The exercise you have just done illustrates Kelly’s idea of man as scientist. For Kelly, each individual’s behaviour could be likened to an experiment in which his or her construct system is tested in the world in a continuous problem-solving manner. He stated very strongly that making sense of actions and interactions was not just for psychologists:

Abstraction and generalization of human activity are not the exclusive prerogatives of professional psychologists. What they do any person may do. Indeed every person does! Each individual the psychologists study abstracts and generalizes on his own for he is even more vitally interested than they can ever be in the task of understanding himself and his relationship to other persons and values.
