Characteristics of personality
Personality is the characteristic sets of behaviors, cognitions, and emotional patterns that evolve
from biological and environmental factors.
Personality refers to internal as well as external qualities, some of which are quite general. But it
is unique to each individual. It is not possible for any other individual to reproduce or imitate the
qualities of the personality of the individual.
Every individual has certain feeling as well as other permanent traits and qualities. Personality is
mainly composed of the persistent or permanent qualities that exhibit themselves in form of
social behaviour and attempt to make adjustment with the environment.
Personality represents the process of learning. It takes place in reference to the environment. We
do not acquire all the traits of personality all at once.
8. Personality is greatly influenced by social interactions
In personality various qualities are not put together. They are, in fact, integrated into one. This
integration is nothing but a result of organisation which may be different from man to man. The
behaviour of a person directed to one particular individual may differ from the behaviour of
another person. That is why; we put the condition of suitable environment. This suitability is
concerned with individual specificity.
