Zborowski, Hartmann, Newsom, and Banar’s article The Hartmann Boundary (2004) Questionnaire: Two Studies Examining Personality Correlates and Interpersonal Behavior is based off of two different studies. The first study examined if there were any relationships between “thick” and “thin” boundaries as defined by the Hartmann Boundary Questionnaire and dependency, interpersonal behaviors, the effect of particular traits and object relations (p. 49). The second study extended the research of the first study and added the examination of trait anxiety, curiosity, and anger. The second study also added an interview portion of the research to the study. The interviewer was asking questions to further determine the subject’s dependency, interpersonal behavior, trait affect and object relations along with curiosity, anger, and trait anxiety but also, at the end of each interview, the interviewer rated each subject on how open and likeable the subject was and also how comfortable the interviewer felt during the interview (Zborowski et al., 2004 p.49). In addition to the relationship of bound...
In the article “Dealing with People”, Greg McGrew explains that different types of personality to solve the problems of people’s relationship in our society. He classifies people by four types that are dominants, expressives, analyticals, and amiables. Greg begins with dominants who are forceful, confident, sociable, outgoing, and confrontational tend to threat their mental. Secondly, he describes expressives who are also quite forceful and reluctant to reject a suggestion due to concern about relationship. Talking with them is good method of treating expressive people. Then, he points out that analytical people deliberate to get the right answer. Even though they are superior in making decision, they need time to think how to answer the question.
The Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test certainly brought to light many unseen aspects towards my personal character traits and leadership style at work and at home (2015). Whether I am interacting with members from my personal or professional life, my INTJ personality type dominates my perception for good or ill. Strengths and weaknesses abound in any of the sixteen personalities designated by the Jung/Myers-Briggs Personality Test. My self-confidence and perfectionist attitude can be attributed to my identified type. As Marina Heiss explains, a degree of mental independence from authority, convention, and sentiment can also be reached (2015). Throughout this assignment I have grasped a few of the reasons on why I have tendency/preference to
The Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation Theory was created by William Schutz. He has a vast amount of research that demonstrates the way we attempt to meet our needs for inclusion, control, and affection through friendships, work, and romantic relationships. Inclusion has to do with the varying degrees to which we all need to establish and maintain a feeling of mutual interest with other people. Shutz’s theory, Fundamental Interpersonal
The Big Five Personality Test provided an interesting account of my personality. Although the majority of the results were accurate, I was surprised by two of the outcomes. According to this test, I am a closed-minded, unmethodical, social butterfly that is well-mannered towards others and composed under pressure (John, 2009). First, the results were completely accurate as I am extremely extroverted. I never meet a stranger, and I carry on conversations with anyone. From the custodian, to the cashier, to a random person on the street, it gives me a great sense of fulfillment to engage in dialogue with others from all walks of life. Second, I agree that I am polite and supportive, especially with family and friends. Overall, I try to always
After Allport, came along two psychologists, Raymond Cattell and Hans Eysenck, who each formulated their own theories regarding traits. Their theories have been the subjects of considerable research in the world of psychology. Cattell seemed to focus on far too many traits, while Eysenck seemed to focus on too few. As a result, psychologists have combined the two theories to make one satisfactory theory (Cherry), called “The Big Five Factors” (Myers). They are: conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness, and extraversion. These five factors merge to create the human personality (Cherry). Where people fall into these factors s...

Trait theory, or the concept that personality traits are strong, independent predictors of behavior, provides an incomplete picture of human behavior, thought, and emotion. The most encompassing approach to understanding behavioral implications is by approaching them from a person-situation interaction perspective. Bowers (1973) reported that while 13% of the variance in predicting behavior is due to the person (i.e., traits) and 10% of the variance is due to the situation, 21% of the variance is accounted for by the person-situation interaction; the interaction is more predictive than either one alone. Different situations impact different people differently for several reasons, including the fact that strong traits may not be expressed in
According to Lieb, Zanarini, Schmahl, Linehan, and Bohus (2004) study borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a “mental disorder with a characteristic pervasive in affect regulation, impulse control, interpersonal relationships, and self-image” (pg. 453). The study (2004) concluded that the cause of borderline personality disorder is complex but that genetic factors and advers...

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is another model that attempts to inventory personality traits. Isabel Briggs Myers created the MBTI based on psychologist Carl Jung’s work regarding psychological types. Myers developed the model to “help people understand themselves and each other so they could find work that matches their personality.” (Phillips & Gully, 2014) Four scales are explored with the MBTI. The first scale assesses extroversion/introversion; the same idea described in the first dimension of the Big Five. The second scale identifies sensing or intuitive individuals. Sensing individuals are detail and fact oriented when focusing on information, whereas intuitive people interpret and add meaning to information. The third scale classifies

These are Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness to Experience (Soto & John, 2012). This ranged from early adulthood through middle age (Soto & John, 2012). One of the reasons for this study is to examine whether the Big Five domains can summarize personality attributes, or do the facets, which are sub-domains capture different age trends (Soto & John, 2012). The researchers indicated the Big Five domains do not secure all of the personality behaviors from early adulthood through middle age (Soto & John, 2012). Some facets were more prevalent than others. An example would be Openness to Actions showed that a facet of Adventurousness dropped with age, but Intellectualism and Idealism do not drop (Soto & John, 2012). This type of study can take up to 40 years to get the results, however, with the new techniques of the longitudinal studies this can be done in 4 to 12 Years (Soto & John, 2012). This helps, because of not being in different time periods that is so long and different. They concluded the facets with the Big Five domains are as important as the Big Five factors in verifying personality peculiarities. More studies would need to be performed with the sub-facets since they are more of an importance. This would show how the Big Five domains actually do not
