  1. 1. Where do you think 'you' exist?

    • I am my consciousness. That's all I know for sure.

    • I am my personality. I have never felt separate from it, except under high stress.

    • I am my personality, and consciousness is a mere byproduct of complex thought.

    • I am my consciousness, and my personality exist within my consciousness.

    • Consciousness and personality are two totally independent things.

I picked four. Consciousness, to me, is an overarching mind/soul matter that offers many possibilities for developments, outside and physical influence, and many different personalities and personality aspects, partially born from free will.

I couldn't decide between 1 and 3. Consciousness does seem like it's just an emergent thing, but I see "personality" as fluid. You express Personality Trait A, and over time you express it less and less, eventually Personality Trait A isn't really part of who you are anymore.
