Is it possible to change your personality?

Is it possible to not know what kind of person you are?

Possible to be able to say what kind of ';personality'; you fit? Are they really definable?

More importantly, is it possible to change yourself. I don't mean by ';being something you're not';, I mean, Becoming something you truly think you are. As an example, perhaps a loud, obnoxious person realizes himself and decides he wants to have a more soft-spoken, quiet and calm persona. Would it be possible? How could anyone achieve this? What kind of things would they have to focus on?



Thanks!Is it possible to change your personality?
personality can be measured by several psychological tests... but i don't recommend taking them because most are inadequate and inaccurate... only you can decide who or what you really are...



personality does change over time... several factors can affect how a person behaves in given situations... experience is one of those factors...



but there is an instance where a person radically changed his personality... in 1848, a man named Phineas Gage had a large iron rod pierce through his left eye and through his frontal lobe... he completely recovered from it but his personality changed radically...



but i'm not suggesting that you get an iron rod stuck to your brain! all i'm saying is that personalities can change...



hope this helps : )Is it possible to change your personality?
focus on how obnoxious you are to other people. have a friend or parent remind you too.you can do it if you want to bad enough.
first, yes you can predict your personality type, its a pretty common test.



second, your personality will change over time anyway to some extent. to make major changes in a certain direction takes a lot of work, and hten certain parts will not change. just try to act like the person you really want to be. practice! but more importantly, ask yourself *why* do you thing this is the person you are? and why do you behave differently? if the quiet person is ones nature, there must be something else making him be louder.
i used to be like a loud nerd but noticed how wierd i was. i changed by watching more war movies and action and comedy, played a lot less video games, focused on a social life and homework, made realistic but hard goals, and conquering simple fears like spiders and the dark, got a dog, etc. Now im more quiet but a lot tougher and even physically stronger.



just for the record i changed myself cause i wasnt happy with myself, not to be like a lot of my peers.
I think what kind of personality one posses depends on few inside qualities of a person and lot of times our surroundings. I think the world around you, the people around you, the situations you face and your needs/interests will design your personality.If surroundings got that power to influence then I think you(soul) will have more power then the surroundings. I think all we need is positive mind, determination and handwork to attain what you want to become. I also think the we are human beings and we are the one who can change not the non living things.
Yes,it is possible to change personalities. I have this ability and it comes naturally. I have been surrounded by so many different kinds of people, in so many different kinds of environments that I have a natural ability to blend in to virtually any environment with ease. Also, ones personality can change depending on whom they're communicating with. Almost like a reflection type of thing. It is easy to lose ones self when having to change ones personality to suite different environments. People are complex creatures and everyone has different sides to them.
Be silent with no effort is a talent. It may not be possible from the first day itself. But you could achieve this after having unremitting practice. It is your first step to the meditation. You will talk to the God Almighty in silence and he will talk to you. Silence with an effort will not give you much pleasure. Being silent should not be a task, it should be a practice. You could be silent physically, but it is not so easy to be silent mentally. You should not talk to yourself when you want to be silent.



A small silence between your sentences would give you more confidence when you talk. You are getting relaxed after having a small silence or break and this gives you more audacity and strength. ';Relax'; another comfortable word. ';Relax.., Relax.., Relax..,'; I know you will be relaxed if someone says like this to you. So we need leisure, we enjoy it always. Practice unnoticeable silence in your speech; your words will be deep rooted into others



I am not talking about the physical silence to your duties or responsibilities. Silence may cause the opposite result. Unsaid words may cause the opposite meaning. Being silent instead of saying ';I can do it for you'; may be considered ';I cannot do it for you'; or vice versa. Be smart and tactful when you want to be silent. My intension here is to make you understand how practicing ';silence'; could make your personality stronger, how does it makes you unique from others, how does it cleans your unwanted feelings and tensions.

';The Healing Power Of Silence'; is indescribable. All of us will have a minimum percentage of the so called ';depression';. Regular practice of silence will make your thoughts healthy and brighten, and this helps you to come out from your crazy thoughts. You are always led by your thoughts, having healthy and bright thoughts are always important for you to achieve your life goals.
