ADISCUSSIONSOV

Defining Personality:

 It is a pattern of relatively permanent traits and unique characteristics that give

both consistency and individuality to a person’s behavior (Feist, Feist, &
Roberts, 2013)

Greek word “Persona” which means “Mask”.

What first comes in your mind if you hear the word “SELF”?

Self – constitutes an individual’s personal identity with typical ways. It encompasses

one’s body, feelings, emotions, thoughts, values, and relationships.

• Western Psychology: Self is generally as one’s personality or ego.

1

• Asian Psychology : Self or personality is but a frozen picture or concept of the self from past
conditioning or how one was raised in the family and community, that may no longer be
2 true to the evolving and wiser self in the present time.

Personality Types: an integrated collection of personality traits that tend to

characterize an individual.

Examples of tools:
1. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
2. The Enneagram: an Asian tool for knowing oneself and one’s personality
type.

“Ennea” which means “nine” (9).

Type 1: Reformer Type 4: Individualist Type 7: Enthusia st

Type 2: Helper Type 5: Inve stigator Type 8: Challenger

Type 3: Achiever Type 6: Loyalist Type 9:
Peacemaker

Determining Personality Traits

Determining Personality Traits

Gordon Allport – a psychologist who spouse the uniqueness of each individual. He

focused on understanding and measuring personality in terms of traits, which are the
enduring and consistent disposition of human beings. He identified around 200 traits
that guide people’s behavior.

Raymond Cattell – conducted researches on personality traits and proposed that

personality is made up of 16 basic dimensions or the 16 Personality Test. Meaning;
these 16 traits are the source or core of all human personality.

Traits – reaction tendencies that are somewhat permanent parts of personality.

Robert McCrae and Paul Costa: narrowed down the 16 PT into five categories or the
“BIG Five.”
“OCEAN”

O – Openness C – Conscientiousness E – Extraversion A – Agreeableness

N- Neuroticism (Emotional Instability)
