As I 've grown as a woman, I have come to realize that my personality characteristics cause me to act a certain way, whether I am around my peers, family, or whether it is the environment that I am in. Some of my characteristics can either hurt or help me, depending on the situation. When I was younger, I used to mimic others ' personalities. I believe I did that because I was trying to find my own match. I guess you could call that me being a follower, but eventually I adapted my own personality through experiences and I believe it fits me very well. I believe some personality characteristics I was born with or molded into having because of my environment. There is work that still needs to be done because I believe I am not fully the person …show more content…
I believe in being in a peaceful environment, being optimistic about life, and people would describe me as generous considerate, helpful ,kind, trusting and trustworthy, and willing to compromise their interests with others. All of these characteristics are true and can be positive and negative, depending on the situation. I tend to always get asked for advice. People always come to me with their problems and they trust that I can keep their secrets or help them solve their problems. I love having that aspect of agreeableness because it makes me feel like I 'm helping people and making the world a bit greater. I also tend to get stuck doing tasks and favors that I agree upon because I don’t want to hurt anyone 's feelings or upset someone. This could mean that people will think that I 'm a push over and that they can just run over me all the time. In clinical child psychology, this can be a problem because my patients will be the ones controlling the conversation and if I 'm always trying to not upset them, they will not have a proper diagnosis which means I didn’t help them many. I will work on changing how high I am in agreeableness by being able to turn it on and off in certain situations. I will have to use force and say no to people for a while although it may be hard and I believe eventually, it will become natural. I 'm not saying I do not want this trait at all, but I would like to be able to manage
influences? Are our personality traits inborn, or are we intelligent, deviant, sensitive, creative, or any other of our little "uniquenesses" because of the way we were raised? Is your personality the result of traits you inherited or has it been shaped by your life experiences? David was born a male and no matter how much his parents and doctors tried to convince him that he is a girl he still rebelled and acted like a boy. Which brings up the question, If the sex reassignment of Brenda Reimer had been successful, would the book have been titled, "As Nurture Made Her"?
Psychologists defined personality as that make people uniquely themselves, to be all-inclusive characteristics, helped people appreciate the challenging environment of each individual Cervone & Pervin (2013). Beginning with, individuals that are unnatural by unconscious traits, push or pull into instant awareness. For example, the things people do to others that normally parents would do to their children without identifying whether they are encouraged by their aspiration to bear a resemblance to their parents. Following, ego forces people that are peculiar that provide a sense of personality or self. For example, we often strive to maintain a logic of comprehensive knowledge and reliability in one behavior. Next, biologically a person with a distinctive physiological, temperamental,
In the words of Soren Kierkegaard: “Personality is only ripe when a man has made the truth his own.” There are many different people in the world. Everyone has a different personality that makes him/her unique. The tenth grade class at Presbyterian Christian School took an academic test and three personality test to discover potential future careers. ACT Incorporated developed the PLAN to show our estimated ACT score, and the possible careers we would do the best in. We also took three personality tests to discover our true personality. KRB Consulting Company made a test where we rate ourselves according the adjectives that best describe us. The second test we took was “The Colors of Careers”, given to us by the assistant to the president of Jones County Junior College, Gwen Magee. The final test we took was the “Jung Typology Test”. The purpose of this paper is to discover the differences in our personalities and the careers that follow our certain personality.
Every single individual has a personality; it is the very quintessence of human existence. Personality drives our interactions with others, our desires – conscious and unconscious, our perceived needs, and to a certain extent, even our actions. Psychodynamic approaches to personality are focused on the belief that we have virtually no control over our own personality, that it is primarily controlled by unconscious powers. Social cognitive approaches to personality centers around the belief that we still have little to no control over our own personality, and that the cognitive influence, that is to say thoughts, feelings, expectations and values – along with the observation of others behavior is the primary influence on personality. These two approaches to personality are so radically different, and yet both have their own merits – they are two of many, and nobody is quite sure what the truth is.
A great deal of personality comes from within us. It has to do with likes and dislikes, and how we choose to react to daily things. For example, I have to write a paper. Is that good or bad? Depends on if I like writing papers or not.

Psychology covers a huge field and one interesting aspect of it is personality. Personality by itself involves various issues. Some aspects are Psychoanalytic, Ego, Biological, Behaviorist, Cognitive, Trait, and Humanistic. Different types of behaviors are amazing to learn about, mainly the behavior therapy, collective behavior, crime and punishment, and Social behavior and peer acceptance in children. I chose Behaviorism over the other aspects because I believe behavior determines human personality and is very interesting. You can tell what one is by his behavior, and one behaves according to what place he has in society. By doing this paper on Behavior, I hope to get a better understanding of, if behavior develops a personality or if personality guides behavior. I also see behaviorism helping me in the future with my personal and professional career by understanding human personality and behavior better than I do. No matter what your major is, if you can determine one's personality by his behavior you can really get your work done from that person and understand the better than you would otherwise. This person could be your employee or your employer. Behavior Therapy Behavior therapy is the application of experimentally derived principles of learning to the treatment of psychological disorders. The concept derives primarily from work of Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov. Behavior-therapy techniques differ from psychiatric methods, particularly psychoanalysis, in that they are predominately symptom (behavior) oriented and shows little or no concern for unconscious processes, achieving new insight, or effecting fundamental personality change. The U.S. psychologist B.F. Skinner, who worked with mental patients in a Massachusetts State hospital, popularized behavior therapy. From his work in animal learning, Skinner found that the establishment and extinction of responses can be determined by the way reinforces, or rewards, are given. The pattern of reward giving, both in time and frequency, is known as a schedule of reinforcement. The gradual change in behavior in approximation of the desired result is known as shaping. More recent developments in behavior therapy emphasize the adaptive nature of cognitive processes. Behavior-therapy techniques have been applied with some success to such disturbances as enuresis (bed-wetting), tics, phobias, stutteri...

There is nothing better than having good characteristics. Everyone has different kinds of characteristics. Understanding our characteristics is extremely useful. It helps us to avoid the bad ones and to develop the good ones. We can take active steps to become the person we want to be, and we can make positive changes in our characteristics. Most of characteristics can be learned with practice. Because nobody likes to be around a person who has bad characteristics, it can affect our daily life and friendships.

Characteristics a feature or quality belonging to a person, place or thing and serving to identify it.

They think about the company interest prior their self-interest. In a workplace with full of competition, it can refresh to be around people who are easy to get along with. Agreeableness may be seen as a coin which has two face sides. Some people may admire my kind heart intention. But other would think I am the one who always avoids confrontation which can reflect adversely. But I think there would be some people like me in an organization who believe in agreeableness, which avoids arguments, harsh statements and thinks for the group rather than being selfish.
