The site has once again been updated. This update involved another streamlining of navigation plus a comprehensive clean-up of style and linking.

The "Main Selections" are still the first pages to read for the interested visitor, but anyone who wants "Further Detail" should find the older, more in-depth pages much more friendly now, as their style has been updated to match the rest of the site. Excess pages in the "Authors and Further Site Information" section have been consolidated, and countless links have been fixed or updated throughout. This includes a lot more cross-linking between pages to help connect related areas in the different discussions on this site.

Welcome to the site, and I hope you find the experience enjoyable.

If you are a repeat visitor to this site, you probably have noticed that the site has just changed in form. For one thing, the older personality site had no "messages and updates" page.

I hope I haven't inconvenienced any users by so suddenly changing the form of the site. After posting an alert on the earlier site concerning the changeover, it seemed time to make the change. This revision maintains enough of the old site so that, I believe, users won't be too inconvenienced by the change, and moreover, I am hopeful that people will appreciate the revision.

I hope that you will find this new, streamlined site, easier on the eye, more interesting, and easier to navigate.

Most of the material on the old site remains on this new site, although sometimes it has been reformatted or moved.

The following editorial choices may help you find anything that you were missing...

  • I have tried to make more extensive use of the fourfold organization of the framework to organize material on the web page; that is, (1) introduction to personality, (2) personality's parts, (3) personality's organization, and (4) personality development.
  • A few pages that didn't quite fit into the new format are now in the "Archives" section.
  • Other than that, most of the original material is now here, better organized, and, in some instances, such as this Messages and Updates page, expanded.
  • One exception to the above is that I have removed some of the narrative that explained the relation of each pesonality topic to the systems framework for personality. That narrative seemed cumbersome and of limited interest. In its place, at some point, I hope to add a separate essay on the relationship between the systems framework and this web site, for those who are interested.
