hey my name is Theodore this is practical psychology and my mission is to help you improve yourself by learning how your brain works so if I accomplish that go ahead and leave a like and if I don't leave a comment so that I might be
2
able to improve these videos hope you enjoyed this video have you ever taken a personality quiz the results might tell you that you're the center of attention or maybe something like you're an ENTJ people describe personalities in
3
different ways and scientists still have a lot of questions about how our personalities actually influence our actions and that make us who we are if you've ever been curious about what this word personality really means we'll get
4
comfortable in this series we're gonna be talking about personality so first off what is personality now there are a ton of ways to define personality in fact top personality psychologists Feist and Feist says this although no single
5
definition is acceptable to all personality theorists we can say that personality is a pattern of relatively permanent traits and unique characteristics I give both consistency and individuality to a person's behavior
6
so let's zoom in and focus on one word here traits you need to know this word in and out when it comes to personality psychology it's the center traits are a unique characteristics that influence our behavior these characteristics
7
typically set us apart from other people for example you might describe yourself as a respectful person or a genuine person these are two examples of personality traits before we talk about the big five personality traits it's
8
important to remember that traits influence our behavior they don't dictate it when you are a respectful person you have a tendency to be respectful to other people around you but you might act outside of these
9
traits due to well really anything you might have a sick day a bad history with someone or even nervousness may cause you to act out of character now this is one of the reasons why traits are usually measured on a scale so let's
10
move on to how personality works we display traits through something called psychological mechanisms you need to remember this term too because it comes up almost as often as traits does psychological mechanisms are like traits
11
except that they are the processes of personality now a process has three parts the input the rules the decision rules in the middle and then the output our traits determine the output and sometimes they even determine what type
12
of input that we encounter let's say you're a courageous person the input is a dangerous situation so you have rules in right decision rules these rules are based on your traits and they make
13
decisions on how you act so the output if you're a courageous person is to face danger now if you're not a courageous person the output will be you fleeing the scene so let's go over these two again traits are characteristics and are
14
the individual words that we use to describe people mechanisms are the processes that people follow based on these traits so I want to talk a little bit about the three levels of personality analysis so how do
15
psychologists measure personality well for the answer we look to cluck Allah and Murray in 1953 they published personality and nature society and culture in the book they say that every man is in certain respects like all
16
other men like some other men and like no other man so think about it there are universal traits and mechanisms that make humans unique to other species like for example think of Maslow's hierarchy of needs we all belong to one big group
17
the human race but within our species we separate ourselves in other groups we might call ourselves introverts Americans messy people go-getters these smaller groups share personality traits at the most specific level we all have
18
things that make us unique maybe you have a special talent or a strange behavior that confuses your friends habits routines and emotional connections to people are all types of things that make us different from the
19
person next to us so here's three examples of ways that you're like all other humans you have a need to belong you want a feeling of purpose all humans want this and you might tear up if I smack your nose that's actually called
20
the NASA ciliary nerve reflex now here's some examples of ways that you're like some other humans you might be introverted you might be really good at doing your taxes and maybe you wince whenever you watch someone give themselves a paper cut and lastly you're like no other humans maybe you
21
absolutely love doing your taxes maybe you plan your days and you set very specific goals that nobody else on this planet does and you might cry if I show you an image of your deceased family member that's something that might
22
happen to you but doesn't happen to anyone else so these similarities and differences don't just give us a group to belong to they're the cornerstone of predicting behavior so as you can see a lot of
23
personality is understanding the similarities and the differences of different people and how they act so let's move on to where does personality come from you might hear your family members tell you that you have a similar
24
analogy to your mother or to your father now does this mean our personality is inherited do we get it from our family how do we adopt the personality traits that make us like all other people like some other people and like no other
25
people well there are a ton of different explanations that explain this or attempt to explain this genetics is one but environment the experiences you have biology and trends going on in your culture may also explain where you get
26
your personality traits one interesting thought is that we co-create our personalities and the personalities of the people were you interact with so they're all changing now here are some common personality theories and I'm gonna be going in depth in the future videos so if you haven't already and you
27
already like this style of video go ahead and click the subscribe button number one is trait theory then behavioral theory then humanistic theory then biological theory and psychoanalytic theory which is basically
28
from Freud now not all personality traits are positive but we usually prefer to talk about positive personality traits we tend to reward people that show positive personality traits maybe like being respectful or
29
genuine now if someone is kind we usually reward that type of behavior by being kind back right now already you might find some arguments against this idea not everyone characterizes the same
30
traits to be positive or negative someone may think that respectfulness is a top-tier personality trait that you need to have in culture to succeed someone else who has a lot of distrust and authority or if the so called system
31
they might view respectfulness as a negative personality trait so how do people form their personalities when they're both rewarded and chastised for the same trait in different situations well these are some of the questions
32
that psychologists are trying to answer so at this point you might be thinking why is personality psychology important well there are tons of other questions that can only be answered with research and the study of personality psychology
33
and I'm going to go over a few of the big ones the first one is freedom versus determinism so this is basically asking do we really choose our behavior and if we wanted to change as humans could we actually change or are we determined to
34
become a specific type of person question number two is hereditary versus environment so in reality where do our personality traits actually come from nature or nurture number three is unique or universal some
35
psychologists say humans are very unique while others agree that we're pretty fairly universally the same so what are we lastly is proactive versus reactive now as humans do we act on our own initiative or do we simply
36
respond to stimuli so as we continue to move forward in this video you should know why our personality psychologist so determined why is it so important to answer these types of questions well they can use it to predict your future
37
behavior if you had the ability to predict who is on track to becoming a criminal wouldn't you want to steer them in a different path and maybe even save someone's life from a life in prison look at Ted Bundy's personality psychologists generally agree that he had a classic sociopathic personality
38
well where did it come from well some people say that he started forming a sociopathic personality when he was rejected by the love of his life at a young age others believe his failure to become a lawyer sparked these
39
personality traits and other psychologists traced the root of his personality to the shame of never knowing his real birth parents well we do know that his sociopathic behaviors did start early and some argue his
40
killings could have been statistically predicted how crazy is that predict that someone would kill someone else he was a pyromaniac and he had tortured animals as a child some psychologists point to his early bedwetting as a sign that he
41
was on track to becoming sociopaths in fact these three traits form the sociopathic personality number one being amused and playing with fire which would be like a pyromaniac number two bedwetting when you're a child and
42
number three torturing animals we don't really know why this happens but it seems to happen throughout time and because of that we can use it to predict sociopathic personalities now being adopted or wetting the bed obviously
43
doesn't mean that you were born to become a sociopath but these theories and discoveries are the first steps in determining how we actually form our personalities and how those personalities influence our behavior if
44
psychologists can get a good idea of a map that leads us to certain behaviors then maybe we can redraw that map and develop a co-creation process that influences more positive personality traits and less sociopathic ones the
45
psychology of personality isn't just important for determining the future of humans scientists in fact and artificial intelligence look at massive amounts of data relating to personality traits and their behaviors artificial intelligence
46
can help us in our efforts to predict future behavior from specific personalities and possibly prevent bad things from happening since analyzing personality data involves looking at massive amounts of information you know
47
the history of people what they're like recognizing traits organizing traits what artificial intelligence is really good at organizing and looking at massive amounts of data now right now data
48
currently just shows correlations between different levels of personality traits and future behaviors or classifications for example there's a correlation between conscientiousness and good grades in school there's also a
49
correlation that exists between extroverts and car accidents now personality psychologists say that this could be due to extroverts need for constant stimulation the data also links low agreeableness to competitive
50
behaviors so if you want to be an entrepreneur you probably want to have a little bit lower agreeableness also high neuroticism may predict the presence of a mental illness in fact high neuroticism is very closely linked to
51
mental illnesses now this list of examples goes on and on but this data still isn't perfect yet and I'll talk about all kinds of predictions you can make from your results of a personality test in future videos so again hit that
52
subscribe button and that bell icon if you haven't already psychologists use a lot of different sources to collect this type of data they use studies surveys crime data and all kinds of other sources of information and I'm going to
53
attempt to explain all of this to you in an easy-to-understand format in the rest of the series the results from data and studies of personality can help improve humankind there's no doubt about that but what have we actually collected so
54
far as I in this video I want to let you know about something called the unifying theory of personality so far you've heard a lot of names and theories mentioned in this video well you might be wondering who can we look to for the
55
end-all-be-all theories of how we actually develop personality traits and how we use them to make decisions well it doesn't work like that yet we have grand unifying theories that explain a lot of our questions for example the
56
theory of evolution by natural selection is a grand unifying theory in the world of biology we're still looking for a theory like that in personality psychology think of a grand unifying theory of personality like a bunch of
57
blind men trying to feel an elephant one man walks up to the elephant from the front and it feels its long nose this blind man says the elephant is much like a snake another man walks up to the elephant from the side he says the
58
elephant is very much like a large cow because that's what he can feel the last blind man walks up to the elephant and feels his ear he says much like a land-dwelling stingray this is now each man is only touching one part of the
59
elephant so they don't fully understand what a whole elephant looks like similarly the theories that we use to describe personality are much like this they only touch a specific part of our personality an elephant is a combination
60
of a large round body a long snake-like nose and big floppy ears personality is likely made up of biological behavioral and cognitive aspects so you should know that we do have a grasp on different elements of personality psychology and
61
again in this series I'll take you through the elements of trait theory behavioral theory humanistic theory biological theory and the infamous psycho analytical theory right now we believe that those theories may play a part in the grand unifying theory of psychology but there's still a lot of
62
research to be done and lastly in this video I want to talk about the Big Five personality traits so traits psychologists have been trying to create a concise list of personality traits that can be used to describe the basics
63
of anyone's personality after coming up with lists of thousands of words and then 16 words and then three well top psychologists have settled on a happy medium five traits you should keep these big five traits in mind as you start to
64
evaluate your own personality many people use an acronym to remember the Big Five ocean or canoe the big five personality traits are openness conscientiousness extraversion agreeableness and neuroticism and I'll
65
explain one of these in depth in another video each of these traits has a polar opposite the opposite of extraversion is introversion a trait psychologists believe that we all lie somewhere along a scale between each of these big five traits and its opposite so example
66
you're not an introvert and you're not an extrovert but maybe you're 25% extraversion and 75% introversion now here's a little bit of my own thoughts there's not very much research on this but I think one of the main things in self-improvement is learning to push the boundaries of your personality so you
67
might be a point-seven introverted well over time as you improve yourself you can extend your range from 0.5 to 0.9 and depending on your situation you can change you can become a chameleon and push your boundaries so as I in this
68
video I want to let you know that this research is really exciting I had a ton of fun going through all these text books and learning all this type of stuff imagine what could really happen if we fully understood self-esteem or
69
trust or even leadership traits if you want to watch the rest of the videos in this series to learn how predictable that you really are and if you can actually change your personality or if your future is set in stone if you

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
