Personality Test! Take it : D!
http://www.personalityquiz.net/relational/reflection.htm
In relating to self-identity, what is composed of our personality?? Is it something we inherent more than have an adaptation to? Or is it something more?
I think we try to define ourselves in any way we possibly can. Taking personality tests, such as this one, aim to tell us aspects of who we are: what is important to us, if we are ready for situations, etc. But this particular one only tests actions. Is that all we need to determine our personality? I think our dreams, our perspectives, our pasts, and our ideas can be more of just thoughts rather than our actions. But can these also be the influences of our behaviors?

These I think are all important to consider when trying to figure out self. But what seems to not have come up is the question of what role does the external world play in self-identity (actually, I think Jeremy did say something about this). As to your question, if it were not for actions, I'm not sure we could know about thoughts at all. Imagine a world without any action. What would it mean to say I have thoughts in such a world? How could I even express this question in any way?
