Not entirely true. Human behavior boils down to the Big Five[1] and that's what we call personality. However, there is another thing which we generally refer to as "personal philosophy", or something of the sort. In each of us there are four internal voices: sensation, rational thought, emotion and intuition. When you choose to listen to one or more of these voices you get a philosophical school. Plato is mainly intuitive with a touch of emotion. Aristotle is mainly rational with a touch of intuition. They're both western philosophers because eastern philosophy focuses a lot on the senses. Here are some pure philosophies for each of the four voices, so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about: * Sensation: Taoism * Rational thought: Rationalism * Emotion: Romanticism * Intuition: Mysticism However, philosophies are rarely pure, which is why there are so many of them.
