Reacción a "Reactions to study claiming that pandemic has caused personality change"

Personality tests assess a person's tendency to show similar behaviours in different contexts. For example, to measure your "extraversion" you are asked whether you tend to talk to others in most situations, whether you are usually sociable, and so on. We may all feel more talkative one day and more reserved another. But a person with high extraversion tends to be talkative or sociable most of the time. 

Therefore, the results of this study, if replicated, could indicate that with the pandemic people changed some of their usual behaviours. Seen in this light, the possible personality changes may not be so surprising. The pandemic was long enough for many of our usual behaviours to change. 

It will be very interesting to see whether, over time, people maintain these changes in their behaviours or whether, on the contrary, the behaviours that were more common before the pandemic return.
