Kind student:

The study of personality is presented as a fascinating and problematic task.

Fascinating because at the bottom of every person lies the longing question of knowing what he or she is like. Such fascination responds to a natural and irrepressible desire: that of knowing about oneself in order to know what to expect.

Problematic because there are many scholars, theories and schools of psychology from which the study of personality has been approached. For this reason, it is normal that the beginner (you, kind student) may find it a little more difficult to pass from one model of personality to another or that you insist on making them clash and try to integrate them into a single synthetic, totalizing and almost cryptic model.

My advice is to encourage you to try to reach a personal synthesis, which will help you to know and lead yourself and illuminate the steps you have to take in the journey of life.

It is convenient to let yourself be seduced by the study of personality psychology because of the implications that this may have in approaching other people, whom you will sooner or later have to meet in the exercise of your profession.

If you study motivated or moved by these circumstances, the way will be smoothed out and you will even be captivated by what you study, a fact that will help you to furnish your head. Whenever you have problems and you think about them.
