Personalities

Personalities refer to the individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. These traits are often stable across various situations and form a consistent way in which a person interacts with the world around them. Personalities can be influenced by a combination of genetic factors, environmental conditions, and life experiences.

In psychology, personality is commonly assessed using theories and frameworks that categorize traits, such as the Big Five personality traits (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism) or various personality typologies. Personalities can significantly impact relationships, career choices, and overall life satisfaction, as they shape how individuals perceive and respond to their surroundings.
