Personality: Definition and Its Components

Personality may be defined as the sum total of the qualities and characteristics of
a person shown in her manner of walking, talking, dressing, and her ways of reacting to
other people.
It refers to all factors within the person that influence his characteristic ways of
behaving, thinking, and feeling. It is your image on others.
Once others have decided on the nature of our personalities, they tend to treat us
accordingly.
Often the judgment is based on a first impression and does not change even though
interpretation was erroneous and our behavior has changed dramatically. This unchanging
opinion of others based only on first general impression is known as the halo effect.
For example, during the first meeting with a applicant, he makes an inappropriate
remark to the interviewer, the interviewer labels the applicant as wise guy for the rest of
the screening process even though the applicant could have been an ideal worker.
People often fall in love and marry because they believe that their personalities
match well. They enjoy the same activities and their opinions, interests, and values are
similar.
Personalities change, however, hence we all see unhappily married couples who,
unfortunately, have not grown or changed together.
Components of Personality
1. Physical
This includes the mode of dressing, manner of walking, posture, body build, health, complexion,
and facial expression.
2. Intellectual
How a person talks and what she talks about is what matters in the intellectual component of
personality, he must develop his intellect or brain.
3. Social
Good manners, correct manners are included in this aspect of personality.
To do the right thing at the right time, to act in the proper manner, to get along well with others
these are all parts of the social sphere of personality.
4. Emotional
This component includes a persons likes or dislikes, whether he/she is outgoing or shy, whether
he/she is clam or nervous, and whether he/she loses his/her temper easily or keeps her
cool. Personality problems such as how to stay mentally healthy or how to avoid mental
disorders are some problems that are emotional in nature.
5. Value System
This includes a persons attitudes, values, beliefs, and philosophy in life. This aspect is referred to
as CHARACTER. It is shown in the way we judge whether out actions and the actions of
others are right or wrong.
