Question

If there are certain events or "triggers" that could cause a certain personality to exude or come forward. Would it be best to find the one that is best suited towards a certain behavior? Would a consistent mode of behavior postitively reinforce the use of one personality over the next?

Answer 1

Behaviour is usually an outcome of the reinforcement and depends on an environmental context where it emerges explicitly over other behavior. The triggers and certain events can be used as a source of reinforcement to find personality best suited towards a certain behavior. Triggers can also be constituted by the education which shapes a personality to emerge leading to a particular behavior. Thus, researchers have created personality types through the isolation or triggering of such events. A consistent model of behavior to a good degree positively reinforces the use of one personality over the next because of the reinforcement model that works through reward and punishment. It also suggests that behavior is closely associated with personality and influences each other. Example: Going to school everyday will develop a consitent mode of behavoir which in turn reinforces the use of one personality over the next.
