Post-Empiricism as the Anti-Fragile Assessment Psychology

I’m going to make a longer post with a table that includes recent publications, shoutouts to student coauthors, and the theoretical implication for each of these papers – organized across domains of thought that I think are important to advancing personality science. I’ve used this blog a few times now as a way to notetake my thoughts as I go throughout the process of publications etc. In doing so, it has helped me organize my philosophy of science and come to understand better what it is in relation to the field. Largely, I find myself to identify with the term “post-empiricist” to best describe my critical, intersectional, and (at times) anti-empirical reliance on objectivity and control. I have put these thoughts together in a paper that I have submitted for publication, but I have shared with a few trusted folks already to get feedback and reactions. I thought I might share it here as well, in it’s unpublished form. I’m uploading it to a public pre-print server later today as well and will add that information below.
