Personality:

Personality is a dynamic concept which explains in detail the growth and development of the whole psychological system of a person. It can be termed as the sum total of ways in which a particular individual reacts and interacts with other persons.

Personality is measured in many ways such as identifying if the personality is heredity or environment. Heredity is the factors that are determined at conception. The approach to heredity states that the personality of an individual is ultimately due to the genes present in the chromosomes. Environment is the locality at which a person grows or spends the most time that determines their personality.

  • Shyness.
  • Aggressiveness.
  • Submissiveness.
  • Laziness.
  • Ambitious.
