I'm taking a personality class here at Stetson and I'm finding it very interesting how many theories are actually out there. I took psychology 101 in my senior year of high school and one of the people we discussed was Erik Erikson. Since then he's been my favorite. As a neo-freudian, he has taken personality to a whole new level. He describes in such detailed vagueness how a human develops from a child to an elderly person near death. And how the experience one goes through in life affects their emotional stability. I find it absolutely intriguing how many types of testing there are for pinpointing small charateristics of one's essence. That is what personality is if I dare to define it. It is the essence of any human being and everyone has different personalities. Some of us have the same charateristics, in fact probably most of us do, and that is why there are several types of personality.
