Re: souping up Personality

Joe et al.:

I like to challenge students with the notion that "there ain't no such thing." There is a temperament, perhaps, but by and large human behavior is highly context dependent, i.e., one behaves quite differently when in the role of authority figure than when in the role of follower etc.

I am not entirely convinced of this myself, although I do suspect it from time to time. But it's a great discussion starter.
