Sixteen Primary Traits
Self Theory : According to RogerRogers's theory of personality is structured around the concept of self. The self is those perceptions the individuals have of themselves and their relationship with others and other aspects of life.
The self is how people see their own behaviour and internal characteristics. Rogers theory assumes that individuals are constantly engaged in the process of fulfilling their potential, of actualizing the true self.
Rogers suggest that each person has concept not only of self but also of an ideal self. An ideal self is the self that person would like to be. When correspondence exists between the real self and the ideal self, a person is generally happy.
