Personality

== Personology ==
Personology confers a multidimensional, complex, and comprehensive approach to personality. According to [[Henry Murray|Henry A. Murray]], personology is: {{Quote|The branch of psychology which concerns itself with the study of human lives and the factors that influence their course which investigates individual differences and types of personality&nbsp;... the science of men, taken as gross units&nbsp;... encompassing "[[psychoanalysis]]" ([[Sigmund Freud|Freud]]), "[[analytical psychology]]" ([[Carl Jung|Jung]]), "[[individual psychology]]" ([[Alfred Adler|Adler]]) and other terms that stand for methods of inquiry or doctrines rather than realms of knowledge.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Explorations in personality |date=2008 |publisher=Oxford University Press |others=Murray, Henry A.

From a holistic perspective, personology studies personality as a whole, as a system, but at the same time through all its components, levels, and spheres.<ref>Murray, H.A. (1938).
