Abstract
Using biographical data collected in late adolescence and young adulthood, prototypes or subgroups of individuals with similar patterns of prior behaviors and experiences were empirically identified The prototypes are described, and the pathways taken by the prototypes from adolescence to adulthood are examined Focusing on the various pathways or trajectories followed by different prototypes, we discuss implications of prototype membership for continuity and change in personalityKeywords
