The repertory grid technique revealed several things I had not realized about my self. I did not know about my pattern of the constructs that I analyze people by, and how I deploy certain bipolar constructs at different times. When I first meet someone, I have my go to construct of socially engaging-quite and tempered. When in interaction with my family and friends I have a certain order in which I interpret what I believe their behaviour is saying to me consecutively. Most of of the constructs used in my group were similar, which might have been because of the people being analyzed, but also could have been because of the position we were in. For myself I felt I needed more time to fully come up with an accurate picture of all the constructs I deploy when engaging pre-reflexively with people. I think Butt might answer it with the latter point. It is because of the individual who is doing the rating; what matters is the phenomenological position towards the others, how they interpret their interactions and what these interpretations mean to them; its about finding the truth they hold.

Hi,
Amazing work. I like all the explanation and examples you have provided. Keep up the good work. Can you elaborate more on the last point "its about finding the truth they hold", perhaps you can talk about what it really is looking from Butts perspective.
Thanks Ali

Hi Ali,
Yeah sure! What I meant by that, was what is important in phenomenology is not what "objectively" happened, but rather was what the person thought happened. How did they construe the situation? If we look into how they apply their constructs to social situations, and really focus on them and their perspective, we can really understand the person. That "truth" is the one Butt is looking for, without it he doesn't think we can really understand why people do what they do.
