Theories of personality, in their different proposition formulate levels of actuation that range from the associative system (S‐R pattern) to the S 's level of significance (S‐S pattern), going through the mediating processes (S‐0‐R pattern). Such divergence of points of view suggested a necessary bridge to link the different patterns and establish a connection from the nucleus to the periphery. This was accomplished by an image of the personality symbolized in a sphere that represents an indivisible concept. The multiplicity of dimensions that characterize man—seen as an indivisible and univocal whole—are represented by the multiple interaction of three worlds: The umwelt , the mitwelt and the eigenwelt , within the sphere of personality.
