Everyone has their own individual personality, it is every individuals characteristic way of how they think, feel and act. Though some have similar personalities, we are all different. There were many theories on how a personality is developed like the Hippocrates theory in the 5th century, William Sheldon in the 1940’s and the most influential is Sigmund Freud in the 1800’s. In nowadays there are more reliable theories on how personality is developed through different personality tests. Our personalities can also affect our bodies, the way we think can reflect on how we see ourselves compared to everyone else which can develop disorders such as eating disorders.
Slow twitch are characterized by having long contraction rates, being resistant to fatigue, relying on oxygen as their main source of metabolism, and are used primarily in endurance type of activities that don't require a great deal of force.

By posing many questions to the murderers, Macbeth is helping to persuade them. A question can substitute for a request, and while a listener is searching for an answer, the speakers can give his own answer to the question. The listener (the murderers) is more likely to accept it than if it were given as an assertion. Lastly, most of Macbeth’s questions also have suggestions in
A Study of the Relationship Between Self and Desired Mate Personality Testing Regarding the Big-Five Inventory (BFI) Factor of Personality Test Sky Sommerfeld Hunter College, The City University of New York Abstract There are numerous variations in the ways of which people display personality traits. Self-reported personality testing not only allots for analysis of how an individual views themselves, but also how they would like their idealized partners personality to appear.

These five personalities of agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, extraversion, and finally neuroticism were all analyzed to see whether there was a correlation between self-reports and desired mate reports.

Is our mind the only responsible for human behavior? The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast the differences between the MBTI and Sheldon's theory and, besides this, to try to answer these typical questions. To begin with, William Sheldon, by means of a comprehensive analysis of 4,000 photographs of college-age men in front, back and side views came to the conclusion that there are three fundamental elements of human physical form and that their mixture results in seven possible body types or somatotypes. He called these three elemens endomorphy, mesomorphy and ectomorphy, which were centered on the digestive system, the muscles and the brain and nervous system, respectively. Moreover, not satisfied with that, he wanted to check whether there are a connection between the body of a person and its personality and, in the same way that the MBTI does a self-assesment questionnaire to determine the degree of each psychological function in people personalities, he did several interviews to hundreds of people to find the features that define the link between people's body type and the way they behave.

I took the Meyers-Briggs Assessment on the HumanMetrics website link provided and am kind of surprised at the results, and yet I am not surprised, at the same time. My results are ISFP with percentages Introvert (44%), Sensing (25%), Feeling (38%), and Perceiving (11%). I have a moderate preference of Introversion over Extraversion, a moderate preference of Sensing over Intuition, a moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking, and a slight preference of Perceiving over Judging. The description and explanation for my personality test results were as follows: “ISFPs often find themselves in occupations that involve communications with customers and/or requiring a good sense of aesthetics, for example, in customer support roles, store
