Interpersonal Diagnosis of Personality

“Leary's enduring contribution to psychodiagnosis, or, more generally, to the typology of personality, is embodied in his honored 1957 volume, INTERPERSONAL DIAGNOSIS OF PERSONALITY....The concept of levels was implicit in sophisticated personality descriptions, and degrees of consciousness were recognized in all the psychodynamically based systems, but none were connected systematically through the concept of interpersonal behavior as in the Leary system.”
