Abstract
In the last 25 years, there is no issue in personality psychology which has been as hotly debated as that of “consistency”. Many would argue that the debate over the consistency of personality has created much heat and little light. It is true that too much effort has been expended investigating unanswerable and unproductive questions (such as “How consistent is personality?”), and too little effort has been expended on more fruitful topics (such as “Where does one find consistency?”).
