What does it mean when people say you have a nice or bad personality? Personality is a mirror of what you do and speak. Essentially, your personality defines who you are. Your behaviour reflects your personality and informs how different you are from others. A common saying in field of personality psychology is; “Some things change; some things stay the same.” According to Allport (1961), “Personality is a dynamic organisation, inside the person, of psychophysical systems that create the person’s characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors.” The continuities, consistencies and stabilities of personality traits and dispositions over time define personality development (Larsen & Buss, 2008).
Personality
Personality, a characteristic way of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Personality embraces moods, attitudes, and opinions and is most clearly expressed in interactions with other people. It includes behavioral characteristics, both inherent and acquired, that distinguish one person from another and that can be observed in people’s relations to the environment and to the social group.
