Semantics, but might be important. As far as I am aware what you are describing is identity, while personality is something more robust. You identify with things in a relative manner and you do things in a personal way.
- blueflow 2y agoI'm not sure if identity and personality are substantially different.
- phoe-krk 2y agoIdentity is a collection of beliefs (I identify as X, often context-free/in all contexts), whereas personality is a collection of functions (I behave like X, usually in a given context).
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoIdentity is a collection of beliefs that are considered a fundamental part of who you are. It is quite possible for one person to have certain beliefs, and have those beliefs be part of their identity, while another has the same beliefs but does not have them as part of their identity.
- fluoridation 2y agoI thought identity is who a person is, while personality is what a person is like.
- WalterSear 2y agoIdentity is who a person sees themselves to be.
- fluoridation 2y agoSo what's an identity card? ;)
- WalterSear 2y agoA malapropism. The term identity card is usually used to refer to an identification card.
- fluoridation 2y agoHow is it incorrect, when "identification" means "the act of establishing something's identity"?
- NoMoreNicksLeft 2y ago> Identity is a collection of beliefs Why would anyone over the age of 7 or so have beliefs? Are you all so good at life that you play it with a handicap, like some expert golfer slumming it with us losers?
- anon7725 2y agoI’m not exactly sure what you’re saying here, but I will note that even if you think you’re the world’s greatest Spock-like rationalist, you still have beliefs.
- carapace 2y agoOne interesting and useful model is Dilts': behaviour capabilities beliefs values identity Each level structures the level before it.
- shakna 2y agoTo put it in tech terms, identity is the class - the set of values and fundamentals, and personality is the object - the circumstantial behaviours that result.

- groestl 2y agoThis is confusing to say the least, especially with the "identity" concept in programming being overloaded.
- Swizec 2y agoPersonality is the factory of identity. My personality enjoys the meditative aspect of long distance sports. People who observe these behaviors call me a runner (identity). I don’t consider myself a runner but cant argue that when you see me running for 2 hours, saying “hey look a runner” is a reasonable thing to say.
