Knowing Oneself
Who am I?
SELF

• The being, which is the source


of a person’s consciousness

• The agent responsible for an


individual’s thoughts and
actions
Personality
• The set of behaviors, feelings,
thoughts, and motives that
identifies an individual
• The essence of who we are
and is the embodiment of
one’s physical, psychological,
cognitive, affective, and
spiritual self
Personality Based on
Psychologists
“The unique and relatively enduring set of
behaviors, feelings, thoughts, and motives
that characterize an individual”

“A pattern of habits, attitudes, and traits


that determine an individual’s
characteristics, behavior, and traits”
Two Components of Personality

• The uniqueness of an individual’s


thoughts, feelings, and behavior

• Their (thoughts, feelings, and


behavior) being relatively enduring,
or being consistent, over different
situations and over time
A Real-life Situation of the
Two Components of Personality
at Work

A person who is considered as “friendly”.


This person’s uniqueness is manifested in his/her own
brand of showing friendliness: a sunny disposition, a readiness to
give advice when needed, and generosity to those in need.

In terms of being consistent, as an adolescent, this


friendly individual develops friendships among his/her peers. Upon
entering adulthood, he/she is perceived by co-workers and peers
to still be his/her old friendly self as when he/she was in high
school.
The Interplay of Nature,
Nurture and Personality
Example of How Both Nature and
Nurture Affect Personality

Asians exhibit strong “interpersonal relatedness”


or how their behavior impacts relationships,
compared to Westerners who look at their
behavior and its impact on their personal goals.

For example, an Asian who is pursuing a career by


migrating to another country will always consider
how this will affect his family and social ties at
home. A Westerner, on the other hand, will see
working overseas as a career move that will
enhance career growth.
