Personality: The Three Faces Of You

[russel]

Fortsättning.....

Your reputation may not coincide with the public self you are
trying to project, or the internal personality you personally experience.
In an ideal world, all three views of the personality would line
up. We would be happy with our private self, feel comfortable revealing
it through our persona, and feel safe in the knowledge that those
with whom we interact come to know us for who we truly are. But
the world is not such a perfect place and people are not perfect beings.
The best that we can hope for in most social situations is that
our persona reflects the things we want to share with others, and that
observers are open-minded enough that their attributions about us
and our resulting reputation are accurate.
Sales representatives, human resources staff, and other professionals
who spend much time interacting with people become good
at judging personality traits and characteristics. Psychologists and
psychiatrists, of course, are trained in doing personality assessments
and can usually see a bit more of the underlying personality dynamics.
So do poker players looking for “tells” leaked by other players.
But to their credit, psychopaths have the deserved reputation of being
good judges of the personalities of others—perhaps because they
work hard at it—and have the uncanny ability to project the most effective
persona, depending on the situation, to get what they want.
How do they do it? To psychopaths, your face, words, and body language
are your autobiography, printed in large type.
