What a strange definition of personality. Are they saying that a dude who comes home from work every day and drinks beer and scratches his balls while watching ESPN is exhibiting more personality than someone who goes to a museum, writes poetry, hangs with friends, runs, watches TV, etc. etc. because BallScratcher McCoorsDrinker is more consistent and predictable in his behavior?
If that's the case, then I'll be happy to have the personality of a dishrag.
From what I've learned in college psych, personality as predictable behaviors doesn't mean what you actively DO, necessarily, but more of how you repeatedly react to things. Like me for instance, I pretty much always get defensive when criticized, so that's a part of my personality. So the collection of your typical reactions to different situations would be considered your personality.
@Tippi Hedren: That's what I thought... I mean, at its worst, consistency is just plain boring, which sure doesn't constitute personality as far as I'm concerned.
Am I the only one who doesn't think women come out of this very well? You're either a gossip, frigid, a whore or a 'wallflower' which looks to me suspiciously like she's guarding her drink from the aforementioned 'roofies' (read: frigid again).
Could just be my sensitivity to this sort of nonsense though.
@RubyStar: I think we all think that, but to me it seems like a waste of energy to get mad about it when we spend so much time shouting about this sort of nonsense already.
@boobalore: I drink from the stirrer because I don't want to put my mouth on the rim of the glass. I've worked in bars. The inside of the glass is the cleanest, the rim usually the dirtiest.

Sorry, what was that drivel about personalities? I sees a cute kitteh.
What if your personality is based in being consistently unpredictable? What about that, huh?

We could be discussing the evaporation rates of freshly placed concrete pavements and its relation to shrinkage cracking.
