What is personality?
Personality is broadly described as the characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors that make a person unique. In plain English, it is what makes you you.

Characteristics of Personality
Personality is organized and consistent.

Although personality is generally stable, it can be influenced by the environment.

Personality causes behaviors to happen. 

THEORIES

Psychodynamic Theories

Psychodynamic theories of personality are heavily influenced by the work of Sigmund

Freud and emphasize the influence of the unconscious mind and childhood experiences on
personality.

Freud believed the three components of personality were the id, ego, and superego. The id is
responsible for needs and urges, while the superego regulates ideals and morals. The ego, in
turn, moderates the demands of the id, superego, and reality

Id
According to Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality, the id is the personality component
made up of unconscious psychic energy that works to satisfy basic urges, needs, and desires.
The id operates based on the pleasure principle, which demands immediate gratification of
need.
Ego
According to Freud, the ego is the largely unconscious part of the personality that mediates the
demands of the id, the superego, and reality. The ego prevents us from acting on our basic
urges (created by the id) but also works to achieve a balance with our moral and idealistic
standards (created by the superego).
Superego
The superego is the component of personality composed of our internalized ideals that we have
acquired from our parents and from society. The superego works to suppress the urges of the id
and tries to make the ego behave morally, rather than realistically.

Humanist Theories

Humanist theories emphasize the importance of free will and individual experience in the
development of personality.7 Humanist theorists include Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow.

Humanist theorists promote the concept of self-actualization, which is the innate need for
personal growth and the ways that personal growth motivates behavior.

Trait Theories

The trait theory approach is one of the most prominent areas in personality psychology.

According to these theories, personality is made up of a number of broad traits. A trait is a
relatively stable characteristic that causes an individual to behave in certain ways. It is
essentially the psychological "blueprint" that informs behavioral patterns.

The Big 5 theory suggests that all personalities can be characterized by five major personality
dimensions: openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism,
collectively referred to by the acronym OCEAN.

Based on the different personality theories I evaluate my personality as:

INTROVERT AND ARTISTIC

INTROVERT:

An introvert is a person with qualities of a personality type known as introversion, which means that
they feel more comfortable focusing on their inner thoughts and ideas, rather than what’s happening
externally. They enjoy spending time with just one or two people, rather than large groups or
crowds.

SIGNS OF INTROVERSION:

 Need quiet to concentrate

 reflective
 self-aware
 Take time making decisions
 Feel comfortable being alone
 Don't like group work
  Prefer to write rather than talk
 Feel tired after being in a crowd
 Have few friendships, but are very close with these friends
 Daydream or use their imaginations to work out a problem

ARTISTIC:
An artistic personality type uses their hands and mind to create new things. They appreciate
beauty, unstructured activities and variety. They enjoy interesting and unusual people, sights,
textures and sounds. These individuals prefer to work in unstructured situations and use
their creativity and imagination.
