13 What is Personality Personality from the Inside Actor’s View ( Identity) Personality from the Outside: The Observer’s View ( Reputation) How a person sees oneself- one’s identity How others see the person –their reputation. Identity is based on the person’s hopes, dreams and aspirations. A person’s reputation is defined in terms of “characteristics”. Identity is difficulty to measure and study Characteristic reflect how a person’s behavior is evaluated after repeated interactions with others. People tend to over estimate their sense of humor, interpersonal skills, leadership skills, and ability to judge character Characteristics can be used to predict behavior in new situations; they can be used to predict performance. Identity is not always reflected in behaviors Characteristics are easy to study, most of what we know about personality and job performance is based on observer’s perspectives.
