| Summary: | This paper is concerned with a comprehensive and enlarged personality concept in ordain to
emphasize its usefulness in theoretical and applied multivariate psychology. Approaching it as a
paradigm (accepted model for prediction and assessment of behaviours and dispositions) eight axioms
are stated that become the backbone for any research followed up through multifactorial procedures.
Likewise, the �disciplinary matrix� is pointed out, making sense of those shared elements and
experimental attainment which connect Multidimensional Personality Theory and General
Psychology. Finally, several viewpoints are looked over since traits (into the General Systems
Theory�s context) are reviewed as sub-systems which transduce, transform and integrate behavioural
information. So personality is figured out as a dynamic, complex and multi-leveled supra-system.
Traits become not mere hypothetical constructs but modulating focuses of influence and
determination |
