Abstract
This article describes part of a theory of personality based on elaboration of the miniscript concept (Kahler & Capers, 1974). Human beings' knowledge of their essential dependency on one another invokes the concept of love as a means by which they can transcend their basic self-centeredness. Fear of not being loveworthy invokes righteousness, which is the enemy of love. Righteousness has five faces—duty, need, expediency, togetherness, and sex—associated respectively with the five personality types developed from Kahler's (Kahlers & Capers, 1974) miniscript drivers—“Be perfect,” “Hurry up,” “Please,” “Try hard,” and “Be strong.”
