Abstract

Personality is one of the major areas of study in psychology today. We do not have scope in this book to explore the complexities relating to this topic, nor to discuss neurological and biological questions. We will restrict ourselves to looking at the concept of personality, understood as character, the apparent, conditioned identity of each individual.1 Our intention is to investigate some of the results of the numerous studies that have researched character typologies and how they affect behavior. Individual and collective behavior within organizations has been an important area of study in recent years and has produced interesting results relating to the development and acquisition of competences and new skills by managers.
