Topic Reading-Vol.1619-9/16/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Clues to your personality appeared before you could talk
Do you remember what your personality was like when you were an infant or a little child? If not, you might ask your parents the question. And compare what you were like then and what you are now. Are there recognizable similarities between them?
It seems there are for most people. How close they are may vary but some characteristics of yourself seem to have appeared in the very early stage of life. Three common signs of such characteristics have been observed in studies; “Effortful control,” “negative affectivity” like fear and frustration, and “extroversion”, or confident and social.
If you have difficulty comparing yourself now and when you were very young, how about looking at someone you’ve known for a long time, like your own children, close relatives or friends?
Enjoy reading and identifying signs of your or someone’s personality.
