Psychology Unit 5
Intelligence and Personality
Personality theory is psychology’s most substantial undertaking. Psychologist’s most influential
thinkers and most famous names have been personality theorists: Freud and Jung, Rogers,
Maslow, Horney, Adler among others. They have explained, or claimed to have explained, the
complexities of human behavior. These are the mysteries of human nature. Why are we the way
we are? Why are we attracted to people either like us or not like us? What implications are there
for each personality type? This unit will attempt to shed some light on these complex questions.
