AB  - My aim is to present a unified, though complex, set of ideas as to what personalities are and how we might go about studying them. Psychology has tried in the past to make itself 'scientific' just by changing its clothes. Instead of talking of thoughts and feelings, projects and ambitions, there has been talk of measures and numbers, and the doing of much statistical calculation. Adopting a scientific rhetoric has tempted psychologists of personality to gloss over the difficulties of actually getting down to the actual substance of truly scientific study. So when I am talking about new techniques and methods I am not going to be talking about new techniques of measurements or hitherto unconsidered variables, I am going to be talking about what constitutes the very heart of a scientific enterprise and that is our method of constructing concepts and conceptual systems for understanding and analysing what we are interested in - in this case personality.
