Personal Development
IN PSYCHOLOGY,
Personality refers to the set of behaviors, feelings,
thoughts and motives that identifies an individual. It is
the essence of who we are and is the embodiment of
one’s physical, psychological, cognitive, affective and
spiritual self.
ABCD PERSONALITY TYPES:
The idea behind the ABCD personality types was
first introduced by cardiologists Meyer Friedman and
Ray Rosenman in the 1950s. It initially included Type
A and Type B types but has since been expanded to
include types C and D. It categorizes individuals into
four distinct personality types based on their
behavior, attitudes, and responses to stress.
TYPE A PERSONALITY
People with a Type A personality are typically
competitive, achievement-oriented, ambitious, and
perfectionists. They are also more prone to
experiencing stress and may be impatient, easily
angered, and have a sense of time urgency.
TYPE B PERSONALITY
People with a Type B personality are typically more
relaxed, laid-back, and easy-going. They are less likely
to experience stress and may be more patient,
creative, and imaginative.
TYPE C PERSONALITY:
People with a Type C personality tend to be
analytical, detail-oriented, and focused on accuracy.
They are often introverted and strongly desire order,
logic, and precision. They are also more prone to
experiencing emotional stress.
TYPE D PERSONALITY:
People with a Type D personality are typically
anxious, worried, and have a negative outlook. They
are also introverted and tend to keep their
emotions to themselves.
PERSONALITY IS INFLUENCED BY:
NATURE NURTURE
PERSONALITY
Personality is influenced by both Nature (heredity or
genetic make-up) and Nurture (environment). There is
no single gene that creates a trait. It is always a complex
combination of genes, environmental exposure and
experiences, and cultural backgrounds.
