Personality is the entire pattern of psychological characteristics thinking, feeling, and behaving that differentiates us [one individual] from other (Nairne, Lindsay, Paulhus, & Smith, 2001). It reflects and dictates our living in society on the conscious and the subconscious levels. The way society perceives each an every individual is different and is graded on the basis of personality and uniqueness of each. Personality can not be defined by itself without mentioning the traits associated with it. Traits are tendencies of an individual to set their behaviour in way that it remains stable over prolonged periods of time (Nairne et al., 2001).
Personality by itself or outlining the traits exhibited by an individual can not suffice the need of analysing and predicting an individual 's behaviour in different circumstances. Due to this reason, Personality theories started developing in the field of psychology (Nairne et al., 2001). These theories contrasted the other cognition based theories to the core since these depended on the mere reactions based on appropriate stimulus a person would be exposed to. Therefore, studying such theories is integral to the study of psychology and also helps us perceive our individual uniqueness in comparison to the standards that are built for us by the society (Nairne et al., 2001).
The objective of this discussion is to analyse an individual 's personality and gather the defining traits. This analysis of individualistic behaviour through the "Big Five" and Allport 's trait theory would provide insights to how well the psychological aspect fits into the uniqueness of an individual rather than of cognitive thought processing.
