PERSONALITY BASED EDUCATION
WHY A PERSONALITY BASED EDUCATION AND COUNSELLING MODEL?
Modern education understanding puts emphasis on the importance of such educational applications that can identify individual differences and reveal personal potentials of students in order to bring up happy, healthy, productive, compatible and socially beneficial individuals. Developed on the basis of the Enneagram of Personality Model, the Personality Based Education and Counselling approach makes it possible to identify individual differences and determine to adopt a suitable education and counselling approach for these differences on the basis of the concept of personality which is inherent, remains unchanged for life and defines the perception, motivation and points of view of an individual.
At this point, the Personality Based Education and Counselling approach claims that the most essential parameter identifying individual differences is the "type of personality which expresses the underlying reason of main purposes and behaviours of individuals in their lives and organizes the whole actual, emotional and cognitive structure and constitutes the alignment/keystone of personality". This approach allows us to determine "perceptional priorities of each student in life, their psychological needs, motivations, abilities, interests and tendencies as well as their risky characteristics that are open to negativity" with an approach which places the types of personality at the centre.
