Document Summary
All these things are usually not included on personality measures. It is a stable way of thinking, acting, and feeling, so . If you are extroverted today, you are extroverted tomorrow.

Example extraversion while teaching and at the gym, painful introversion everywhere else. Reification: occurs when abstract constructs are treated as if they are real or tangible (cid:498)extraversion(cid:499) is not like your liver or your occipital cortex. Taking an abstract concept and think of it as being real. E. g. , depression is real (even though depression is not actually real, because it does not have a shape, etc. ) It is not located in one place in the brain, cannot be directly measured, is not objectively defined (we can disagree on the shape of extraversion what it is, what counts, how to measure it, etc. )
