“You spend a tremendous amount of your time engaging with other people. You need to understand what they’re like, and you need to understand what you’re like. People are actually quite different. If you know what the differences are, that means you can cooperate with them better, and compete with them better, and all of that’s positive.”

Dr. Peterson argues that personalities are evolved solutions to the problem of a highly complex world. Our personalities are the filters of our perception, cognition, and motivation influencing our actions in the world.
LECTURE 2
This lecture introduces the five-factor model, which will form the basis of the course.
“The concept of grit, for example, is essentially the same as conscientiousness, meaning it doesn’t measure anything you can’t get from conscientiousness. The concept of self-esteem is positive emotion (extraversion) minus negative emotion (neuroticism).”
LECTURE 3
Learn about the first of the Big Five personality traits: Extraversion. Extraversion is responsible for our positive emotions.
Our positive and negative emotional systems tell us how happy we should be if things are going well and how upset we should be when things are going wrong.

This lecture introduces the personality dimension of neuroticism, which describes a person’s tendency to experience negative emotion.
Dr. Peterson discusses the consequences of excessive negative emotion, how negative emotion manifests in childhood, and strategies for overcoming depression and anxiety.
LECTURE 5
This lecture is about the personality trait agreeableness. High agreeableness is associated with maternal care, while low agreeableness is linked with competitive behaviour. Is one better than the other?
“There is an obvious language bias that makes it sound like being agreeable is better, but there are pronounced advantages and disadvantages to being at any point on the spectrum.”
