ABSTRACT

Having established the ability of the composite dimensions to provide an effective summarization of the individual’s behavior and experiences over time, we now examine the results obtained when the information was employed to formulate a description of individuality through the prototype model. As previously indicated, in attempts to formulate a general summary description through this model, it is necessary to employ a set of indicators that themselves are capable of providing a meaningful and accurate description of a broad range of significant past behaviors and experiences. The process-oriented dimensions identified in the composite component analysis might provide such a basis for constructing such a classification.
