I was just thinking, how people are different from each other. How some people are smart, some aren't, some are charismatic and so on and so forth. Ever since god-knows-when, people have came up with tons of measures or tests to sort each and everyone into different character groups. Ranging from astrological readings to personality tests.
But even so, it is still impossible to find two persons with equal or identical personalities. Because of these differences, we are able to define ourselves as who we really are. If so, how then does the personality tests actually work?
To be honest, i think about these stuff quite a bit. I think about how people of the same personality types can actually be different. So i came up with this theory(to be taken with a pinch of salt) that a person's personality traits can be grouped into primary traits and secondary traits. Primary traits include things like, how a person perceives stuff, how he or she makes decisions, and so on and so forth. Secondary traits, on the other hand, is a combination of both the primary traits and a person's likes and dislikes. Generosity for example, is because a person likes to make people happy and from his/her primary trait decide that being generous is a way to do it. So, two persons in the same personality group may have the same primary traits but absolutely different secondary traits.
All these are just some food for thought. And feel free to voice your opinions on my tagboard if you have any. ^^.
