personality

 Often people use term personality as an easy way of explaining person’s behavior.

Someone says that “she is a good saleswoman because she is extrovert or my uncle is hard to get along with cause he has an authoritarian personality”.

Actually the concept of personality doesn’t explain anything bout the person’s behavior. Instead, the concept of personality is descriptive one. It relates to specific behavioral traits of an individual.

It describes the individual’s specific adoption to his or her cultural surroundings.

We might define personality as the basic organization of people that determines the uniqueness of their interaction with themselves, with other and with nohuman aspect s of their environment.

The basic organization refers to structure of personality how it is put together and the relationships among the various parts, it concerns the total physical , intellectual, and imotional structure of the individual.

The personality structure determines the uniqueness of the individual’s interaction. Now two personalities are alike.

All persons have their own way of interacting with themselves and with their environment and the way they interact with others.

Human interaction always brings bout some change in the individual. This change takes place very slowly. It is generally not noticeable from day to day.

Nevertheless the personality is charging constantly

Personalities do not all charge at the same rate. For ex, the child change very rapidly in both physical and intellectual aspects of personality.

However  every personality undergoes constant, gradual change as the individual interacts with the others

The personality of individual their basic organization is blending of all the factors present in their particular social situation with whatever traits they inherit biologically.

This bring us to one age old question with
