Abraham Lincoln is often regarded as one of the countrys greatest presidents. In passing, he is commonly thought of as intelligent, diligent, and a groundbreaking leader. However, many people do not know that Abraham Lincoln suffered from chronic depression throughout his life. Despite living with this debilitating disease, Lincoln became one of the most successful and respected people in American history. It can be assumed that the personality of a person with two characteristics of such extreme juxtaposition would be a complex one.
- The dispositional perspective involves looking at personality as a series of natural traits.
- Many historical documents consistently classify Lincoln as a sufferer of Chronic Depression.
- Agreeableness is a factor that is associated with maintaining relationships, a desire to be compliant.
- Intellect is a factor associated with intelligence, imagination, openness, and creativity.
- One of the core aspects of Psychoanalytic theory is the idea of the personality being constructed id, ego, and superego.
- Another major part of psychoanalytic theory is the idea of self-protection and coping mechanisms.
