DIVISIONS AND ASPECTS OF PERSONALITY

As above definitions show, traits and patterns of thought and emotions make up an important part of personality. Some of its other main features are:

• Consistency - Recognizable order and regularity characterize behaviour. People act in the same or similar ways in a variety of situations.

• Psychological and physiological aspect- Personality is a psychological entity and biological processes and needs also influence it.

• Influence on behaviour and action – Influence of personality is not limited to how people move in and respond to environment; it also makes them act in certain ways.

• Multiple expressions - Personality can be seen in more aspects than behaviour. It can also be seen in an individual’s thoughts, feelings, close relationships, and other social interactions
