The Personality Project
This is a set of pages meant to guide those interested in personality theory and
research to the current personality
research literature. Although some of the readings are available on-line,
all should be available from most university libraries. Information about
scholarly societies and graduate training programs in personality is provided for those interested in pursuing further study in personality
theory. Course syllabi from personality theory and research courses are being added gradually. Some links to active researchers and personality laboratories are also available. By William Revelle.

The aims of the Society are to investigate the major dimensions of individual differences in the context of experimental, physiological, pharmacological, clinical, medical, genetical, statistical, and social psychology; and to seek the determinants, causes, and concomitants of individual differences using concepts derived from these disciplines.
Personality, Motivation, and Cognition Laboratory
