Many personality theories describe the stages we go through as our character develops.  Understanding our own personality development should greatly improve our insight into our current drives, values and views.  With greater awareness, perhaps we can be more in control or, at least more accepting of ourselves and others.  Indeed, Carl Rogers’s and Abraham Maslow’s basic notion was that we are all struggling tro become our realm, true, unique selves.  What stands in our way?  For Rogers, it was the tendency to deny our own needs and feelings, to pretend to be someone we aren’t, to avoid facing our true self. For Maslow, it was the necessity of satisfying our basic needs first-food, health, safety, love, self-esteem, before we have the luxury of carrying out the enjoyable and noble achievements that reflect our highest values and talents.  According to both Rogers and Maslow, our true selves just naturally emerge if we are lucky enough to meet our basic needs and openly experience our basic emotions and motives.

The researchers, who believe that our personality is set in concrete at 25 or 30, discount the idea of life stages or crises producing changes in our character, as described in ‘Stages of Development’ table. Yet, some people’s personal traits clearly change after marriage, having a baby, getting promoted or fired, a heart attack, a serious accident, a divorce, death of a loved one etc., especially if the person previously had certain personality traits. The traits most likely to change are emotionality, impulsivity and irritability.
