personology Personology is a New Age variation of the ancient pseudoscience of physiognomy, which holds that outward appearance, especially the face, is the key to a person's predominant temper and character. She is also the founder of the International Centre for Personology (not to be confused with the Personology Institute of San Diego nor the Institute for Advanced Studies in Personology and Psychopathology in Coral Gables, Florida). In short, personology is attractive because its proponents are amazed at how accurate it is. Their amazement is largely due to lack of understanding of such things as cold reading, confirmation bias, the Forer effect, and subjective validation. skepdic.com /personology.html   (733 words)

What is Personology?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) Personology has its roots in early Egyptian research that studied body and facial structure to identify behavioral variations. It is a documentation of your own trait patterns and their interactions that produce your innate talents and skills; a documentation presented to you in simple language that will allow you to put this knowledge to use in your own self-unfoldment. The Personology Profile provides you with a self-portrait that is uncannily accurate. www.personology.com /what   (361 words)

© POL.it 1998. Robert R. Holt, 'Individuality and Generalization in the Psychology of Personality' (2/3) If personology were to be devoted to word portraits that seek to evoke in the reader the thrill of recognition, the gratifying (if perhaps illusory) feeling of understanding unique individuals, it would become not an idiographic science but an art. Personology is a subjective discipline as contrasted to objective branches of psychology, being concerned with values and meanings, which cannot be subjected to quantification Personology has not been much restrained from seeking general relationships among its variables by this narrow view, however; the journals are full of investigations in which aspects of personality are studied genetically (that is, are related to the abstract variable of age) or are correlated, one with another. www.priory.com /ital/docu6a-i.htm   (6023 words)

Salience Consulting - What is Personology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) Personology is the study of structure and form in the human body.

Personology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mainstream science considers personology to be a wholly false pseudoscience. After seeing Jones perform a cold reading on his wife, Robert L. Whiteside, a newspaper editor, became an ardent supporter of personology and is said by Tickle to have 'done the science' proving the validity of personology in an experiment that "used 1,068 subjects and found the accuracy to be better than 90%". Robert Whitehead obviously became aware of the holes present in Jones' theory and continued on to attempt to scientifically prove that personology is not a pseudoscience. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Personology   (915 words)

Gary goes on to talk about the personology of people born on this cusp, and he mentions some annual events at this time of year, some historical events, famous people born on this cusp, and types of relationships to other cusps. www.daykeeperjournal.com /aarch04/0401jan/bkcorner.shtml   (829 words)

People Reading with Bill Whiteside: Discover YOUR Behavioral Style Personology may sound like something a little New Agey, but in fact this method of profiling individual traits and human behavior has its roots in the venerable discoveries and wisdom of the ancients such as Aristotle, Hippocrates and Galen. When a skeptical Robert Whiteside, editor of the Tulare California newspaper and Bill Whiteside's uncle, attended one of Jones' Personology lectures and was impressed with the accuracy of the method, a partnership was formed. From studies and surveys of 1,050 adults conducted at the Personology Foundation of San Francisco, a master list of 68 behavioral traits emerged, which proved statistically significant at the one percent level. www.ireadfaces.com /comstock.html   (851 words)

Toward a New Personology: An Evolutionary Theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) Considering any personality theory as unscientific and archaic, proponents of the empirical and positivist schools that predominated in the sixties and seventies chose to dismiss a century of analytic trailblazing by such as Freud, Jung, Homey Sullivan, et al., and concentrated instead on "objectively real" traits, S-R bonds, or statistical factors. Trends which previously led to a decline in studies of personality and its disorders have sharply reversed; personologic themes and issues that were given short shrift in the 1960s and 1970s have not only reemerged, but have moved into the limelight of clinical work. Given that most were nomothetically, rather than idiographically inclined, this new breed of quasi-empiricist made a shambles of the inspired "personality-as-a-coherent-whole" theories which nurtured those who entered the clinical field in the post-World War II era. hometown.net /TNP.htm   (782 words)

Psychobiography: Personology Personology is a term invented by Henry Murray as a kind of replacement for the unwieldy phrase "personality psychology." What it means, most simply, is this: a commitment to the study of single, complex, lived lives over time, from a variety of different angles. Personology responds to Carlson's critique, restoring the biographical subject to its legitimate place in psychology proper. The Society for Personology was created roughly fifteen years ago in part to provide a forum for the discussion of personological research, and also to encourage the advancement of personology as a subdisciplinary endeavor. www.psychobiography.com /personology.html   (601 words)

Last check: 2007-10-15) One of personology's leading voices is Bill Whiteside, vice president of the Personology Institute and president of Innovative Behavior Concepts in Folsom.

Henry A. Murray Personology | Free Term Papers, Essays, Book Reports   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) Henry A. Murray: Personology Personology is the science of people.
