Skinner quote

There is one last thing I want to add.  It is Skinner's quote from pg 361: "I do not believe that my life shows a type of personality a la Freud, an archetypal pattern a la Jung, or a schedule of development a la Erikson."  We can use observation, experiments and science to tell so much about a human-height, weight, hair color, eye color, genome, even brain waves.  But quantifying personality is so much harder. No one theorist seems to have all the right answers.  There is still so much for us to learn about ourselves and the human race.  The brain might truly be the "final frontier."
