The Basics of Personality
I know there is no one size fits all approach to coaching or parenting. This is why yesterday I started doing some research on the basics of personality. It’s much easier to be an effective parent or coach when you can tailor your approach to fit a child’s unique personality.
There are a wide variety of explanations for personality in the field of psychology. At is core, however, personality is simply the characterization of an individual’s similarities and differences with others.
Over the year’s psychologist have developed many models to categorize these similarities and differences between people. Over the next few days I’m going to spend some time going through one of these models. My goal is to identify the basic categories of personality and identify the best way to motivate individuals who possess a particular personality trait.
