On the acquisition of knowledge about personality traits: does learning about the self engage different mechanisms than learning about the others?
Article Abstract:
The self-ratings done by R.J., an individual with autism, shows that he sees his personality as being different from that of the others and his facility in learning about his own personalities cannot be applied in learning about the personality traits of others. It is suggested that learning about one's own personality trait may engage a different set of mechanisms than learning about the personality traits of others.
