[edit] Huh?

I thought compartmentalization was when someone uses different thought processes for different ideas. This is a common way to explain how some scientists can believe in a god without any evidence, but then expect evidence for everything else in life. --72.192.146.68 04:31, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Likewise, I thought it was to do with the way that somehow can split themselves into "two" people internally, such as in the movie Psycho, the way that the guy splits himself into the male and his dead mother. Maybe that's a different term, or maybe it's used in different contexts. — metaprimer (talk) 03:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Gender isn't easily determined? --72.200.217.171 22:19, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Compartmentalization is Mind Control

Would it not be easier to say that compartmentalization is a means for the mind to instinctively control itself through a chain-of-command, yes-sir mentality? I think it is no different than herd mentality. Over all - conspiracy theorists uses it a lot in their defining of how a large scale conspiracy works. Anyone? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.108.165.83 (talk) 17:12, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
