Personality Factors

First of all, we should ask ourselves: What is the Personality? There are several definitions of the personality, but I chose this one; Personality is: "The combination of characteristics and qualities that form an individual's distinctive character, i.e the type of person you are, which is shown by the way you behave, feel and think."

According to a important neurologist and medical as Sigmund Freud, He thinks The Personality is divided 3 Levels of Awareness:

1) Conscious mind

The conscious mind is where we are paying attention at the moment. It includes only our current thinking processes and objects of attention, and hence constitutes a very large part of our current awareness.

2) Preconscious mind

The preconscious includes those things of which we are aware, but where we are not paying attention. We can choose to pay attention to these and deliberately bring them into the conscious mind.

We can control our awareness to a certain extent, from focusing in very closely on one conscious act to a wider awareness that seeks to expand consciousness to include as much of preconscious information as possible.

3) Subconscious mind

At the subconscious level, the process and content are out of direct reach of the conscious mind. The subconscious thus thinks and acts independently.

One of Freud's key findings was that much behavior is driven directly from the subconscious mind. This has the alarming consequence that we are largely unable to control our behavior, and in particular that which we would sometimes prefer to avoid.

More recent research has shown that the subconscious mind is probably even more in charge of our actions than even Freud had realized.
