The personality job fit theory posits that matching person personality traits and characteristics with the job greatly motivates a person to greater heights of performance. How well a person fits in and work determines that person’s psychological health i.e. happiness, motivation and commitment to perform. A misfit however will cause frustration and dissatisfaction resulting in poor performance and high turnover. Job fitting has been a challenging task all along. Many have yet to truly realize the importance and implications of putting people in the right place upon the company’s bottom line and results

What is Psychosocial Development? So what exactly did Erikson's theory of psychosocial development entail? Much like Sigmund Freud, Erikson believed that personality develops in a series of stages. Unlike Freud's theory of psychosexual stages, Erikson's theory describes the impact of social experience across the whole lifespan. Erikson was interested in how social interaction and relationships played a role in the development and growth of human beings. One of the main elements of Erikson's psychosocial stage theory is the development of ego identity. Ego identity is the conscious sense of self that we develop through social interaction. According to Erikson, our ego identity is constantly changing due to new experiences and information we acquire in our daily interactions with others. As we face each new stage of development, we face a new challenge that can help further develop or hinder the development of identity. When psychologists talk about identity, they are referring to all of the beliefs, ideals, and values that help shape and guide a person's behavior. Forming the identity is something that begins in childhood and becomes particularly important during adolescence, but Erikson believed that it is a process that continues throughout life. Our personal identity gives each of us an integrated and cohesive sense of self that endures and continues to grow as we age. Our sense of personal identity is shaped by our experiences and interactions with others, and it is this identity that helps guide our actions, beliefs, and behaviors and we grow and develop throughout life. In addition to ego identity, Erikson also believed that a sense of competence motivates behaviors and actions. Each stage in Erikson's theory is concerned with becoming competent in an area of life. If the stage is handled well, the person will feel a sense of mastery, which is sometimes referred to as ego strength or ego quality. If the stage is managed poorly, the person will emerge with a sense of inadequacy. In each stage, Erikson believed people experience a conflict that serves as a turning point in development. In Erikson's view, these conflicts are centered on either developing a psychological quality or failing to develop that quality. During these times, the potential for personal growth is high, but so is the potential for failure. If people successfully deal with the conflict, they emerge from the stage with psychological strengths that will serve them well for the rest of their life. If they fail to deal effectively with this conflict, they may not develop the essential skills needed for a strong sense of identity and self

Your child is a unique personality with needs, wants, desire or drive and a list of traits and characteristics that may be consistent, change, or varies throughout the child's life with new experiences. Knowing your child's personality makes you an effective parent in guiding and nurturing your child. It will assist you to establish a relationship of mutual understanding, trust, and love with your child.
"If you know yourself and know your child, you will be successful in every effort you make to nurture your child.
If you know yourself but not your child, or you know your child but not yourself for every successful effort in parenting your child, there will be a failure.
If you do not know yourself, and do not know your child you are likely to fail in every effort of nurturing your child. "
Adapted from Sun Tsu Art of War
Not knowing your child particularly will create barriers between yourself and your child. Parents who do not know their child tends to impose their thoughts and values on their child and shape their child to what they want and not what the child wants. They do not give the child the choice and freedom to develop their hidden talents or potentials and to choose the path they want to be. Forcing or coercing the child to be what they want to be will have an adverse impact on the child personality, and his or her future. It is also the underlying cause of career misfit in the child's adult life.
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
“A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.”
Nelson Mandela
The development of the intelligence and character are two very important goals of education to produce an all rounded and wholesome individual. The development of intelligence entails the cognitive, mental and intellectual domains. Character involves the moral development, as well as the affective and spiritual domains.
Education in the 21st. century everywhere around the world focuses on developing the intelligence more than character, from the primary and all the way up to tertiary and beyond.
Intelligence is concerned with the development of the mind to be able to think intensively and critically to make decision and judgment. The character has to do with the moral development of a pure heart. Moral development, entailing the building of character embracing the improvement of ethics, integrity, kindness, love, compassion, and humility has been neglected since the day formal education began.
An individual with the personal disorder often finds difficulties in controlling one's thinking processes, feelings and desires causing interpersonal disruptions in human relationship.
The purpose of this article is an attempt to classify personality disorder under the five dimensional model of KYKO personality profile.
High Egocentric Dimension
High Egocentric/Assertive Personality is characterized by a high need for power, image, status, recognition, take charge and to control and shape the environment
Highly integrity people are sincere, reliable and dependable. They keep their words and fulfill their commitments. They will not compromise their values, ethics and principles to accomplish their goals. Low ethical people are cunning, deceitful, chameleon-like and exploitative. They are unscrupulous and will go all out to manipulate, outsmart and exploit others to satisfy their insatiable selfish ends.
a popular tool, having the largest market share was developed by mother and daughter housewife. They start off by categorizing personality and putting a number of the typology without sound theories to support each personality type. None of the assessment tool evaluates all the psychological traits of our personality due to its dubious origin and methodology. Many of its interpretations are rather vague and sound like fortune cookie or horoscope.
The Big Five Factors is the only assessment tool that attempts to assess all psychological traits by identifying approximately 4,500 traits from the lexicon of the dictionary. The drawback is they are not based on any psychological theory. They assume that all our traits are born.
KYKO was established to address the problems of existing contemporary personality assessments. At least its origin and methodology are not dubious as evidenced in its theoretical explanation, premise, dimensions and typology in this presentation.
