"Personality is an abstraction used to explain consistency and coherency in an individuals' pattern of affects, cognitions, desires and behaviors" (Revelle, n.d). According to Feist and Feist,"personality is a pattern of relatively permanent traits and unique characteristics that give both consistency and individuality to a person's behavior. Sigmund Freud was one who developed his theory in the modern psychology. Psychoanalytic was his theory and consists on the human psyche. The id, the ego and the superego were the beginning basics. The scientists who continued with this investigation were Erich Fromm, Carl Jung, and Erik Erikson. Another theory is Phenomenological. It says that people are inclined toward goodness and fulfilling ones potential. Abraham Maslow was the scientist who reviewed this theory. Behaviorist, another theory says that personality is when the individual interacts with the environment. This theory observes and measures the behavior of the individual. It does not accept theories that take the feelings of the individual or his internal thoughts into consideration. .
Each individual's personality development can be affected by many factors within his lifetime. Biological processes, intrapersonal conflicts, as unconscious and conscious, or even social forces can be part of these factors. These influences help shape and mold the personality throughout time; not overnight.
