". . . Change and sameness . . ." reconsidered

This paper acknowledges and responds to Jack Block's statistical critique of the author's previously reported study of changes and sameness in personality development. The critique was apt, and calls attention to the difficulty of working appropriately with numerous, multiply-assessed variables. A re-analysis of the data is presented here. The general pattern of findings remains consistent with the original interpretations, but the re-analysis produced some differences as well.
