7. PERSONALITY
The word personality itself stems
from the Latin word “persona”, which
refers to a theatrical mask worn by
performers in order to either project
different roles or disguise their
identities.

8. At its most basic, personality is the characteristic patterns of
thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that make a person unique. It is
believed that personality arises from within the individual and remains
fairly consistent throughout life.
It is a relatively stable set of characteristics that influences an
individual’s behavior
The sum total of ways in which an individual reacts and interacts with
others.
Concepts

9. Personality is 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.
Concepts

10. Definitions
“ Personality is the sum of activities that
can be discovered by actual observations
over a long enough period of time to give
reliable information.”
“Personality is the
dynamic organization within the individual
of those psychophysical systems that
determine his unique adjustment to his
environment.”
“Personality is the sum total of all
biological innate dispositions, impulses,
tendencies, appetites, and instincts of the
individual and the dispositions and
tendencies acquired by experience.”
While there are many different definitions
of personality, most focus on the pattern
of behaviors and characteristics that can
help predict and explain a person's
behavior.
M. Prince (1929) Conclusion
J.B. Watson (1930) Allport (1948)

11. Consistency: There is generally a recognizable order and regularity to
behaviors. Essentially, people act in the same ways or similar ways in a
variety of situations.
Psychological and physiological: Personality is a psychological construct,
but research suggests that it is also influenced by biological processes
and needs.
Behaviors and actions: Personality not only influences how we move and
respond in our environment, but it also causes us to act in certain ways.
Multiple expressions: Personality is displayed in more than just behavior.
It can also be seen in our thoughts, feelings, close relationships, and
other social interactions.

19. Alport’s Theory
Gordon Willard Allport (1897-1967) was a
pioneering psychologist often referred to as one
of the founders of personality psychology.
In 1936, psychologist Gordon
Allport found that one English-
language dictionary alone contained
more than 4,000 words describing
different personality traits. He
categorized these traits into three
levels:
• Cardinal traits
• Central Traits
• Secondary Traits

25. CONCLUSION
The study of personality is a broad topic yet by analyzing
the different types and characteristics of personality, we
can have deeper understanding of the people around us. We
will be able to appreciate the unique qualities of each other
and accept our differences. We will be able to love
ourselves and love others knowing that each one is a
unique and one of a kind. This can be applied both to our
learners our co-workers, our family, our friends and the
people around us,.
