Hi, my dear "cool Manu"!.!.!.
Well!.!.!. I can't go to the extent that Carl-Gustav Jung (great german Analyst) goes, but I believe that a personality has several aspects !!!Mainly through inheritance -but: also through!.!.!."environment & exposure" one develops his/her personality !!! Most of your character-traits you aquire through the genes, but the "environment" can "contribute" certain "aspects" as well!.!.!.!.
With me for instance!.!.!.I have been exposed to the "american lifestyle", which has significantly "impressed" me to the extent, that now I have my difficulties "adjusting" to the german "way-of-life" !.!.!.!.(with strict rules & regulations) I don't wish to comply anymore due to the fact that in the US life was much more "care-free" ! The US-environment has definately contributed to my personality!.!.!.!.
Bevor I end up with a "thesis" on personality & it's aspects, I give someone else an opportunity to comment on the subject & leave you with my best wishes for the future with greetings from Germany!.!.!.!. Annette***Www@QuestionHome@Com

Almost everyday we describe and assess the personalities of the people around us!. Whether we realize it or not, these daily musings on how and why people behave as they do are similar to what personality psychologists do!.

While our informal assessments of personality tend to focus more on individuals, personality psychologists instead use conceptions of personality that can apply to everyone!. Personality research has led to the development of a number of theories that help explain how and why certain personality traits develop!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The psychologist Jung identified 'Typologies' that (as far as I have seen) can be applied to every human being!.
Obviously there are minor variations in our character caused by our experiences and choices, but our base character remains the same (usually) for all our lives!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Personality is a set of acts that we have learned in order to protect the real self, much like some animals, especially birds and fish, adopt in order to appear larger so as to scare predators away!. It is false compared to the real self!. Sometimes this real self is called essence!. Unfortunately humans start to believe their own fabrications and lose contact with who they really are and even what they truly want!.
The result is usually that they are not happy with what they get!.

Personality is what you can see!. Since you can't see me, you don't know what is my personality!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
