Characteristics of Fully Functioning Persons

According to Rogers, the fully functioning person is the desired result of psychological development and social evolution. He described several characteristics of fully functioning person that are bellow-

(A) Awareness of all experience: Fully functioning person exhibit an awareness of all experience. No experience is distorted or denied, all of it filters through to the self. In other word, this person is aware of all their experiences
(B) Freshness of appreciation for all experience: They live fully and richly each moment, all experiences are potentially fresh and new. Experiences cannot be predicated or anticipated but are participated in fully rather than merely observed.
(C) Trust in one’s own behavior and feeling: They trust in themselves, where no information is threatening; all information can be perceived, evaluated, and weighed accurately.
(D) Freedom of choice, without inhibition: A fully functioning person feels a sense of freedom to make choices without constraints or inhibitions. They do not feel compelled, either by themselves or by others, to behave in only one way.
(E) Creativity and spontaneity: They are creative and live constructively and adaptively as environmental conditions change. Allied with creativity is spontaneity. They are flexible and seek new experience.
(F) Continual need to grow, to strive to maximize one’s potential: The fully functioning person may face difficulties as they learn to grow as they are actualizing. Actualizing refers that the self is always in progress, striving, growing, spontaneous, and challenged and stimulated instead of settling for the familiar.
