Personality is generally believed to be possessed by all people in differing degrees. Empirically speaking, simply because
the item exists, it should be measurable and in many
scientific disciplines, it is necessary to evaluate and define all existing phenomena. The paper argues that in psychology, this overzealous assigning of labels is impractical and unnecessary. It also argues that the uniqueness of personalities should be appraised and the differing theories of
personality should be viewed objectively. In addition, the author feels that that placing a definition on the term "personality" could ultimately narrow one's focus and inhibit scientific creativity.
