The continual reclassification of diagnostic schemes means confusion for everyone. The revision of criteria can cause more frothing at the mouth than a rabies outbreak. The following classification system takes a more holistic approach by amalgamating types of behaviour into clusters, so called Dwarf Prototypes. Familiarization is available to all by way of a short story and training film.
