The objective of this study is to describe the role of personality in affecting situational behavior and examine the personality characteristics attributed to each of the theories. This work will additionally explain the interpersonal relational aspects associated with the theories selected. There is a great deal of research that appears to demonstrate the role that personality plays in predicting the behavioral patterns of the individual. However, as noted in this study there are limitations as well in this area of inquiry. Biological factors certainly must play a role in the individual's behavior and specifically in this study the learning behavior of the individual. Also noted to play a role in the individual's learning behavior is cognition and the individual self-directed behavior. It is clear from the literature reviewed in this study that knowledge on the role of personality in the learning behavior in the individual is not clearly understood and is an evolving area of study and one that requires more study be conducted if a greater understanding of the role personality plays on the individual learning behavior is to be disseminated further.
