An instructor who is giving a Personality test to an individual every ten years will realize that the results are not consistent but rather they are changing over the time period each test is being taken at. Personality-as mentioned in class- is something that an individual builds on throughout their lives and therefore it can change over time as an individual gets exposed to new things within their environment. An individual is constantly being exposed to an environment that is full of expectations, entertainments and so on, in a way an individuals environment can indirectly change their personality over some period of time. For example, at the age of 20, an individual could be extrovert (always going out), social (socializing with others and hanging out with them) and so on. 10 years later when this individual is 30, he might not have the same personalities that he did when he was 20. For instance, now this individual might have a full-time job, married, has a kid. He has much more responsibility within his environment than he did 10 years ago. He might not have that much time to go out and socialize with his friends.This, according to the personality test will conclude that his personality type is an introvert but in reality, it is not his true personality but rather its the personality type that his environment has pressured him to have due to all the responsibilities that he has.
Therefore an environment will have a great impact on one's personality. Personality changes over time, as their environment and the conditions one lives under has an influence on their personality and this doesn't have to be a great change in personality but rather it could be an unnoticeable small change.
