I’m not so sure about that. Note that the section on winter strategies begins with:
This was selected for by things like the coming of normal winters in northern climates and ice ages that pushed people out of land. It is person vs nature, rather than person vs person.
This seems to suggest that whpearson did intend for the names to have meaning.
I tried to clarify a potential ambiguity and ended up making an ambiguous post myself—I should’ve been more careful :-)
When I read steven0461′s post I thought he was asking whpearson if the overall winteriness/summeriness of people literally changed from season to season as time passed, and I replied with that in mind. Although whpearson’s post does associate literal climates with the personality clusters he suggests, I didn’t think he was meaning to imply that people’s personalities undergo a seasonal winter-summer cycle, which is the point I meant to make.
But I think you and Airedale are right that whpearson meant to draw other literal connections between seasons and personality clusters—just not one about seasonal cycles—and I could’ve been clearer on that.
