Read for : SS5757 Personality Theories and Assessment
It's one of the widely used textbooks of this field* but both the strength and weakness of Pervin is that the author would like to focus on a smaller set of theories/approaches with more coverage on modern research literature. If you have done an introductory course on psychology, few theories are new here and the presentation is ...just a standard textbook. But the addition of a hypothetical case study,Jim, and how his personality can be assessed and interpreted with different tests and perspectives are of substantial assistance to all students.
Just remember to go to the student companion site for their online quizzes.
If you prefer to read more theorists, try Feist. If you prefer to know more application, try Burger.
*The 3rd, from The Open Syllabus Project. More like the 2nd as the 1st is not exactly a textbook(Maslow's work). The other is Funder, probably one of the more engaging textbooks.
