What are the six core domains, and how can I use them?

The six core domains of Personality 14 are Self, Relationships, Work, Emotions, Self-control, and Life Philosophy. They guide attention to your view of yourself and expectations, trust and distance in relationships, how you approach responsibilities, emotional responses, action and restraint, and the principles and values you live by.

Choose something that has mattered to you recently and ask: how do I see myself? Who is involved? What is my responsibility? What do I feel? How do I make the decision? Which value influences it? You do not have to answer every question each time; begin with the two most relevant ones. This site's six everyday topic categories serve a different purpose from the six core domains in the original framework. The topic categories help you find articles, while the domains offer perspectives for understanding how personality operates.
