DWQA QuestionsCategory: Human PotentialA viewer asks: “GetWisdom has suggested there are 7 soul profiles of attributes. Psychology has identified a group of five primary traits (habitual behavior patterns) used to study personality: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism. Each trait represents a range, so someone could have a higher or lower amount of the trait in their personality. The five personality dimensions seem to some degree to predict social functioning and life outcomes. But in what ways do soul profiles relate to personality traits? To what extent do these ideas help understand the effect of traits and soul profiles on life outcomes such as fulfilling work, romantic relationships, etc?”

What we would say, categorically, is that soul attributes are the defining factors in the makeup of an individual about each and every aspect of importance for understanding who they are, how they think, their behavior, and their choices about everything important. The soul attributes are fundamental determinants of the soul makeup in their distribution and ratios, and that is what the soul attribute profiles are based on, in being able to categorize, in a general way, types of people and the roles they end up playing in society. We are not a fan of what psychologists do to begin with, because so much of what they are focused on are only the most superficial layer of human makeup and they have many blind spots still, in not recognizing important principles and in disregarding spirituality as an important aspect of human makeup and purpose for being. So we think these personality traits are interesting up to a point, but will not take people much further in a deeper and more practical way, to gain a true understanding of what makes people human nor why they are divine. The fact psychology has few practical, robust, solutions for people's mental and emotional problems is a testament to the poverty of ideas they have to work with. One analogy we could use would be that these traits represent the tip of an iceberg only, as they will only offer a mere beginning in truly understanding human nature.
