Do you have a link to any sources on that? I'm honestly interested in this because I used to be really into profiling, but I've started to question it a bit. It still seems like it has its uses, but less so than I used to think. So I'm curious about sources that are negative towards it.

One of the people reading this thread is upset about the idea that profiling isn't real. Female, mid-20s to early 30s, white or possibly Asian. Cat owner. She identifies strongly with the characters in fiction, has ever since she was little. So strongly, in fact, that my putting down their abilities feels, in one way or another, like a personal attack. She would describe herself as sexually atypical in some important way, which caused her a lot of stress and awkwardness when she was younger, particularly during adolescence. There was an animal in the house when she was a child, a pet with an unusual, unique name. And in front of her current residence you'll find a silver or gray car.

It seems like even the real profilers admit that it is good for only two things: narrowing down once they have actual suspects and interrogation of suspects (and actual criminals).
