The following was written as part of an assignment for class on Thursday night.

‘The precise definition of personality has been a point of discussion amongst many different theorists within many different disciplines since the beginning of civilization. Personality can be defined as “the distinctive and characteristic patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior that define an individual’s personal style and influence his or her interactions with the environment” extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and culture. I chose the factor model of Neuroticism, which, on the high scores includes a tendency to experience unpleasant emotions easily, such as anger, anxiety, depression, or vulnerability; sometimes called emotional instability. Jacob in the Book of Genesis exhibits this trait quite well, whereas Esau would score low on Neuroticism and high on extraversion.

When dealing with is brother Esau, he would always appear to be jealous of him. Esau was the older brother to Jacob after the Lord said to Rebekah, “two nations are in your womb, and two peoples within you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger” Genesis 25:23.  Esau was always the skilled one where Jacob had the high ego. One day, Esau came in from the field hungry and Jacob was cooking dinner. When Esau asked for something to eat, Jacob demanded his birthright, Genesis 25:29.

Throughout this chapter of Genesis, Jacob’s nature is shown to be Neuroticism. His neuroticism was shown even as an adult. In Genesis 29, Jacob met Rachel and fell in love with her from the moment he set is eyes on her. Rachel had an older sister Leah. “Leah’s eye’s were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance” Genesis 29:17. Jacob worked for Laban, Rachel’s father for seven years. After the seven years, Jacob wanted to marry Rachel. On that day, Laban brought Leah to Jacob and his emotions was getting the best of him.
