Gerard Saucier on Exterior/interior - Dictionary of Arguments

Corr I 393
Exterior/interior perspective/personality/Saucier:
External perspective:In some ways the two approaches to defining personality embody different perspectives on the person. Seeing personality as attributes, we take an external perspective that averages across behavioural instances in conceiving generalized qualities and tendencies.
>Attributes
.
This is fundamentally how others see us, and is the basis for reputations.
Objectivity: when many informants tend to agree about a target person, this yields a degree of objectivity that is not possible from a single self-report Hofstee 1994)(1).
>Objectivity, >Intersubjectivity.
Corr I 394
Internal perspective: When we conceive of personality as a behaviour-generating system, we focus instead on the standards, expectancies, beliefs, values, goals and other schemas held ‘within’ the individual.
>Self-description, >Expectations, >Beliefs, >Values, >Goals.
Such contents can certainly be inferred from behavioural observations, task performance and implicit attitudes (observing how the presentation of the concept affects judgements), but self-report is often the most direct way to elicit such contents.
>Attitudes, >Lexical hypothesis, >Lexical studies.
