Abstract

METHODS OF STUDYING PERSONALITY have far broader applications today than ever before. They are essential to effective war effort and to the implementation of democratic principles. Prediction is necessary in the placement of personnel in the military services and in the selection of personnel in government and industry. In the problems of postwar reconstruction a knowledge of the unique contribution each person can make will be basic to the effective functioning of a democratic society. Theories of personality may either be derived from novel variations in methodology, or they may dictate the methods of study employed in a given research. In the former instance, new light may be thrown on the structure and organization of personality; in the latter instance, the theory may be extended or clarified. Various theories of personality are represented in the publications of the last three years, but the most significant advances have been in the direction of study of the inner organization and the uniqueness of personality.
