Personality

The aspect of personality can be approached from the psychological angel as well as the sociological perspective. The prime concern within the scope of this paper though is on the sociological aspect of personality and the varied issues that shape ones personality.

It is apparent that the sociological approach to personality takes into account the status of the person within the social setting and the conception of the roles that he plays within that group. It is notable that whatever others think of one also plays a role in shaping the personality of the individual (Sociology Guide, 2011). It is therefore indicative that personality is the sum of the values, ideas as well as the attitudes that the person has and consequently determining his role in the society and also becomes an integral part of his daily character.

There are four major factors that are seen to play a role in shaping personality and are applicable to me. The four factors are the physical environment, culture surrounding the individual, heredity as well as particular experiences as indicated by Sociology Guide. In my case, the outstanding factors that played a role in shaping my personality are culture and the particular experiences.

Different sociologists categorize personalities in varied ways. Some have categorizations that are up to eight different categories, yet others have as few as two categories. Going by Discus (2013), a professional personality profiling body, I stand out as the 'Assertive' type otherwise known as type A personality in among other scholars.

I am self-motivated, independent, enthusiastic and self-confident. I am also seen as a person who is direct, outgoing, ambitious in life and sociable. In terms of the values of my values, I am a person who is concerned with results as well as attention. I am an individual who seeks control and approval. I always avoid weakness or isolation in life and will be seen as dictating and attacking. My approach is always friendly and responsive with her strategy being getting power and people under me.

I also know what I want in life and that is being in the medical field. Despite having diverted to the employment sector for ten years to make ends meet, I am still determined to be what I had intended to be in the initial times and the high level if determination points to my inward motivation. I am also independent in that I make sound decisions on my own, I decided to let go of my "career" initially to pursue employment and now I have decided to further my career. If it were not for enthusiasm, I could have already let go of my dream to be a nurse which I still hold on to dearly. Self-confidence is played out in the fact that I never allowed the unpleasant interaction between sexuality and gambling waste my life ahead. The job of being at a casino, especially for that long, requires someone who is extremely outgoing and sociable.
