helo steemian friend....As has been explained before that personality is something dynamic or tend to be changeable, this happens because of several factors that influence. Changes in the personality of a person can not occur just like that, but because of the results of the process of observation, experience, age, intervention from the outside (environment - socio-cultural) and other individuals. Here are the factors:
- Initial experience , Freud stated that the role of childhood (childhood) even from birth as a birth trauma is an experience that is hard to forget in memory. It could be that a person does not remember exactly what happened to him as a child, but it turns out the memeori can be stored in the subconscious.
- Environment (Culture) , a person must adapt to the pressures that come from the prevailing culture environment in the development of his personality patterns.
- Physical conditions, conditions that affect a person's physical fatigue, malnutrition, annual disease, disruption of the endocrine to the thyroid gland will make a person feel negative feelings on him. For example, being angry, hyperactive or even depressed.
- Attractiveness, if an environment says that someone has a certain pulling power. This will create a favorable social attitude for someone who is considered attractive. So this will form a certain personality in the person.
- Intelligence, often someone who has achievement in the case of intelligence will get the appreciation and praise of many people. There are some cases that allow a person to be arrogant and make the person under him feel a fool.
Emotions , someone who is unstable emotionally and tend to explode, will make the individual as a moody and harsh personality. - The name , a name can in fact affect a person's personality. It depends on whether the name association tends to lead to fun or not. For example, a bad name and nickname will make someone to behave as the name suggests.
- Success or Failure , Personal will grow with the phase of success and failure. If someone gets success, then this will affect the concept that is in the person.
- Social acceptance , if a person is accepted in the social environment, then it will affect his personality due to the sense of confidence he has.
- Family Environment , Just like social acceptance, the family atmosphere where one grows becomes one of the basic pillars of personality formation.
- Physical changes, physical changes can also be one of the factors forming one's personality. For example, the growth of human age.
Efforts In Learning Someone's Personality
There are various ways to learn about one's personality. Prior to this, scholars have used a variety of ways ranging from traditional (non-scientific) approaches, as well as modern (scientific approach).
The following will describe the traditional way of using a speculative approach (not scientifically justifiable). This knowledge is also known as pseudo science, the explanation as follows:

While in a scientific approach, this science is also popular with typology. In a sense, typology is the knowledge used in studying human personality, by classifying human beings into a certain type. This classification based on several factors such as the character of psychic, physical, cultural or habitual influences. [1]
