Personality is indeterminate.
The so-called unique environmental factor in behaviour genetics research, the longitudinal instability of personality, and the unpredictability of human creativity are all manifestations of the same process. Thus a scientific explanation of any one of them should account for them all. That process, it is proposed, is the inherently indeterminate global dynamics of the human brain. The clear implication is that all social sciences have inherently indeterminate phenomena as their subject matter. Predictions of the results of an appropriately designed psychometric study based on this hypothesis are offered.
