What is Personality?
Almost everyday we describe and assess the personalities of the people around us. Whether we realize it or not, these daily musings on how and why people behave as they do are similar to what personality psychologists do.
While our informal assessments of personality tend to focus more on individuals, personality psychologists instead use conceptions of personality that can apply to everyone. Personality research has led to the development of a number of theories that help explain how and why certain personality traits develop.
Components of Personality
While there are many different theories of personality, the first step is to understand exactly what is meant by the term personality. A brief definition would be that personality is made up the characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that make a person unique. In addition to this, personality arises from within the individual and remains fairly consistent throughout life.
Some of the fundamental characteristics of personality include:
•· 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.
•· Impact behaviors and actions - Personality does not just influence how we move and respond in our environment; 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 out thoughts, feelings, close relationships, and other social interactions.

There are hits and misses in both the aspects of this debate, bust as Makarand said I too believe that taking each day as it comes gives you freedom of thought and innovation. Though I do not completely disagree with the opposition, but still strongly... |
I would second Makarand with the help of the following beautiful poem by "David Harris" We take each day as it comes never knowing what we might find. Some days are filled with sunshine that brightens up our lives. Some days are filled with rain in... |
