"The Star Newspaper reported . . ." And give sources of data where important or possible. (2) the social personality is eager to relay good news and reluctant to relay bad. (3) a social personality passes communication without much alteration and if deleting anything tends to delete injurious matters. (4) treatment, reform and psychotherapy particularly of a mild nature work very well on the social personality. (5) the friends and associates of a social personality tend to be well, happy and of good morale. (6) the social personality tends to select correct targets for correction.

(7) cycles of action begun are ordinarily completed by the social personality, if possible. (8) the social personality is ashamed of his misDecds and reluctant to confess them. He takes responsibility for his errors. (9) the social personality supports constructive groups and tends to protest or resist destructive groups. (10) destructive actions are protested by the social personality. He assists constructive or helpful actions. (11) the social personality helps others and actively resists acts which harm others.

2. the social personality naturally operates on the basis of the greatest good. He is not haunted by imagined enemies but he does recognize real enemies when they exist. The social personality wants to survive and wants others to survive. Basically the social personality wants others to be happy and do well. (ISE, p. 19)
