Bi-modal personality: Developing an understanding

There is an increasing body of literature concerned with what has come to be known as bi-modal, or bi-modality, (personality) theory. This article contains a brief resume of bi-modality theory and its two behavior modes of agonic and hedonic. The development of a questionnaire to assess personal preference for operating within each modality is reported. The theory is brought to the reader’s attention, and a direction in which the theory may be extended in the future is outlined. References are provided to guide those interested in further reading.
