CC is the state where the nervous system allows one to maintain pure consciousness 24-hours/day. As to how this transforms an individual personality, if it does at all, it seems to me that it would depend on which stresses are preventing the nervous system from maintaining PC 24/7. *In general*, I would expect most people to become "nicer," calmer, etc., but the definition of CC that MMY uses doesn't insist that they will behave the way you want them to.
