Personality Reflections
Personality is a very complex and different type of element based on scientific research to define individuals differently, which makes everyone uniquely different. To define personality I would say it consists of a group of psychological forces of science that individuals use differently, which helps them to understand their unique way of living along with specific communication skills. (Friedman & Schustack, Chapter1, 2011)
The key personality features that are used to define me are built on the set of psychological traits that make me different from others but are based on the eight basic aspects of personality, and these aspects are psychoanalytic, neo-analytic/Ego, biological, humanist/existential, behaviorists, cognitive, traits, and perspective. However, when concerning my personal personality features I would describe myself being honest, reliable, outgoing, open to new experiences, intelligent, and a loving/caring type of person. For example, I am the type of person who gets along well with others and respect personal judgment for others regardless of the situation (Friedman & Schustack, Chapter1, 2011).
The key concepts used to explain my personality include caring, depression, anxiety, stress, amnesia, lack of sleep, hypervigilant, and focused. These concepts relate to me and best describes my personality because, depending on the situation and environment I may experience a number of these concepts. However, under any circumstances I will find effective ways to solve problems that may occur (Friedman & Schustack, Chapter2, 2011).
Personality features are subject to change with me, depending on the situation for example, on a regular stress free day I handle problems and challenges very quick and effectively. However, on a bad day I may not be capable of handling different situations effectively as I would on a good day.
