So Dr. Paulos is definitely one of the world's most outstanding

psychometric personality psychologists, that is personality psychologists

who specify, who specialize in the field of mathematical measurement of behavioral

and conceptual traits.

I concentrated mostly on trying to further develop the idea of the big five
