Hi Derek, The 'general' (i.e. residue of commonality) view is a-theoretical, it amounts to trait analysis.
FWIW, I am not commending orthogonality. Quite the reverse. The minimal requirement for a theoretical conception of personality is one that incorporates genetic logic, i.e. a logic that explains how things come into being, rather than a descriptive and superficial logic of attributes or traits. Integral to this undertaking is a proffering of relations between culture, motive and cognition (in addition to bio-genetic and neurological considerations) along with many (traditionally) philosophically conceived problems. If you're interested in 'higher level functions', I can commend vol. 4 of the collected works of L.S. Vygotsky (The History of the Development of Higher Level Functions). You will not find all the answers here, but you will find a promising way of thinking about the problems and how to study them.
