resources that most bums would find attractive. Money, sandwiches, chips, apples, water, and other beverages have all been dispensed in order to compensate the homeless in the Seattle Bumvertising™ campaign.

It is also Mr. Rogovy's belief that bums will incur higher revenues from donations after showing the initiative to seek out semi-legitimate employment. Many of the vagabonds of our Bumvertising campaigns remark that they are receiving more comments and questions than ever. "People are actually reading my signs!", remarked Robert, one of Bumvertising's most loyal derelicts. "I thought they just handed me a dollar but never read what I was saying."

Currently, the highest concentration of Bumvertisements are being placed at the on and off ramps of I-5 at the 45th and 50th street exits. Please learn more about some of the Bumvertising campaign's most important assets at the gallery.

VIDEO: YouTube Clip of N-Word-Laced 'Alf' Outtakes Ignites Controversy - Live Feed

A classic '80s TV character is getting a second shot at fame -- or actually, infamy -- thanks to a blooper reel posted on YouTube that features the puppet star of Alf using the N-word repeatedly.

The clip of outtakes was posted online a year ago without much notice, but controversy was recently ignited when it went viral after being featured on the kitsch website BadTVBlog on Dec. 21.

The video includes excerpts from show rehearsals in which the alien character (a hand-puppet operated by series creator Paul Fusco) is seen parodying a then-recent 1989 episode of L.A. Law that included a character with Tourette's Syndrome uttering the N-word. The puppet can also be heard cursing and using sexual innuendo during scenes with a female co-star. The Tourette's segment begins at the 4:40 mark in the video below. Warning: graphic language.

Tucker Carlson - Dickipedia - A Wiki of Dicks

Tucker Carlson

Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson (born May 16, 1969) is a multi-named television pundit, a former bow-tie wearer, and a dick. His insufferability was inflicted on America – or at least that tiny fraction of America that watches MSNBC – for three hours every weekday on the eponymous showTucker, which aired at 4pm, 6pm and 2am ET, until it was canceled on March 10, 2008.

[hide]

[edit]

Journalism career

Carlson’s career as a journalist reached its brief peak in 1999 with his profile of Number One dick George W. Bush in the debut issue of dick Tina Brown’s Talk magazine. When Bush mentioned that he’d seen an interview in which dick Larry King asked the soon-to-be-executed Texas murderer Karla Faye Tucker what she would say to then-Governor Bush if she had the chance to meet with him, Carlson asked Bush what she answered. This provided a set-up for one of the greatest moments of dickishness in the history of mankind, duly reported by Carlson: “‘Please,’ Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, ‘don’t kill me.’” This is the only sentence ever written by Carlson that is worth reading.

[edit]

“Journalism” career

Carlson’s career as a “journalist” began in 2000 with his co-hosting of CNN’s The Spin Room, on which he represented the right against liberal Bill Press. The show was quickly cancelled, and Carlson began alternating with dick Robert Novak as the conservative co-host of Crossfire, one of the major dickfests in the annals of broadcasting.

Despite his having appeared on hundreds of Crossfire programs, the only episode anyone remembers is the one from October 15, 2004, when Daily Show host Jon Stewart berated Carlson and his liberal co-host/co-dick Paul Begala for their “partisan hackery” and begged them to “stop hurting America.” Carlson told Stewart, “I do think you’re more fun on your show,” and Stewart told Carlson, “You’re as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.” Less than three months later, Carlson learned that CNN would not be renewing his contract and he signed with MSNBC.

[edit]

Rape charge

Carlson wrote his autobiography, Politicians, Partisans and Parasites: My Adventures in Cable News, in 2003, at the ripe old age of 34. The book, which no one has ever seen a copy of, reportedly contains the revelation that Carlson was once accused of rape by a mentally disturbed woman he’d never met in Louisville, Kentucky, a city he’d never set dick in.

[edit]

Neckwear

On April 11, 2006, Carlson announced his decision to cease wearing bow ties, a dweeby affectation (shared by fellow pundit and dick George Will) for which he was appropriately ridiculed over the years. “I just decided I wanted to give my neck a break,” he explained, oblivious to how many viewers also wanted to give his neck a break.

[edit]

Terpsichorean exploits

In 2006, apparently believing that he wasn’t on TV enough, Carlson competed on the ABC reality series Dancing With the Stars. On September 13, 2006, his boldly exhibited preternatural inability to dance resulted in his being the first contestant to be voted off the show. Nonetheless, Carlson appears to take some perverse pride in the whole thing, as he continues to include this humiliating performance in his official MSNBC bio, where he remains a contributor/wiener.

When the Diagnosis Is ‘Dead Butt Syndrome’

By JEN A. MILLER

Jen Miller at the finish of the Ocean Drive 10 Miler in Wildwood, N.J.

My butt, unfortunately, is dead.

“Dead butt syndrome,” the sports medicine doctor said to me after making me go through a series of circus-act contortions that involved swiveling my hip in all directions. His voice was very serious, his tone stern. I wondered if I should start making funeral arrangements for my rear, maybe a New Orleans-style blowout parade?

Hold the tuba. My butt’s not really dead. It can’t be revived with defibrillator paddles, but it can be fixed.

The technical name of the condition I have is gluteus medius tendinosis — an inflammation of the tendons in the gluteus medius, one of three large muscles that make up the butt. It’s a very isolated and painful injury that knocked me out of marathon training in January with stabbing pains in my hip. It’s a symptom related to what running experts hammer at: the need for cross-training and strength training. I was running so much that I told myself I didn’t have time for the exercise machines or weights, so I have no one to blame but myself.

I’ve been running for five years, but I’d never heard of the problem. I ran it by a friend, a former track coach at the University of Pennsylvania, and he was baffled too. I haven’t seen any coverage, though the doctor said it’s fairly common with runners who train for half marathons and beyond. It took him five minutes to figure out the problem.

“A new thought in running medicine is that almost all lower extremity injuries, whether they involve your calf, your plantar fascia or your iliotibial band, are linked to the gluteus medius,” said Dr. Darrin Bright, a sports medicine physician with Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, and medical director of that city’s marathon. “In the last five to 10 years, we’ve just realized how much of an important role the gluteus medius plays in stabilizing the hips and the pelvis in running.”

If you think of the pelvis as a cup, the muscles that attach to it, including the three gluteal muscles and the lower abdominals, interact in an intricate choreography to keep the cup upright when you run or walk. If these muscles are strong, the cup stays in place with no pain. If one or more of those muscles is weak, the smaller muscles around the hip take on pressure they weren’t designed to bear.

The cup still stays up, but at a price. First come muscle tears and inflammation, followed by scar tissue in the muscle. If left untreated, this process becomes a cycle that keeps feeding into itself.

“For people who have persistent pain, it’s healing gone wrong,” Dr. Bright said. “That gluteus medius isn’t firing the way it’s supposed to. You’re getting an inhibition of the muscle fibers. It’s kind of dead.”

Some of us run through the pain, which is what I did. And many compensate by adjusting their strides in a way that impedes the gait and can lead to problems in the quads, hamstrings, Achilles tendons, heels, knees, calves, ankles, feet or toes.

“Whether they’re recreational weekend runners up to the elite marathoners, the majority of runners I see have weak gluteus medius and gluteus maximus muscles,” said Dr. David Webner, a sports medicine doctor at Crozer-Keystone Health System in Springfield, Pa.

For about 70 percent of his patients, physical therapy that stretches the muscles in the hip and leg and strengthens the gluteus muscles, along with a temporary reduction in the mileage and intensity of running, resolves the problem. Deep tissue massage, which sends more blood to the area to break up scar tissue, along with strength training may also help to break the cycle of inflammation and scarring.

More advanced approaches include ultrasound guided tenotomy, which uses ultrasound to identify the affected muscles and then “poke little holes in the area of the scar tissue,” Dr. Webner said, or platelet-rich plasma therapy, which involves injections of centrifuged blood products and is what Tiger Woods underwent after knee surgery last year.

Fortunately, I didn’t need to take it that far. I’m lucky — the pain has ebbed with physical therapy and changing one of my weekly runs to a cross-training workout.

“Those runners who do multiple types of exercising are less prone to have weakness than runners who do just running,” said Dr. Webner. “Triathletes who come into my office don’t have as much weakness as just solo runners.”

So I’m biking. I row. I sweat through elliptical workouts at the gym.

And I no longer have the feeling that a pin is stabbing my hip every time I drive. I can sit for more than a half hour without pain. And last month I ran the Amish Bird-in-Hand half marathon, and felt no more discomfort than you’d expect to endure running 13.1 miles through the hills of Pennsylvania Dutch country.

To keep my rear alive, I must be vigilant about continuing to strengthen my lower abdominal and gluteal muscles. Last week, I slacked off and the pain came creeping back.

Is it annoying to have to focus so much on these muscles to run? Absolutely. But if it’ll revive my butt, it’s worth every leg lift and crunch.

You know that's just a lie,
To justify your own vile sins,

So get this fact straight,
You're feelin' God's hate,
Santa's to blame for the dead soldier's fate
Santa Claus will take you
OH!

No one was injured in the 4 a.m. Saturday incident outside the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house on campus, according to a crime alert posted on the Tech police website.

Two students heard a 'chopping noise' coming from the back yard of the fraternity house, and when they went outside to investigate, they found a man chopping at a tree with a hatchet.

'They confronted the male, who appeared to be intoxicated,' the crime alert stated. 'The male swung the hatchet at one of the students and missed. The students were not injured.'

The suspect was last seen running through a fire lane toward Fowler Street. He was described as white, 18 to 20 years old, 5 feet, 8 inches tall and wearing a dark jacket, blue jeans and a red Santa hat."
