Document Summary
Theories of personality: no one definition of personality. It doesn"t matter, what matters is that their ideas help us understand what"s going on around us: all of einstein"s predictions have been validated. One possibility is the presence of new source of energy that we haven"t yet determined, dark energy, it may not exist either. Each man is allowed to move and contact the elephant and describe what it"s like. One says it"s like a wall, another says it"s like a tree trunk, the other says it"s like a spear, rope, hose etc . The moral of the story is not that they are all wrong it"s that. 5 they are all correct in a way, each has derived something about the nature of the elephant. It says there are only a small number of distinct personalities: each one of us have one of these, when we say she"s really outgoing and you know the type when we talk about type.
