Abstract

A fundamental feature of the psychological knowledge is the impossibility of objectifying acts of its content, since it is based on the study of the internal personality phenomena that are either completely unavailable or only partially available for impartial experimental verification. Like all other sciences, psychology is widely used metaphor to describe the identified primary phenomena. However, the psychological metaphor is different from the metaphors used by other sciences as it, becouse it describes phenomena inaccessible to direct perception of another person, it is a metaphor for her personality and creator of both personal metaphor perceiving faces. The definition can not fully describe psychological term, as its accuracy can not be directly tested, since, in principle, there is no blanket inner reality for the two individuals.
