: But what are you determining as the final overriding factors that make the actual real differences between say - 4,5, and 6?
: Becuase I have never scored high on 6 - except for Oldham's "vigilant" category of "don't trust" - course - also - that was only learned from my environment within the past half decade or so - the whole "don't trust" thing - prior to that - I would have *never* scored that high on the "vigilant" category -because I grew up in a excruciatingly closed and suffocatingly protected environment.
: So what we should really be careful of here is to make sure we separate the inborn traits seen from childhood - from the later on - in later adulthood life-learned-from-the-environment- traits that I acquired only through late adult life learning - not early adult life - not adolescence- not childhood - but only late adult hood - did I "increase" those 'vigilant' "traits" of mine - and also not out of 'personal preference' - but only out of "neceessity due to no other way to survive w/o learning and acquiring it - fast, too".
: See what I'm saying? Or too many run-ons? (I know -I write way too many run-on sentences- but I'm so tired - I can't write proper english sentences right now- it's too late in the day and too taxing on my mind right now)
: But, seriously, please seriously factor in this later-adulthood change due to the external environment - personality 'change'.
: This is interesting to learn about.
