Reply to comment by Petaurus_australis in Neuroimaging study shows that people with similar personalities tend to have similar brain responses when viewing naturalistic stimuli. by chrisdh79

It's only tautological if you take "personality" to literally mean "pattern of neurological responses to similar sensory input".

This is a pretty non-standard way of defining "personality", and certainly not the way people learn the word...

So no it's not tautological.

Probably because we teach kids basic vocabulary before we teach them about neurological responses to sensory input
