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.

Health.com states concerning people with dark triad traits and one of the best ways to deal with them: "...people with dark triad personality traits may be able to change, but the likelihood of that happening is "minuscule," noted Hokemeyer. "The personality traits that make up a dark triad are deeply ingrained in their psyche and highly resistant to any sort of challenge that would manifest a change. The best strategy is to move away from them as quickly as possible."<ref>[What Is the Dark Triad and Why Are People With These Traits So Dangerous?], Health.com, 2022</ref>

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 [[Christianity|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".<ref>[https://creation.com/stephen-hawking-god Hawking atheopathy] by Jonathan Sarfati</ref>

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]
