Personality: characteristic pattern of thinking, feeling and behaving that is unique to each individual and remains relatively consistent overtime and situations, there are two ways to measure personality.

The reason for this effect are the very generalizable state(cid:373)e(cid:374)t (cid:373)ade i(cid:374) the p(cid:396)ofile. These state(cid:373)e(cid:374)t i(cid:374)(cid:272)lude t(cid:455)pe su(cid:272)h as (cid:862)(cid:455)ou so(cid:373)eti(cid:373)es te(cid:374)d to (cid:271)e i(cid:374) a (cid:271)ed (cid:373)ood.
