personality spectrum
This is my first time making pseudo-science so please be nice.
Hey want something you already know rephrased into a clearer form.
Hey do you consider yourself open minded?
Do you consider yourself close minded?
Or maybe you think you're an introvert?
Or an ambivert, or an extravert?
Well I’ve got a better idea.
You are maybe introverted only towards some people. And open towards only some ideas.
Each idea or person can be thought of as existing in a network of connections.
An introverted person does not exist. A close minded person does not either.
You are not just a single trait. You are a thousand million traits spread out across a million ideas and people. Each person has their own spectrum attached to them for how introverted you are around them. Each idea, or person has its own spectrum.
When you define yourself as open minded, or extraverted, you're more so giving a generalization.
Part two openness to experience and extraversion are the same
Openness to experience is extraversion about non-social encounters. An introvert is closed to experience.
You can deconstruct both of them so that they merge into one another.
Extraversion is openness to people.
Fuck the definition of extraversion that talks about “gaining energy from other people” you gain energy from sleeping…
Part three: the four tensions Abstract metaphysics!!!+Big Five Personality traits! Let’s go!
There are four tensions present inside of objects, Space, Time, Essence and Eidos.
Time: the constant change of temporary traits, separating sensual object’s from their sensual qualities. Time is an asymmetry, the difference between the past and the future. The portal that vanishes once you step into another world, no world more important than the last.
Space: the attachment of temporary traits to the being of the object they are attached to. Imagine how I may sit in the United States despite being able to travel elsewhere. There is an unnecessary element attached to my being, and I am an unnecessary element attached to the US’s being.
Essence: is how the defining traits of an object connect to it. Essence is the opposite of time in some respects. Essence connects an apple’s ability to be eaten and experienced as a juicy crunchy sweet tart thing, with the apple itself. If you could not crunch into the sweet apple the apple, it would not be the same.
Eidos: is our theoretical access to an object's qualities. It is what separates the image of an apple from its natural ability to give us juicy goodness. This is the theoretical access of objects. If I stare at your face, I assume that you have the back of your head as well, even though I cannot see it.
There is a corresponding way of thinking about personality for each of these sections. The ones corresponding to Essence and Eidos are both generalizations. The ones corresponding to Time and Space are both heterogeneous all across.
Temporal personality:Your personality changes over time. This is your personality from one moment to the next. It’s that simple.
Spatial personality: This is discussed in part one. Your personality is made of a web of connected ideas. These ideas can be open or close. This is spatial, because it shows a network of connections that happen to be the case though they could be otherwise. You are open to one conspiracy theory for some reasons to another and closed to a different one.
Essential personality: people will often appeal to an inner self. This is the unchanging you. Regardless of whether you are aware, or not. I try to steer clear of this. For example introversion may be an essential part of you.
Eidetic personality: This is how you are identified from others personality wise. This is how we are not a blob of the same people.
A well made character in a story will have all of these (maybe). They should have a distinct, eidetic, essential, spatial, and temporal character.
