Psychology Personality Paper
The patterns of society influence our everyday reaction. These reactions form our thoughts and ideas as they reveal our personalities. Personality is the combination of characteristics or qualities that create an individual’s distinctive character. A person’s personality makes us who we are, what makes us unique. The purpose of this paper is to explain my characteristics, discuss where they came from, and my thoughts towards the personality test.
There are many characteristics that could be used to describe me. I am very outgoing, committed, action-oriented, and organized, among many other things. Sadly not all of my traits are considered positive; I can be considered high strung, stress driven, controlling, and having a strong desire to always need to impress. All of my positives are very helpful in anything that involves people, especially planning and organizing events which is something I have done many times in high school and also college. With all of these traits in mind, I agree with the psychodynamic perspective, which is a personality that is primarily unconscious (King, 2013, pg.362), I believe that our characteristics are created by our reaction to society and then certain traits stick and become a part of us without even realizing it. One trait that I significantly gained awareness to and utilized to my full advantage in my senior year of high school and still use is being action-oriented. I made connections to people easily and in team-based situations I was the one that made sure people stayed focused, while still making sure that everyone felt their opinions were still being heard. I often just assumed responsibility, and made sure all issues came to closure in a positive way, this was something that I believe that I just grew up learning and knowing because I am the oldest of seven children.
The person I am today was built through the experiences I have lived through and the people I have great respect for. I lived in Joplin from the age of
