Jack, I want you to come right here, right now. Jack, I said, Come here. Oh,  yeah. How's it going? Hey, I want to have some fun. Do you want some fun too? Let's have some coffee. Oh, but wait a minute, wait a minute. I need you to help  me to achieve some peace. Here. I just so full well energy. I don't know what to  do, by the way, this is right, that's wrong. Now, look, it's black or white, it's this or it's that, I need time alone, I'll do it your way. I'll do it your way, so that you love  me whatever you need. I'm here personality. Hi, I'm Dr Mark, and here we are  again, looking at another part of psychology as we walk through many chapters  of our textbook and this course about psychology and what it is, and all the  different kinds of things, and now we're up to the chapters on personality. What  is personality? Personality has to do with this. It's an individual's consistent  patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving, and I want to emphasize behaving,  because personality has to do with behavior, as opposed to temperament, which has to do with hard wiring, the hard wiring that God puts in each one of us as far as the choleric, the sanguine, and so that's really the hard wire. We're going to  touch on that here in these videos on personality in this part of the psychology  course. But first of all, we need to differentiate and establish what personality is,  as opposed to what it is not. Personality is the outflow of temperament.  Temperament produces personality. Personality is behavior, how I choose to  behave. For instance, I can choose to behave much more differently than how  I'm wired. For instance, I could put the proverbial mask on, make it look like I'm  happy when I'm really sad, or I can be sad and make put on an act and when  I'm really happy. And you know, those kinds of things. And it also can be  something that we experience when we deal with behavior. Behavior, well, we  look at personality and behavior, we look at another aspect, and that is from  behavior to where the behavior comes from. We look at what's called traits,  personality traits, and so from an individual's consistent pattern of feeling,  thinking and behaving, and of course, the affect and the effect and the effect  being behavior to then what we call traits. Now, traits has to do with this. They  are relatively enduring characteristics that influence our behavior across many  situations. For instance, neuroticism, extroversion, openness, agreeableness, as well as conscientiousness. Good examples of traits, characteristics that  influence our behavior across many situations. So for instance, when I was  acting out there, as I love to do, as you've been following here in the videos, I  love to give you a kind of a role play of how these, these different topics and  subjects play out. And when we look at personality, we are looking at how  someone who is very goal oriented and extroverted and task oriented and driven is saying, I need you here. I'm in control. Come on, Jack, get with the program.  Or Hey group, get with the program. And when you're in ministry, you are  dealing with a lot of people who are rather controlling. Now, there's nothing  wrong with that. It's just how they manage that. And of course, you know that  they're extroverts, they draw energy from people, as opposed to the introverts 

who draw upon they get their energy from inside, and all the world is between  here and here, inside, well, from traits, we then go to trait types. Now, Gordon  Allport is one of the researchers that helped us understand what trait types are  about. He talked about the cardinal traits, the most important traits, as well as  the central traits, basic and most useful. Then he looks at secondary traits, the  

less obvious and less consistent traits. And so as we look at extroversion,  introversion, those would be, of course, the foundational traits, those primary  traits. And then of course, we look at other parts, the other types of traits that get into the other byproducts of extroversion and introversion, high energy, low  energy, as well as how then a person who is extroverted, then again, draws their energy, draws their connection from people, but also can be task orientated.  Well, Allport talks about that in his research, and of course, it is addressed in  your textbook as you read about him. Then we get into another researcher. His  name is Hans and Hans. Hans Eysenck. He how he came up with the theory  and also practice of identifying extraversion versus introversion, as I identified  before extroversion and introversion bring us into these keywords. Extroversion  is active, hearty. They want variety. Again, outer world. They get their their  energy from outside of them. They're expressive. They speak as they think, and  they're social. Now the introverts are reflective, quiet, focused. They have their  inner world where they draw their energy from inside of them, measured again,  wanting to be careful so they don't deplete their low energy level. They think and then they speak, as well as needing and wanting solitude. This is very true,  because as I think about myself, you can probably tell I'm more of an extrovert,  although I'm a little bit of an introvert inside see, we all have blends of  temperament that produce different personality blends personality choices and  behaviors that we all do. We are not all one personality type or one personality  pattern. We all have different personality patterns. Carl Jung helps us with that  as well, which as talked about in the book, and also as a look at the Myers  Briggs Type Indicator that also then talks about personality types, for instance.  And now looking at this as an overview, we look at personality expression in  general when it comes to the extrovert and the introvert, and yet they do blend,  because we all have different blends that interact with each other and also mute  and also enhance one another. But that's a whole other course. As we look at  personality and temperament coming back, we then go to other explanations of  extroversion and introversion, extroversion is defined as the enjoyment of  socializing with others. Introversion is the enjoying less of being with others. In  other words, extroverts, they get energized by people. Introverts, people stress  them out. And so you can see here in the visual introvert or extrovert, or in  between, we see how introversion is an attitude type characterized by  orientation in life through subjective psychic content, apparently a focus on one's inner psychic activity in terms of psychological not to confuse this with psychics,  has to do with psychological things. Enjoy solitude, best work when I'm done or 

alone, rather preferring one on one conversations surrounds themselves with  close family members. Now the extrovert Of course, they are an attitude type  characterized by concentration of interest or the external love social events  energized by people around them. They favor group discussion and are  sociable, upbeat with new surroundings, and they need and want longer social  time. They thrive on it. Introverts, just the opposite. And so with this first lesson  on personality, we get an overview, and also a look at, in general, what  personality is, how it operates outside to the in, inside to the outside, extrovert,  introvert. And then we look at also the dynamics of introvert and extrovert, the  Big Five personality traits having to do with openness, conscientiousness, again, the extroversion on the introversion inherent in hearing, neuroticism,  agreeableness, we talked about this in a previous slide, but here's a little more  detail and so on. Because as we look at conscientiousness, for instance, they're  efficient, organized, easygoing, as opposed to careless. Or I mean, we have this spectrum efficient, organized too easygoing, careless, and then you have  solitary, reserved to ongoing and energetic. In the extroversion department, the  agreeableness, you see that different extremes there too friendly,  compassionate to challenging, detached. Neuroticism, you have then secure,  competent to then sensitive and nervous. And then the openness, inventive,  curious to the other extreme, consistent and cautious, and all of the in  betweens, as I said earlier, we have blends, not only in temperament, and of  course, as as it is expressed to personality, but in these other personality types  and traits, we also see other dynamics going on when it comes to being open or  being more closed, needing more solitude as opposed to being needing that  group around you, and being adventurous, driven. Personality is complex, but  also needed. Needed. Yes, we need to understand it, and so our authors in our  textbook walk us through all the basics of personality and then into the dynamics of personality, as well as into personality disorders. As you live in a broken  world, and as you do ministry, it's important for you to understand all these  personality types, ins and outs, dynamics, extroversion, introversion, and all the  different things related to it. The next video, we're gonna look at Part Two of  personality.
