Discussion Personality is an important field of study in psychology. Howdo you define personality? Why are psych dogists interested in personality development? It is statedin the textbook that personality, has varying definitions depending on who they talk to no personality theorist agrees on what it means. Despite that, the text gives this chafinition "consistent behavior patterns and intrapersonal processes originating within the individual." (Burger, 2019) Personality has a vastness that is hardto cheline, whichis why many cannot agree ona singlechinition Some thinkof it as subconscious behavior aruncansaous habits, andsome look at social models and leaming history, while another may thinkof it as thought processes ar argenizational patterns. (Burger, 2019) I think it is a safe assumptionto say it Is at least anintangible but essential mechanismof our existence. It is not evenrestrictedto humans (technically weare) animals candisplay personality at times as well.

Withthe ISAcombination, I was matched with 4 possible jobs Clinical psychologist, naturopathic physician, neuropsychologist, andpsychiatrist. "This was very amusing to me because it confimed thet switchingmynaja to dincal counselingpsychology was the best couse of action I could have taken towards my self-fulfillment. The particular place I took this assessment even gave the "brightest outlook" basedonmy scores which was the dinical psychologist. knowing howand why for personality canmake a difference insomeone's life, as simple as an assessment to help future stewards figure out their place in the world instead of falling into granstance andhaving a career they hate.
