I've recently been talking online with Mary Douglas, the well known Oxford professor of Anthropolgy. She has developed a theory of culture that I thought would be worth sharing because it seems to offer a view of HDS in action across large cultures within society.

The following diagram shows her distribution of people into various cultural types. I have overlaid, in red, the corresponding HDS stream.

If you Google Mary douglas group grid

you'll fiind more info than I could write. I've found it interesting to look at her work through the lens of HDS. Conversely, it's intersting to look at HDS through her group grid lens.

Hi Kip,
This looks really interesting, have you checked out spiral dynamics? They have some interesting research that could fit with HD also.
Cheers
