What is Personality?
- Personality is the in-born traits that are unique to an individual.
- It is the characteristics of a person — the character traits that define who we are.
- These character traits are “temperaments” and “preferences” that determine our behaviors.
- Each one of us is born with a set of unique character traits.
- These traits determine how we think, feel and operate in this world.
- These traits are as unique as we are as individuals, and they differ from person to person.
Who are the Pioneers of Personality Research?
- Hypocrates first delineated personality types around 450 B.C.
- Hypocrates described the four basic types of personality as “temperaments”.
- Although the terminology for these 4 basic temperament types have changed over 2500 years, the basic idea remains unchanged.
- Swiss psychologist, Carl Gustav Jung, introdced personality “preferences” in the last century.
- Preferences are the natural inclinations in which we operate in this world —
- how we prefer to do things.
- Personality preference is similar to hand-preference (handedness) —
- Right-handed people prefer to use their right-hand over their left-hand, and vice versa.
- Our personality has preference too, we tend to prefer behave in a certain way over others.
Can Persoanlity Change Over Time?
- The answer is yes and no.
- Yes, the preference can change —
- that is, if you are left-handed, you can be converted to use your right hand first.
- And, no, because you still are a “lefty” even if you are converted to use your right hand.
- So the answer is no, as far as the intrinsic preference is concerned.
- But, yes, if you are talking about how external influence can alter your preference.
- What it means is that, given the free choice, you will naturally go back to use your left hand,
- i.e., gravitate toward your nature.
So How Do Nature and Nurture Influence Our Behavior?
- Since we are born with a set of character traits (temperaments and perferences),
- they form the “core” self in us — our “nature”.
- Other environmental conditions, such as upbringing, social pressure, etc., can alter our preferences in life.
- This is the “nurture” that influences the expression of our behaviors.
- If the nurture is tapping into our core nature so we can express fully,
- we will excel and do our very best.
- But if the nurture is forcing us to counter core nature,
- it will create conflicts, interfere with our nature, and slow us down.
Why is it so Important to Tap into your Nature?
- Our research shows that if we happen to change our personality traits in life unknowingly, and
- converted into someone who we are not,
- we will experience great discomfort in life because
- we will live in incongruency, creating conflicts and unhappiness within ourselves and others!
