ABSTRACT
In the last chapter we saw that personality phenomena are observed prescientifically from several points of view, and that these perspectives have been utilized both in theorizing about personality and in studying personality phenomena empirically. While the utilization of a variety of perspectives is an important fact, even more important to the systematic analysis of measuring procedures is the fact that a number of modes are used in the collection of personality data. These modes correspond somewhat to the several perspectives; the differences will be discussed later.
