Do you think that hierarchy models are good?
It seems to be a good way to gauge your progress, even though it may seem cold and callous to those outside of the community.
I got to thinking about this after reading the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition:
Edit: This is the wrongly summarized version by Michael Eraut, but I still like Eraut's model (maybe better than the original Dreyfus Model), so I left it here.
Of course, you can go up and down on the ladder. I think I'm at Advanced Beginner still, even though I've spent less time purposely practicing seduction (i.e., set days/times) and focusing on 1 woman, so I may have shifted back to Novice due to lack of practice with intent.
How would you rate yourself?
I know GC has a beginner's article that has 3 or 4 levels (I forget how many). Would you create a different hierarchy?
I can definitely fit people on the forums to this model above, and you see it evidenced in field reports, where more advanced guys may deviate from the "rules" and be more of an Expert (and you have less experienced guys like myself scratching our heads and asking "why this or that?") or may not deviate much but have a holistic view with lots of successes and is thus more of a Proficient.
