Personality is difficult to describe, but nearly impossible to define in a universally acceptable way. Throughout history many definitions of personality have been proposed but none universally accepted. This is because of the reality that each individual’s definition comes with a unique spin placed upon it by that individual’s life experience, surroundings, and personal viewpoint. Personality can be described as the regular presentation of certain traits and attributes that lend cohesion and uniqueness to behavior and thought (Feist & Feist, 2009). Although there is not a single, universally accepted definition of personality,…
Personality is an individual’s unique and relatively consistent patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. Learning about personality helps us to understand how and why people act the way they do. There are four perspectives of personality: psychoanalytic perspective, humanistic perspective, social cognitive perspective and trait perspective.

The humanistic perspective represents an optimistic look at human nature, emphasizing the self and the fulfillment of the person’s unique potential. The social cognitive perspective…

There are some who are carefree while there are those who are highly-strung and there are those who are over-confident while some are just plain shy. It is this issue of differences that are fundamental to the study and examination of personality.…

Kinesthetic learners seem to learn better by doing hands-on activities such as drawing. There are four different personality types and they are analyzers, supporters, creators and directors. Analyzers are usually honest and understanding people. Supporters tend to be very supportive people and they can relate well to others. Directors are dependable people and they usually want to be the leader in groups. (Hemmer, 2007)…
An individual’s character can be determined by many factors. People learn behaviour from external factors like the environment they grow up in and by observing the people they interact with.

A temperament is a person’s natural disposition; the mental, physical, and emotional traits that makes a person who they are (Definition of Temperament). The theory of the four temperaments suggests that…
