What does personality mean?

       Personality is a term that has many general meanings. Sometimes the word refers to the ability to get along well socially. For example, we speak of glamour courses designed to give a person “more personality”. The term also may refer to the most striking impression that an individual makes on other people.

       Personality is an area of study that deals with complex human behavior, including actions, emotions, and cognitive processes. Personality psychologists study the patterns of behavior that make individuals different from one another. They try to learn how these patterns develop, how they are organized, and how they change.

       For hundreds of years, people have tried to group the vast differences among human beings into simple units. Some of the resulting groupings divide people into personality types based on certain characteristics. The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates divided individuals into such types as sanguine (cheerful) and melancholic (depressed). He attributed their behavioral differences to a predominance of one of the body fluids. For example, a person was cheerful if blood (sanguine) was the dominant influence on his or her behavior.

Carl Jung (1875 – 1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist who had a lasting influence on psychology and society. He studied medicine at the University of Basel from 1894 to 1900, specializing in

psychiatric medicine. Jung developed ideas about personality types which still interest and influence people today. He identified two types which he called introverts and extroverts.

       Introvert usually means a shy, unsociable person. Introverts are more interested in their own thoughts and feelings than in the world around them, and extroverts are the reverse. Jung defined introversion as a turning of mental interests away from people and events of the outer world to the inner world of one’s own thoughts. He believed that in a normal person, introversion is balanced by extroversion. But in an introvert, the tendency toward introversion is greater than toward extroversion.

       Extrovert usually means a sociable person who makes friends easily. Extroverts seem to like other people. It is easy for them to form close relationships. They enjoy the

excitement of crowds. They tend to be assertive, self-confident, and are often leaders in groups.

They are energetic and lead busy lives. In general, they are talkative, adventurous and sociable. As a result, extroverts are more interested in what is going on around them than in their own thoughts and feelings.

       Jung’s influence on our society and culture has been enormous. Two well-known tests (Myers- Briggs and David Keirsey) are based on his theory of personality types. His ideas have influenced writers as well as film-makers like Fellini and Kubrick. Jung’s ideas have even influenced video games and rock music groups. There is still great interest in his theories on the interpretations of dreams.

The term “personality” refers to the ability to get along well socially.
