PRACTICAL APPLICATION:

       RENZIE and JAYSON  both failed their midterm examination   in psychology ,but they reacted in different ways.When RENZIE saw her grade,she felt sick to her stomach and had to fight back tears.She cut her next class,rushed home and shut herself up in her room to lied in bed, stare at the ceiling and feel inadequate.JAYSON on the other hand, was all bluster.HE too cut his next class after learning his grade,but he ran to the cafeteria to join his friend and make a loud jokes about his stupid psychology professor. Speaking loosely there is something inside people that makes them think,feel and act different way.And "that something inside" is what we mean by "PERSONALITY"
