Since two individuals will perceive the same stimuli differently, their responses to them are not comparable. Every act must be evaluated according to the antecedent events and contextual givens - as perceived from the individual's perspective - and by what the individual intends to accomplish by the act. Every act is the test of an hypothesis.
