The Depths of Personality: It's More Than Just Traits!


Listen Later

How many times in a day do you hear people refer to someone's 'personality'?  Or use 'personality' as an excuse for...anything.  While personality is an often cited reason for all sorts of things (mostly problems), it is often misused and misunderstood.  Listen as Casey and Tim break down their conceptualization of personality, which goes beyond just traits. 

Opening quote: "If it wasn't for the coffee, I'd have no identifiable personality whatsoever." 
-David Letterman

Personality:  The enduring and unique structural constellation of one’s characteristics, styles, and traits which asynchronously interact with the socio-circumstantial environment to manifest in varying behavior.
