A Personality Framework
“What is the nature of my relationship with all that is not me?”
Correspondence typology offers “a schema by which we may better understand ourselves through the lens of the cosmic exchange between the self and the not-self.”
Built on the concept of a worldview
Weltanschauung — “a particular philosophy or view of life; a concept of the world held by an individual or a group.”
Oxford English Dictionary
Attitudes, not traits
“In every person I’ve ever met, I cared more about their worldview than their personality type.”
“I would suggest that a worldview is built on top of those traits as a kind of executive layer; a wheelhouse with both auto-pilot and manual mode.”

From an unfinished book
“A more accurate description of my methods in developing this theory would be to say that I locked myself in a room alone with nothing but a pen, paper, and a mirror.”
