That thing about the tin and what it says on it

On Solitaire, and what it means.

What does playing solitaire say about us? And is how we play indicative of the kind of person we are?

For example:

• If someone plays three decks rather than one deck, does that mean they enjoy challenges?
• If they play Vegas-style, do they enjoy keeping scores?
• If they play a timed game, do they respond better to deadlines?
• If they shuffle through the deck quickly and miss things, do they hurry through life and make mistakes?
• If they play very short games, are they bad at finishing things?
• If they use undo, a lot, are they bad decision makers?
• And if they don’t play solitaire at all, is it really because they have more important things to do?
