Question
"The question of how personality works is one often attributed to psychology by
philosophers (Marinoff, 2000; Murphy & Kovach, 1972, pp. 13, 214). Questions
of what causes the various characters have been raised since Antiquity (Robinson,
1976, p. 48). The psychiatric diagnosis of "Hysteria" for example, dates from
Ancient Egypt when it was attributed to a wandering womb (Veith, 1970).
Certainly, this isn't the real cause, but it represented a search for causes. Such
exploration is reflected in Question the question: How does personality work?
