Each question in e-asTTle has been assigned a level from the SOLO taxonomy. Many fast food joints depend on this principle. What does this tell us about the kind of person she is?

The process of classifying and giving names to plants and animals was extensively studied by Berlin [3] who defines general principles to ethnobiological categorization and nomenclature.
