Splitting personality into two
“[T]he ‘positive’ conception of freedom as self-mastery, with its suggestion of a man divided against himself, has in fact, and as a matter of history, of doctrine and of practice, lent itself more easily to this splitting of personality into two: the transcendent, dominant controller, and the empirical bundle of desires and passions to be disciplined and brought to heel. ... This demonstrates (if demonstration of so obvious a truth is needed) that conceptions of freedom directly derive from views of what constitutes a self, a person, a man. Enough manipulation of the definition of man, and freedom can be made to mean whatever the manipulator wishes.”
— Isaiah Berlin,[1]

Personality is the way people think, feel, and behave.[2]

Big Five personality traits

See also: Big Five personality traits

Basic Five Factor model

The Big Five personality traits (the basis for the five factor model) are the five traits psychologists use to describe an individual's personality. While other traits exist, these are thought to define a large part of individuality. Hans Eysenck initiated this concept, but only included two personality traits, extraversion and neuroticism.

List of Big 5 personality Traits

  • Conscientiousness - self-discipline, efficiency, and orderliness
  • Extraversion - assertive, energetic, and personable
  • Agreeableness - understanding and cooperativeness
  • Neuroticism - anxiety, vulnerability, and sensitivity
  • Openness - Creativity, imitativeness, and curiosity[3][4]

The three Dark Triad personality subtypes are narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopath.[5]

"The “Dark Triad” personality traits are a toxic amalgamation of various negative traits and behaviors, such as they are domineering, violent, volatile, manipulative, remorseless, cynical, deceitful, etc."[6]

The dark triad personality traits and their various sub-traits.
Some of the characteristics of psychopaths are being angry, rash, impulsive, and oppositional (among others).[7]

Reduced empathy, often seen in psychopathy, increases the prevalence of goal-directed aggression.[8] Psychopaths have a greater risk of suffering from irritability/reactive aggression.[9] Both decreased empathy and increased anger are associated with maladaptive aggression.[10]
Narcissists don't learn from their mistakes because they don't think they make any.[11]

Atheism and personhood

See also: Atheism and personhood

Under a naturalistic, atheist worldview, human beings a collection of atoms that are merely the outcome of an accidental collection of atoms.

In a naturalistic, atheistic worldview, the universe is merely the outcome of an accidental arrangement of atoms and eventually all the suns in the universe will eventually burn out (see: Atheism, agnosticism and pessimism). And unlike Bible believing Christians, there are atheists who actually assert the universe popped into existence from nothing (see: Atheism and the origin of the universe). For instance, the atheist Stephen Hawking asserted: "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing".[12]
