Personality by Neeraj Bhandari ( Surkhet.Nepal )Neeraj Bhandari
Personality is defined as stable patterns of behavior and traits that influence how a person interacts with their environment. It has both internal components like thoughts and feelings as well as external components like appearance and behaviors. Personality is shaped by biological factors like genetics and physical traits, as well as environmental influences like family, culture, and social situations. Two major theories discussed are psychoanalytic theory, which views personality as emerging from unconscious desires and interactions between the id, ego, and superego, and trait theory, which describes personality in terms of measurable traits. Understanding personality can help with tasks like job matching, training, motivation, and management.
