personality profiling |
There are many definitions of personality. If we
take the Wikipedia definition that: ‘In psychology, personality
describes the character of emotion, thought, and behaviour patterns unique
to a person. There are several theoretical perspectives on personality in
psychology, which involve different ideas about the relationship between
personality and other psychological constructs, as well as different
theories about the way personality develops.’ we can immediately see
that the word ‘personality’ is probably construed in a variety of ways
depending on the definitions held by an individual.
