Three interlinked concepts
Qualitative

Motivation is the energising force that activates or triggers behaviour and provides purpose, direction, and drive to that behaviour.
Personality is the unique psychological make-up of the person that drives them to unique characteristic response tendencies across similar situations.
Emotions (also called affective response) are feelings connected with stimuli (objects, people, messages, and events) that people encounter.

Personality reflects individual differences-
Each individual has a special set of inner characteristics, And is thus unique.
Some individual are highly sociable whereas some are low on sociability.
Personality is a useful concept because it enables us to categorize consumers into different groups on the basis of one or even several traits.
We all admire people who have a great personality – regardless of their age, gender or financial status
Possessing a great personality may help you do well in life

Qualitative
Quantitative
Single-trait theories
Emphasise one personality trait as especially relevant to understanding a specific set of behaviours (i.e., only focus on one aspect)
E.g., vanity, need for cognition, materialism
Multi-trait theories
Describe personality as a combined sum of several identifiable traits
E.g., the five-factor model of personality (OCEAN)

Personality is consistent and enduring
Marketers cannot change consumers personalities to conform to their products. However, if they know which personality characteristics influence specific consumer responses, they can attempt to appeal to the relevant traits inherent in their target group of consumers.
An individual's personality tends to be both consistent and enduring.
Personality is only one of a combination of factors that influence how a consumer behaves
