PERSONALITY



To social scientists, personality is the sum total
of behaviors, attitudes, beliefs, and values that
are characteristic of an individual.
Our personality traits determine how we adjust
to our environment and how we react in specific
situations.
No two individuals have the same personalities.
Each individual has his or her own way of
interacting with other people and with his or her
social environment.
4 basic personality types
1.) Melancholic ( Emotional ) : A person who
is a thoughtful thinker. Such people are
often very kind and considerate . A
melancholic person is highly creative and
are the perfectionist being very particular
about what they want and how they want
so they get dissatisfied with their
performance if the results are
unsatisfactory.

leader abilities, and confident . However they can be

doer. They have a lot of ambition, energy,

generally self-content and kind. They are
very consistent, relaxed, rational, curious,

many friends. However the phlegmatic is
more reliable and compassionate; these
characteristics typically make the
phlegmatic a more dependable friend.

at different rates and to different degrees.

throughout a person’s life, while others undergo
dramatic changes.

and social behavior result from a blending of
heredity and social environmental influences.

greatest influence.

you're competent can greatly boost one's self
esteem and confidence. You can do this by
performing one task everyday that makes you
feel as if you've accomplished something. You
needn't be good at it, nor must it be something
big. Completing a simple crossword puzzle can
be all it takes. Accomplishment is one of the
most important tools for fostering competence.

make a list. When you're feeling down on yourself, take that
list out and read it. This might seem difficult, but once you

a quick sample of some things you can write about yourself * I've got a good sense of humor.

eating healthier and exercising so you can feel better
about your body. If you feel that you're too shy, read up
