Reading this book for a class that I am auditing (as a senior citizen - oh god, really?) I gave it four stars because Mayer is one of the movers and shakers of personality theory, and he describes the modern framework of it very well. That said, I am finding the subject supremely uninspiring. Until someone can explain to me why this whole branch of psychology is not simply, "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin," I'll go on considering most of the material in it the "duh" factor.
I'm going to finish it simply because I don't want to give up on the class (the professor is very good), and in the hope that I will be proven wrong in the end, and that the subject is not simply academic masturbation.
