    Explanation
    Personality development in human society started when people began living under more organized structures.

Living in a more organized structure implies increased socialization and the need to adapt to social roles and responsibilities, which in turn shapes an individual's personality.

    • Environment

    • Genetics

    • Friendships

    • Mentorship

    Correct Answer
    A. Genetics
    Explanation
    Genetics is the first influencing factor of a personality because it refers to the genetic information passed down from parents to their offspring. These genes determine various aspects of an individual's personality, such as temperament, intelligence, and predispositions to certain behaviors or traits. While environment, friendships, and mentorship can also shape a person's personality, genetics play a fundamental role in determining the basic building blocks of one's personality.

    According to Freud at which stage of a person's life does the personality evolve the most? - ProProfs

    According to Freud at which stage of a person's life does the personality evolve the most?

    • During Infancy

    • During childhood

    • During teenage years

    • During adulthood

    Correct Answer
    A. During childhood
    Explanation
    During childhood, according to Freud, the personality evolves the most. This is because childhood is a crucial developmental period where significant changes and experiences occur, shaping an individual's personality. Freud believed that during this stage, children go through various psychosexual stages, such as the oral, anal, and phallic stages, which greatly influence their personality development. These stages involve conflicts and resolutions related to different body parts and social interactions, leading to the formation of the individual's personality traits and characteristics.

    • Hyperactivity

    • Openness

    • Neuroticism

    • Extraversion

    Hyperactivity is not considered a personality trait because it refers to excessive or abnormal levels of physical activity and restlessness, rather than a stable characteristic that defines an individual's personality. Personality traits, on the other hand, are enduring patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are relatively consistent across different situations and over time. Openness, neuroticism, and extraversion are all recognized as personality traits that describe different aspects of an individual's personality.
