This paper defines personology as a multidisciplinary science and divides the work into theoretical and empirical parts. In the theoretical section, criteria are established to identify intellectual work as "personological." Six scientific works are analyzed according to these criteria, and personological models are extracted using the modeling method. These models are compared based on two primary criteria: 1) the "General Personology" model by Elena Borisovna Starovoitenko and Vadim Arturovich Petrovsky, the most comprehensive and visually representative personological model, and 2) the General Personology Scale, developed by Starovoitenko, which ranks personological works by scope and practical applicability. The strengths and weaknesses of each model are discussed, and the results are generalized. In the empirical section, a structured interview with psychology students from various countries explores their understanding of personology. Thematic analysis is used to identify key themes from their responses. Additionally, a similar interview was conducted with artificial intelligence in six languages to examine online discourse on personology, and the themes were re-analyzed. The paper concludes by addressing contemporary challenges in defining personology, its scope, and methodology, and integrates the findings to advance the understanding of the field.
