1.2 Discussion. What Is Personality?

Getting Started

Let’s start with a commonly accepted definition of personality: “It describes a person’s usual pattern of behavior, feelings and thoughts.” While that brief description gives you a starting point, there isn’t much life in it. That’s where this discussion picks up. You get a chance to roll up your virtual sleeves and interact with fellow classmate to explore your own conceptions of personality as you observe it in other people as well as identify core personality traits in yourself. As you share these observations and insights, you will also have the privilege of learning about the personality traits of others in the course.

Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:

· Communicate self-understanding of personality traits.
