A lot of people are born with character traits that they just absolutely adore. These personality traits play a very important role in building and shaping a person’s personality, and even who they will become later on in life. But can a person be born with personality traits that they just absolutely despise? Traits that do not build up, but instead potentially break a person down and dominate over the rest of their personality traits. Just a few single “bad” traits have the potential to destroy everything good a person has worked for. As for me, being a person who is Organized, Inquiring, and Obsessive, I can definitely say making these traits come together and build up my personality is a weekly struggle that will never end.

Whenever I enter my house I immediately start cleaning and organizing my home and consistently clean and organize until it is almost time for bed. In my eyes there is always something in my house or room that needs to be organized, especially my laundry. My laundry is by far the most time consuming organizational chore I can do, I will spend hours just folding my clothes a certain way and size before placing them into my drawers. Hanging my clothes is even more time consuming than just folding clothes, every single item hung in my closet must be hung on a white hanger evenly spaced out from the next, and must be hung by item, size, and color. After spending many hours on that chore alone a person would probably be done for the day but not me because more than likely the list in my planner of things to do is not completely …show more content…
My brain is constantly telling me that I need to spend a lot more time researching and finding out everything I can about the subject at hand. But could this trait possibly be a flaw in me? What if I am supposed to look up information to write a research paper about how after school programs help children stay out of trouble, but my brain is telling me to research a more interesting topic to me like the current rise and history of gang members in Chicago? Then it becomes a problem that I have to learn how to keep control over, but luckily that is just a minor flaw. Being inquiring also has perks too, not only can I know a lot of information about the current topic I may be studying but I also know and research information that others may deem as “useless” information. But in my opinion I think all information I inquire is important and will be put to use in some kind of
I suppose many of us would stumble on the question. In fact, it is really very difficult to define Personality in the real sense. Day and night, we see people all around us. We meet them; we talk to them; we discuss with them and share our feelings with many of them. But in spite of all these we sometimes fail to judge the personality of the person right in front of us.
I am not a super messy person, but I don't necessarily keep my room clean all the time, either. Many a time I have opted to put away my clothes, clean out my binder and my backpack, make my lunch for the next day, and/or take a shower before I get to my homework. Doing all these activities takes a while, and I usually end up doing all of them on nights when I have a lot of homework, or if I have a test the next day. Any type of cleaning or household chore would work, though, such as scrubbing the shower, vacuuming, or dusting.
Personality predispositions can determine levels of extraversion, which determine the levels to which one seeks social support, thus determining positive affect. Similarly, personality predispositions can determine levels of neuroticism that may influence one’s style of coping in the face of both positive and negative external factors which can determine negative affect (Diener, 1996). Happiness, a core aspect of positive subjective wellbeing, involves maintaining a superior level of positive affect in comparison to negative effect, based on specific positive or negative emotions linked to the recent experiences in one’s life (Emmons & Diener, 1985). Positive emotions such as joy and pride must trump negative emotions such as frustration and sadness in the recent past or present in order for an individual to feel happy. Life satisfaction builds on this and is a cognitive valuation of the quality of an individual’s experiences as a sum throughout their entire life (Emmons & Diener, 1985). Individual personality traits have been found to influence the different patterns and levels of life satisfaction, positive and negative affects and simply general, overall happiness (McCrae, 1983).
Looking at my own approach to time management I have noticed that I am well organised and good at prioritising tasks and jobs. When I log onto my computer to start my shift I am sent down numerous jobs, each job is different and has different deadlines for attendance and completion. I plan my day based around the date and time deadlines of the jobs and also the locations of the jobs. I then schedule the most effective order of completing the jobs, putting high priority jobs at the top of my list and grouping sites that are geographically close to each other. By effectively planning my day I keep a focused attitude towards my work and I have time to think about tasks and situations, rather tha...
In today's fast paced world often times we don’t realize how we go through life at full speed never slowing down to just stop and take a breath. Always trying to get to the next appointment, teachers meeting, and get togethers with friends and family; time is fleeting. For the people out there that have no problem with organizing their life I applaud you. Being able to manage everything without missing a beat is something I wish I was accomplished at. But my outside obligations to work, and family are constantly getting in the way of my schooling.
There are many types of diverse people classified under various categories. Some people have different types of personalities. They could be classified as extremely manipulative, others as impulsive, and some may not show anything on the outside and have wonderful social skills. These categories help in the understanding of humans. This study is called Psychology and there are many different subfields in this diverse study of the people around us. One subfield that is particularly interesting is personality psychology. Personality psychology is a branch of psychology that studies personality and its variation between individuals.
Type A Personality or Type A Behavior Pattern (TABP) include typical responses of competitiveness, time urgency, and hostility. Type A’s normally strive towards a goal without feeling a sense of joy in their efforts or accomplishments. They also seem to be in a constant struggle against the clock and become impatient with any delays and unproductive time. Type A’s also tend to see the worse in others and display anger, envy and lack of compassion (McLeod, 2017).
The Five-Factor Model of Personality is a system used in order to describe an individual’s personality traits. By requiring said individual to answer a series of questions, this test is able to decipher the traits that are most likely evident within their life. The Five-Factor Model of Personality test gives the test subject a series of situational options. Using the subject’s responses, psychologist match the answers to the personality in which best relates. A highly accurate description of ones’ personality can be easily configured by using the Five-Factor Model of Personality by testing either high or low in the following areas; openness to experience, extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and neuroticism.

What do you think of when you hear the word personality? Have you ever taken a personality test? What did you think of it, was it accurate?

Personality can affect all different aspects of one’s life. There are links connecting personality to academic and occupational success and social relationships. Health can even be affected by personality because immunity can be altered by personality traits like sociability, optimism, and carelessness. Personality determines the way social interactions occur and when social relationships are determined by how the interactions occur personality can really affect the way one builds social relationships. Just like social relationships, academic and occupational success are affected by personality traits like carelessness, mastery, and agreeableness.
Personality takes many shapes and forms and is affected by many factors. My understanding of personality is simply a genetic and environmentally determined set of psychological traits that influence our reactions in the world around us. Genetic because our parents possess a certain set of psychological personality traits that we tend to have in common with them so therefore in my opinion there are heritable personality traits. Personality is environmental because we each have our own separate experiences in the world and these experiences help form our unique personality. Neo-Freudians such as Jung have given us a wide array of ideas of how they believe personality is developed and formatted. Jung in particular has a very interesting

Personality involves a blend of characteristics that make one unique. In reviewing personality, we consider the influence of the interactions that one is engaged in, the nature or the environment of one's upbringing and genetics. The characteristic traits may change over time while some of them becoming a lasting part of a person’s personality. In this essay will analyze the theories that relate to the character and the various stages that children undergo during development. We will use the same theories and developmental stages in analysis my progress from childhood up to date.
