Document Summary
Whatever makes for consistency in our behaviour. Whatever is responsible for individual differences in behaviour. Hypothetical construct: something society made up, something we invented to make sense of something. That has no physical whatsoever: personality doesn"t exist it"s a fictional idea it is an invested process to help us make sense of some set of phenomena in our existence. In relation to the concept of energy, there is no solid definition of energy we cannot see it. Therefore, energy was born from a hypothetical concept. Note: patterns of consistency in us are different in other people, we will behave consistently and differently our personality shapes all of these things. We use the construct of personality ideas to have an idea of what personality is and how it works. It"s not tangible, personality really is nothing we can"t see it, feel it, dissect it. The force of gravity it"s the theory that attracts one thing to.
