| | We have a personality in the sense that we have a consistent pattern of behavior. | | | One of the most popular personality tests in the world is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (M.B.T.I.), a psychological-assessment system based on Carl Jung's notion that people make sense of the world through a series of psychological frames. | | | On top of that, in his schema we have another personality: it's the conscious identity that we create for ourselves with the choices we make, the stories we tell about ourselves, and the formal reasons we come up with to explain our motives and feelings. |

| | Lutsky, Personality Syllabus |
| | These considerations suggest that the study of personality psychology may not only challenge our knowledge of personality but also our comfort with the means of knowing personality upon which we typically depend. | | | My claim is that personality psychology is a manifestation of a critical approach to knowing; it is not the ultimate embodiment of that approach. | | | Although this may limit what we may come to know about personality in a scientific way--a choice that we must not fail to acknowledge--it may offer a firmer foundation for our understandings in those domains that we are able to explore. |

| | Just as personality theories can be organized in terms of their level of explanation and level of generality, so can studies of individual differences be further organized along two dimensions: cognitive vs. affective-temperamental and descriptive vs. causal-explanation. | | | In partial agreement with the dichotomization of affect into positive and negative systems are studies of the lateralization of emotionality that suggest an association between left frontal activation and approach-related positive affect and right frontal activation and inhibitory or withdrawal related behavior and negative affect (Davidson 1992, 1993a, in press). | | | This social psychological emphasis upon contextual priming of memories relates to the personality concern with individual differences in cognitive structures. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Personality |
| | According to James, personality is a thing of the moment, consisting in the thought of the moment: "The passing thought is itself the thinker". | | | A man's personality is that of which he has cognizance under the concept of "self". | | | Many modern schools of philosophy hold that personality is constituted not by any underlying reality which self-consciousness reveals to us, but by the self-consciousness itself or by intellectual operations, Locke held that personality is determined and constituted by identity of consciousness. |

| | Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) / Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) / Ego States / Personality Disorders / ... |
| | Personality disorders have their essential basis in defending ego satisfaction and protecting it from interpersonal threat, so you will benefit much to learn, as the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan taught, that “I” is an illusion. | | | The concept of personality, therefore, although a common term in psychology, really doesn’t mean much because any person is really composed of many diverse, fragmentary—and generally illusory—images of “self.” In the midst of such chaos, psychology can’t heal a personality so much as help a person recognize all these illusions. | | | Therefore, a person’s behavior in one situation does not “prove” anything about the rest of his or her life. |

| | Personality Type Information |
| | The theory of Personality Types contends that each of us has a natural preference which falls into one category or the other in each of these four areas, and that our native Personality Type indicates how we are likely to deal with different situations that life presents, and in which environments we are most comfortable. | | | Learning and applying the theories of personality type can be a powerful and rewarding experience, if it is used as a tool for discovery, rather than as a method for putting people into boxes, or as an excuse for behavior. | | | The sixteen personality types which we use in our assessment are based on the well-known research of Carl Jung, Katharine C. Briggs, and Isabel Briggs Myers. |

| | A cult of personality is a political institution in which a country's leader encourages praise of himself and his deeds to such a degree that this praise affects nearly every facet of the country's culture. | | | Comrades, the cult of the individual acquired such monstrous size chiefly because Stalin himself, using all conceivable methods, supported the glorification of his own person. | | | However, the term cult of personality is often applied by analogy to refer to adulation of non-political leaders. |
