Personality profiling

Personality :

When we discuss personality we must remember that it is not a single independent mechanism but closely related to other human cognitive and emotional systems.

Personality is not the same thing as motivation

Personality is not the same thing as culture which is the values, attitudes and beliefs we share with others about the nature of the world.

Personality is not the same thing as ability (usually held to be synonymous with intelligence) which is the ability to identify, understand and absorb the different components of a problem.
