FEEDBACK: Allport's most famous case is an analysis of a collection of more than 300 letters written over a 12-year period by a middle-aged woman identified as Jenny. One of Allport's students performed a computer analysis on the letters to find categories of words that might indicate the existence of a particular trait. The computer analysis yielded eight prominent traits in Jenny's personality that were similar to the categories Allport had identified.
