Psychological characteristics of the individual involves a fairly broad coverage of the criteria, from which you can talk about the characteristics of a person. Throughout the world, we can not find two people who will be similar in all respects - each one of us is unique and different from all others.
General characteristics of the personality
Characteristics of personality in psychology encompass all variants of essential features that manifest themselves regularly. So, for example, each person can accidentally forget the necessary information, but not everyone is forgetful in general. Single situations do not indicate the existence of a character trait . Characteristics of conflicting personalities will contain such features as temper and irritability, but this does not mean that every person who is capable of being angry with another will be a conflict person.
It is worth noting that all the qualities a person receives as he accumulates life experience. They can change over a lifetime, rather than being a constant. Abilities, interests, character - all this can change with the course of life. As long as the personality exists, it develops and changes. It is believed that none of the personality traits can not be congenital - they are all acquired during life. At birth, a person is endowed with only physiological characteristics, which include the work of the sense organs, the nervous system and the brain, and their features are the makings of character development.
Characteristics of the creative personality: interests and inclinations
Everyone is creative in one way or another, but this is more pronounced in some, and weaker in others. Depending on the area in which human interests lie, one can name the general orientation of the individual.
Interest - is the desire to pay attention to a certain object regularly, the tendency and the desire to get acquainted with the information on it. So, for example, a person who is interested in cinema will tend to visit the cinema more often, know the names of popular actors, and even in conversations not about cinema, such a person will allocate information that falls into his area of interest.
Addiction is the desire to engage in certain activities. For example, a person who is interested in guitar will listen to great guitarists, watch concerts, etc. A person who has a penchant for guitar will learn to play, learn the instrument. It is important to note that interest can exist separately from addiction, but sometimes they can connect.
Psychological characteristics of personality: abilities and giftedness
In psychology, abilities are called psychic properties, thanks to which a person is able to successfully perform a specific type of activity (or several). For example, visual memory is an important ability for an artist, and emotional memory is for the creativity of a poet.
If a person has a set of makings that are necessary for the development of ability, this is called giftedness.
Psychological characteristics of personality: temperament
It is accepted to distinguish four basic types of temperament: melancholic, sanguine, choleric and phlegmatic:
- Choleric is a fast, quick-tempered, emotional person.
- Sanguine person is fast, but his feelings are not so strong and change quickly.
- Melancholic is a person who is very worried about each event, but does not seek to express emotions .
- The phlegmatic person is slow, calm, balanced, complex and almost impossible to anger.
In the innumerable combinations of these and other characteristics, the individuality of each person living on Earth is determined.
