Over the next few months I will attempt to significantly shift my personality, which I know is extremely difficult without the aid of a traumatic experience. How would one try to record and measure of shifting their own personality? I was initially thinking of keeping a stimulus/response journal, taking the Big 5 personality test at intervals, maybe blood work too.

Yes, because there is. It's called "self-determinacy". This is the kind of causality Langan appeals to in his theory (the CTMU), and it is the *only* kind of causality which is applicable at the limit of causality (the universe). Why? Because reality must, by definition, configure and select its own laws. There can't be anything external to reality "determining" it or its structure. If you say otherwise, that's a logical contradiction. This cannot be argued.
