I Heart Huckabee’s Our personality varies based our environment or situation and is subjected to change. As many may know, our personality tells us who we are as a person. It is a substantial role in our lives. Personality is the pattern of behavior, thoughts, and feelings. In the movie I Heart Huckabee’s there was a scene about the “blanket theory”. Bernard, the detective, names a couple of things to his client Albert under the blanket. Bernard is stating that everything is connected and everything matters. We all connect to one another in life even when we think we are totally different from one another. For example, everyone who is a part of a university has the same role by attending like the dean, students, and custodians, but everyone has a different job there which effects our personality. The correlation between Albert and Brad are more connected than any other characters because they are fighting over the same job position, but have different drives for the company. Correlation is the studies that reviews the relationship between two or more characteristics of people. They are all about saving the marshes, but Brad does not care as much. “Personality is complex and shaped by many factors, including genetics, parenting, and relationships with peers (Campbell, W. K., & Twenge, J. M. p. 6).” So does personality exist? Well, of course it does. Personality psychology answer the questions about who we are. The Big Five personality traits also describe us
Personality is who an individual is, how one does things, manages events and situations, and how one describes other individuals. One 's personality can help guide an individual throughout one 's life, in addition to having power over the situation or task.

One 's may believe an individual 's personality, differences, and individualities is the core of who an individual truly is.
Burton, western & Kowaslki (2015) describes Personality as the enduring patterns of thought, feeling, motivation and behaviour that are expressed in different circumstances. In other words it can be defined as differences in characteristics in a person, including their way of thinking, likes, dislikes, sociability, openness, feelings and behaviour, which make them the person they are and differentiates them from others. All these traits when brought together is known to be the personality of that particular person.
The word personality is known as quite a diverse concept and can be described differently in accordance to different people, it comes from the word persona which is a Latin term and is referred to as a mask which actors use when performing. Based on this it could be concluded that characteristics which are visible along with external characteristics (the aspects of us in which can be seen by others) is what personality refers to, (Schultz and Scultz, 2004). Another definition of personality by a different psychologist is “The dynamic and organized set of characteristics possessed by a person that uniquely influences his or her cognitions, motivations, and behaviours in various situations.” (Rychman, 1999: 5). There are many areas of personality
Personality, like most core Psychology subjects, is difficult to define. Personality is essentially the science of describing and understanding people. No two people are the same; even identical twins will tell you that they are very different to their identical counterpart. There are some who are anxious and there are those who are risk-takers. There are some who are carefree while there are those who are highly-strung and there are those who are over-confident while some are just plain shy. It is this issue of differences that are fundamental to the study and examination of personality.
Chapter 10 is over personality. Personality is described as a pattern of enduring, distinctive thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that characterize the way an individual adapts to the world. The book goes over psychodynamic perspectives, trait perspectives, personological and life story perspectives, social cognitive perspectives, and biological perspectives.
Personality is looked at everyday purposely and accidently. Whether you are judging how your new professor for the semester will be, or if you are studying your best friend for a project, personality is studied abundantly. While there are many ways to define personality, there is not a worldwide definition around. Personality is the unique combination of patterns that influence behavior, thought, motivation, and emotion in a human being (boundless.com). That is one of many ways of defining personality. When examining personality, there are four main approachable theories including: The Psychodynamic Approach, The Trait Approach, The Social-Cognitive Approach, and The Humanistic Approach.
In the beginning of the semester, we as a class were posed with the question as to whether or not personality even exists. Personality, as described by the textbook, is “someone’s usual pattern of behavior, feelings, and thoughts” (Twenge and Campbell, 2017). After reading the textbook, Personality Psychology by Jean M. Twenge and W. Keith Campbell, I believe that personality does, in fact, exist. According to the book, personality psychology aims to analyze “who we [as individuals] are and how we got to be that way” (Twenge and Campbell, 2017). For example,

In this essay I will describe correlation is a measure of association as well as describe different methods of establishing a correlation between variables. In this essay I will also explain advantages and disadvantages of each method, were each must be applied, and provide particular circumstances and examples in which a researcher may want to establish correlation
When Huckleberry and Tom were sneaking out, Huckleberry tripped over a root and fell. When Huckleberry fell he woke up Miss.Watson's slave, Jim, which made them stay hidden until he fell asleep again. When they were leaving Tom took Jim's hat and hung it on a tree branch. Later, Jim said that witches put him in a trance and flew him all over the state. Slaves from all over began to come and listen to his tale and look at his five-center piece.
David O. Russell’s I Heart Huckabees is an existential, philosophical comedy about environmentalist Albert Markovski, played by actor Jason Schwartzman, who started the Open Spaces coalition. The movie’s opening monologue shows Albert asking himself a series of questions such as “What am I doing?” and “Is it hopeless to try and change things?” Clearly, he is a curious, introspective character facing a state of distress and confusion. On top of these questions, Albert has experienced a strange coincidence. In a single day, he saw the same “African man” three times. In order to understand and find meaning in this coincidence, Albert seeks help from Bernard and Vivian Jaffe, a husband and wife team of “existential detectives” who specialize in “crisis investigation and resolution.” The Jaffes plan on helping Albert by spying on him throughout the day to see what observations they can make about him as a person. They also challenge Albert to question the meaning of life and his perception of reality while sharing with him their own beliefs about the universe, like the idea of “infinity thinking.”
According to Eysenck the personality is the sum total of actual or potential behavior patterns of organism as determined by heredity and environment; it originates and develops through the functional interaction of four main sectors into which these behavior patterns are organized; the cognitive sector(intelligence), the cognitive sector(character), the affective sector(temperament) and somatic structure(constitution).
Personality is a pattern of relatively permanent traits and unique characteristics that gives both consistency and individuality to a person’s behavior (Feist & Feist, 2008).
Personality denotes a person’s distinguishing psychological characteristics that lead to relatively consistent and enduring responses to various stimuli.
Personality takes many shapes and forms and is affected by many factors. My understanding of personality is simply a genetic and environmentally determined set of psychological traits that influence our reactions in the world around us. Genetic because our parents possess a certain set of psychological personality traits that we tend to have in common with them so therefore in my opinion there are heritable personality traits. Personality is environmental because we each have our own separate experiences in the world and these experiences help form our unique personality. Neo-Freudians such as Jung have given us a wide array of ideas of how they believe personality is developed and formatted. Jung in particular has a very interesting take on personality. It is this theory that I can most resonate with and apply to myself and even friends and family of mine.
