Understanding Farm Personalities: Why We Act as We Do

We all have PERSONALITY. Each person is born with personality tendencies that can somewhat predict behaviors and tend to become more refined as aging and maturity occurs. Knowing your personality tendencies and that of others, has reportedly benefited many farm couple and family relationships by helping identify and manage personality differences. People can learn to gravitate more toward personality strengths and positive thoughts, attributes, and emotions, as well as to mitigate personality weaknesses and negative thoughts, attributes, and emotion.
