Personality

So the last chapter we had to read In psychology was on personality. After reading the chapter it made me think about myself and others and why we are the way we are when it comes to personality.  The book makes it seem like a lot of our personality comes from traits which relates to our behaviors. Which I never though were related to personality. So I ended up taking the personality test which when I got my results I don't believe the personality test really show our true personality. I even had my parents read the results and asked them if what the test said sounded like me. Their answer was NO not at all. Then there was the Big Five which explain substantial proportion of behavior. After reading the five different one they have listed I don't really see myself as anyone of those. I would have to say I'm more of a mix of like two of them which are openness to experience and conscientiousness. These two aren't 100% like me but they do have some quilts that are like me. Well one to the next subject be I carry on to much. I took the chapter 11 quiz and let me tell you that quiz had nothing to do with the chapter at all which sucked! Well at least to me that quiz and what I read didn't relate at all :/
So after all of this is said and done I know have been using this personality study with people I work with or even friends. I can tell that some of peoples personalities have to do with how they were raised or even where they grow up of what they saw growing up. It's kind of weird but I do believe that our behavior has to do with our personality even though before when I first read the chapter i can't see how those two things related  to each other. Pretty cool on how after I have read these chapters in this book I took the things I have learned and use them at work a lot. Reason for this is because I work with the public and it is even difficult to handle some of the people with their crazy and wild behaviors and personalties.  Like when it comes to the people I work with our personalities are so different in ways but in other we are a lot a like. Example some of the ladies I work with are from New York well a lot of them are and the age group is from 66 to 28 and they all have that tough and out spoken  kind of attitude about them. I guess it has to do with where they were raised because they all come from different areas in New York and different back grounds but some of their behaviors are a lot a like its kind of crazy now that I'm looking for these kind of things.
