Question

What genetic and environmental influences do you think produced your specific pattern of personality? How do your specific traits affect your interactions with others and your future career choices?

Answer 1

• Personality traits are always based on both genes and environment. But it is more influenced by genetics than a environment. When we little grow up, we want to involve with others as well, so our traits could be manupulated or controled by environment. As our personality traits are inbuilt so it is difficult to change.

Therefore according to me, I believe that genetic and environmental influences our shape of personalities. Culture and gene effects our personality. Culture and gene influence our behaviour, awareness, attitute and beliefs. An individual's trait of personality is dependent on their environment and genetic basis.

Generally the big five personality traits define individual's characteristics, thoughts, shape of human behaviour, and uniqueness as well. The big five personality traits are :

• Extraversion : Enthusiastic, sociable, funny, positive attitudes, friendly, talkative etc.
• Agreeableness : Kindly behaviour, cooperative, polite, adjustable etc.
• Openness : Sensitive, creative, intellectual behaviour etc.
• Conscientiousness : Goal achiever, patience, responsible, positive attitude etc.
• Neuroticism : Shy, depressed, fear, anxious, jealousy, guilt etc

These big five personality traits also known as a five-factor model. Basically these personality traits can be switched because though it is gene based but it is not permanent. All these five personality traits are genetic basis but it can be influenced by our environment.

• According to our personality traits, we have a tend to choice our job. As a example, an extrovert person always would like to choose social interacting job like field work, team leader position, sales work etc. And an introvert person would like to choose technical job or computer related job as their personality traits are like shy, adjustable, passive, silent and reserved. Therefore personality trait determines our career and it also affects our interactions with others. Basically we people have a tend to interact with others basis on their personality traits. When we interact with others we change our traits because of interacting them. Therefore our specific traits affect our interactions with others and your future career choices.
