PERSONALITY
In the society we live in, people
have different personalities and it is the duty of each one of us to learn to
accommodate different personalities so that we are able to live with each other
in harmony. Accept people they way they
are and don’t try to change them to suit your personality, they can only change
if they want to.
Personality is what distinguishes
one person from another; it is a consistent behavior across situations over
time, it is an outward expression of ourselves, which may or may not be the
same as our character depending on how genuine we are. It is the face we show to others. Try to be flexible and learn to accommodate
others. Know your personality trait and
accept who you are.
How Personality is influenced
Personality can be heredity in
the sense that it could be in your genes
Personality can be shaped
depending on the environment you are in.
This simply means that experience can shape and alter your personality.
Personality is also influenced by
culture. The culture that you are
exposed to can influence your personality
TEMPERAMENTS
I know people mistake personality
for temperaments but the difference is that personality can change with time
unlike temperaments.
Be who you are and don’t force
people to be like you. If someone is
very sociable and talks a lot, don’t try to force him/her not to talk because
that is who they are; they can only pretend while around you but deep inside
that is their nature and you can’t change it.
Be who you are, therefore do not
pretend to please someone.
Temperament is the combination of
inborn traits that subconsciously affects a person’s behavior. Therefore you should be yourself and be proud
of who you are.
Types of temperaments
This topic is a bit wider,
therefore we are only going to highlight the key issues then from there you can
get to learn more to get to know for example if you are an extrovert what kind
of extrovert are you; is it sanguine or choleric and if introvert- are you a
melancholic or phlegmatic.
Introverts – They are those
people who are very reserved, calm and don’t talk much
Extroverts - They are very
sociable and talk a lot
CHARACTER
Character is the real you. It is the result of your natural temperament
modified by childhood training, education, beliefs, principles, basic attitudes
and motivations. It is actually made up
of the mind, emotions and will.
Personality and temperament as
well can help you identify your self concept.
It is good to know that no temperament/personality is superior to the
other; we are all suited for different things and the most important thing is
to learn and accept others the way they are.
