This article presents an overview of human personality in terms of six basic dimensions. Separate articles will also be found on this site exploring each of these dimensions in greater detail. The composition of human personality is the subject of innumerable theories. Each focuses on one or several particular aspects or dimensions of personality, but none appear to consider it in its full scope, depth and integrity. Some theories focus more on differences in type, others on the relative development of specific characteristics and competencies and still others on the dynamics of interaction between several psychological constructs such as Freud's ego, super ego and identity.

  • This article presents an overview of human personality in terms of six basic dimensions. Separate articles will also be found on this site exploring each of these dimensions in greater detail. The composition of human personality is the subject of innumerable theories.

Some theories focus more on differences in type, others on the relative development of specific characteristics and competencies and still others on the dynamics of interaction between several psychological constructs such as Freud's ego, super ego and identity. A typological approach to categorize personalities fails to take into account wide variations in intensity that would adequately distinguish a Napoleon from a dominant local leader. Behavioral descriptions do not adequately distinguish between external expressions of personality and inner motivation. In an effort towards scientific objectivity and impartiality, most theories omit assigning values to differences in personal orientation to other people and the world around, yet the distinction between a good, kind, generous person who relates positively to everyone and one who is jealous, mean or evil-motive cannot be merely dismissed as a difference in type. A comprehensive theory of personality would need to account for and integrate all these dimensions -- typal differences, varying levels of development and dynamics. A first step in evolution of such a theory would be to clearly identify the structural dimensions on which personalities differ. Human personalities can be examined and differentiated on six core dimensions: 1. * Energy 2. * Direction: positive-negative attitudes 3. * Values 4. * Depth: Manners-Behavior-Character-Personality-Individuality 5. * Consciousness: physical-vital-mental development 6. * Strength
