Personality Overview
- Personality refers to individual differences in thinking, feeling, and behavior patterns.
- The term originates from the Latin word "persona," meaning a theatrical mask.
- Two areas of focus: understanding individual differences in traits and how these traits combine in a person.
Definitions of Personality
- Personality comprises permanent traits and unique characteristics, providing consistency and individuality.
- It serves as a predictor of behavior in specific situations.
- Distinctive behavior patterns encompass thoughts, feelings, emotions, and actions.
Fundamental Characteristics of Personality
- Consistency: Recognizable order and regularity in behaviors across situations.
- Psychological and Physiological: Influenced by biological processes, impacting behavior and actions.
- Multiple Expressions: Expressed through behavior, thoughts, feelings, and social interactions.

The Big Five Personality Traits
-
Openness: Characterized by imagination, curiosity, and creativity; high scorers embrace challenges and abstract concepts, while low scorers prefer tradition and resist change.
-
Conscientiousness: Involves thoughtfulness, organization, and goal-oriented behavior. Highly conscientious individuals are detail-oriented and mindful of deadlines, while those with low conscientiousness may procrastinate and lack organization.
-
Extraversion: Defined by sociability, assertiveness, and emotional expressiveness; high extraverts thrive in social settings and gain energy from interaction. Low extraverts, or introverts, prefer solitude and may find socializing draining.
-
Agreeableness: Includes trust, kindness, and cooperation; high scorers are empathetic and enjoy helping others, while low scorers may exhibit competitive or manipulative behaviors.
-
Neuroticism: Characterized by emotional instability, mood swings, and anxiety; high neurotic individuals experience stress and worry frequently. In contrast, low neurotic individuals are emotionally resilient and stable.
