    WHAT IS PERSONALITY?

    Personality is the sum total of an individual's psycho-physical system that determine his or her
    behavior in a given environment or situation.

    for example: In day to day life we find that some people are quiet and passive, while others are
    loud and aggressive in their behaviors.

    The word 'Personality' has been derived from the latin word per sonare It means 'to speak
    through'. Originally the term denoted the masks worn by the actors in the ancient Greek dramas
    which referred to a theatrical mask worn by performers in order to either project different roles
    or disguise their identities.

    According to Hilgard, personality may be understood as the characteristic patterns of behavior


    and modes of thinking that determine a persons adjustment to the environment.

    According to Ruch personality can be described as how he understand and view himself, and his
    pattern of outer and inner measurable.

    Thus it reflects from the above definitions that personality includes both internal and external
    aspects of a person. Here external aspects refer to one's height, weight, facial features, color and
    other physical aspects and traits. One's attitude, values, learning etc are the examples of internal
    aspects of personality.

    are highly socialized and have contact with outside people in the society. They want to join other

    robbers, thieves, wicked persons etc.
