Summary
This chapter is on Samoan opinions of personality. Noncommitalism seems to be the norm.
Discussion
Dr. Mead does a better than in many of the previous chapters of drawing comparisons well between western and Samoan culture. However, I expect I would go insane if I lived in a culture where "I don't know" was a favorite answer. The statement about having to taboo "search me" was telling as to the degree of this.
