What is Personality?
Noble or mean, upright or cunning, proud or inferior, open or introverted......
Is that right? All right, but not general.
Imagine that we draw a person on a piece of paper and draw a grid on the paper horizontally and vertically, like the one below.
Man is made up of such a grid, and each grid can be given a name: noble, mean, crybaby, optimistic, open, free, ......
We use all the words of human language to describe a person. Why do we describe him this way, and what is the basis for it? We based on what he said, what he did, the details of what he ate and drank, who his parents were, where he was born, what his education and his experience, and our experience plus the art of knowing people passed down from our ancestors, and so on. So, we feel like he's such a person.
Well, well, we can lead from this to the definition of personality: the characteristics of the typical psychological and behavioral tendencies formed by the individual under the interaction of heredity and environment.
From this definition, we can conclude that personality, influenced by innate heredity and acquired environment, is a combination of psychology and behavior.
Human beings are a complex system, and our judgment of a person is often a certain side of the personality or the side that we feel is more typical. This leads to thisOne of the 4 characteristics of personality – uniqueness
The uniqueness of personality shows the behaviors and characteristics that are typical of a person. Uniqueness speaks of the uniqueness of an individual. The uniqueness of personality contains two meanings: (1) typicality. It is mainly reflected in the core personality, for example, some people have very personality characteristics, are very outgoing, and like to socialize, which is the typicality of personality. Of course, there are also some people who have no personality characteristics and lack typicality. (2) Differences. No two leaves are the same, and even twins are two separate individuals.
The second of the four characteristics of personality is stability.
Let's imagine that a person who has been gentle and polite for decades, and suddenly one day he gets angry and gets angry because of something, and we say that he has a violent personality, is it appropriate? Clearly inappropriate. We tend to say that he is a very gentle person, and today he doesn't know what is going on and suddenly loses his temper. The stability of personality indicates that only stable psychological qualities can become elements of personality, which refers to the stable psychological and behavioral characteristics that individuals often exhibit.
The third of the four characteristics of personality is integration.
It is said that when Pangu opened the world, the pure qi rose to the sky, the turbid qi sank to the earth, and the turbid two qi were mixed in the world, so later the qi in the body of the human beings was clear and turbid, yin and yang. It's a little far, receive!
In fact, after talking for a long time, it is to show that human beings themselves are a complex system, and there is a bright side and a dark side of personality, which is a complex, pluralistic and dynamic group of personality elements, and different personality elements are organically combined to form an operating system according to certain orders and rules, which is a whole and cannot be disassembled into various parts. If you are united, you are invincible in the world, and if you are divided, you are nothing. Therefore, the personality is unified. Just like what is written in Xiuxian **, there is a primordial god who is integrating physical body and spiritual power.
One more thing, it is a condition of a healthy personality that different personality elements are well matched, otherwise there will be out-of-control behavior. Just like making steamed buns and kneading dough, a certain amount of flour with a certain amount of water will make the noodles almost meaningless. A healthy individual must have the personality characteristics of self-unity, and if the inner unity is disrupted, psychological conflicts will arise and various difficulties in adaptation will arise. Balance, Yin and Yang, Tai Chi Tu, Ah, Close!
The third of the four characteristics of personality is functionality.
What each person eats and does every day, the root of his life trajectory, is his personality. Personality is as small as determining people's eating, drinking, and Lazar, and as big as determining personal destiny.
Not metaphysics!It's metaphysics!Not metaphysics!Say the important thing three times.
What?Are you poor?Are you unhappy?Then go and change, one night thousands of years ago, in front of a bonfire, the sentence "Chen Shengwang!".Chen Shengwang!"The destruction of a large, and almost invincible ** empire. The sentence "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!"."After more than 2,200 years, it still makes people's blood boil and infinite emotion.
Personality is not static, at least before the age of 35, that is, before early adulthood as we say in developmental psychology, it is unstable and extremely moldable, so we say go out more to see, try more, and don't be afraid of wrestling when you're young. Experiences, environments, people we meet, and things we encounter will be like mud and water, pinching into our personality little by little, enriching our personality.
Of course, after adulthood, personality is relatively stable and not immutable, so we must establish a lifelong development concept. It is said on the Internet that Mr. Zong Qinghou is still researching at the age of 76, lifelong learning, lifelong development, and constantly improving himself.
complement, the functionality of the personality. Personality traits are often used to explain the reasons for someone's actions and actions, and an individual's ability to control the environment is also closely related to personality. For example, if my colleague Brother Lin's project is messed up, his leader Brother Qiang will say that it must be Brother Lin's big mouth and the customer who said something that should not be said; Brother Ming next door said that if my little brother Liangliang went, the project would be stable, he knew what to say under what circumstances, he would be able to observe words and colors, and he could control himself. Finally, personality also manifests itself as an inner self-restraint that plays a role in determining a person's fate.
The definition and characteristics of personality are more agreed upon by many schools of personality psychology, and there are many schools of personality psychology, but the core is to help people understand "who I am".
