I do not understand choosing a personality? I'm thinking when you walk up to someone you pick a very small part of your personality and show it to them to see a response and go from there.

Can you describe this?

Yeha, I think that's what they mean. Like they have their personality compartmentalized, not that they have multiple personalities. Let's say they chose to be goofballs with a girl because they thought she would like it but then they find she's too serious and doesn't enjoy goofball jokes at all.

Some people can alter their behavior to get a desired output. I guess it isn't something people do constantly but there might be scenarios.
