Recommendation for deletion for misleading information I recommend this page either be deleted or updated to reflect that "conation" only appeared in a handful of scholarly psych papers in the 1980's. It recently reappeared on the internet so the Kolbe Institute could sell their personality indices.

As this page exists now, it serves only to attribute legitimacy/credibility to a marketable term. This page is making money for pseudoscience, and the English Wikipedia.org has already deleted the entry that the Kolbe Institute invented.

As an aside, I should mention that "conation" is a term that sees use in philosophy now, and means something entirely different in that field. This page is muddying Google searches for philosophy students.
