Papa Smurf is a beloved character from the 1980’s popular cartoon about small blue creatures that live harmoniously while fighting against the evil wizard Gargamel. At a whopping 546 years old, Papa Smurf has the responsibility of caring for the whole Smurf village, and to do this he uses only love and affection to guide his fellow Smurfs and protect them from things such as the evil wizard Gargamel. Papa Smurf is wise in many ways that correlate to Monika Ardelt’s three dimensional theory of wisdom. Papa Smurf can be said to have become wise from his many years of experience.

The concept of personality has fascinated psychologists for years. Allport proposed the hierarchy of traits – cardinal, central, and secondary traits (Allport, 1945). Cattell also proposed his theory, the sixteen dimensions of human personality (Cattell, 1944). Jung developed a type-based theory of personality, with different dichotomous personality categories, which was further developed by Myers and Briggs in 1962 to produce the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Ford, 2013). Some psychologists have even argued that personality does not exist; that people change behaviour over time and across various situations.

Personality is the way one behaves, thinks and feels. Theorists are interested to learn what shapes personality, what causes one to behave, think and feel the way one does.

Personality is a set of enduring traits and characteristics that relate to a person’s emotions, motivations, interpersonal interactions, and attitudes (Simmering, 2004). Personality is a pattern of relatively permanent traits and unique characteristics that give both consistency and individuality to a person’s behavior. Traits contribute to individual differences in behavior, consistency of behavior over time, and stability of behavior across situations. Personality traits are distinguishing qualities or characteristics of a person, that is, their readiness to think or act in a similar fashion in response to a variety of different stimuli or situations (Carver & Scheiver, 2000).
Personality is one of the main areas of psychology research. Over the years, researchers developed theories trying to explain how people are different and similar. Personality traits were grouped together to be determinants of more general traits such as Extraversion, Agreeableness or Neuroticism. The traits were tested for various correlations. All this to better understand why people behave the way they do and how big impact does the personality have on behaviour.
