The concept of human personality can be classified as one of the most vague terms in psychology. Almost every psychologist creates his own theory of personality, and this happens because studying the science of the soul in an abstract way will not work - all ideas must be applied on oneself. It is impossible to answer the question "how to represent the human personality" without having a clear idea of one's own personality. In this regard, all new concepts are first tried on oneself, as a result of which new subtleties are constantly found in understanding the structure of one's own personality. Is it possible to single out something in common in the idea of a person's personality, with which many psychologists would agree?

Step 1
Most agree that individuals are not born. A person is made a person in the full sense of the word, his life path. Indeed, in the process of life, each of us develops his own character, temperament, worldview, abilities, habits, values, priorities, moral qualities and much more. These characteristics are more or less stable in the human psyche, therefore they testify to its peculiarities, uniqueness, which distinguishes this individual from others.
Step 2
Personality is the result of a process of education and self-education. A small child cannot be called a person, since responsibility for his actions is imputed to his parents or educators. If an adult thinks about where he got these or those character traits, facial expressions and gestures, jokes and turns of speech, where ideas and dreams come from, then it turns out that behind each personality trait there is a person. A person who, at some point in his life, was important enough to draw this line. Most often, these people are parents, and in the process of upbringing, the child adopts many qualities from them. But sometimes they are adopted from children in the yard, and in kindergarten, and in many other places.
Step 3
Becoming an adult, a person will no longer remember where these or those features of his personality came from. Most often, people divide them into those that they like and those that they don't. In the process of life, you can correct certain personality traits. And many succeed in this. However, the majority are so accustomed to their self-image that they are not ready to get rid of even the qualities that put a spoke in their wheels every day, do not speak about those that people are proud of. After all, for them it means to stop being themselves.
