From the Paper:

"Human beings and their personalities have been the subject of psychological interest for hundreds of years. In this paper, I will talk about my personality and the way that I was raised, and I will do it in the context of personality theories from several different theorists. Many different theorists have been involved in the study of personality, and they have come up with theories as different and varied as the people that created them. These theories have some similarities, but also contain many differences. This is largely because all of the psychologists who have proposed these theories have some of the same ideas and opinions about personality. They also have personalities and opinions of their own, and these affect the way they look at things as well as the perceptions of their subjects and their personalities and attributes. There is no way to take a person's individual personality out of his or her thoughts, feelings, and opinions, and this is also true of psychologists."
