Summary
Personality is one of the areas of psychology that holistically looks at a person as an individual and a complex creature. Much research has revealed that researchers attempted to establish the meaningful relationship between personality and various aspects of human behaviour. When personality is associated with its root word persona which means mask, it reflects the aspects of the self to be portrayed to, and seen by, the world. This definition suggests that there are important aspects of an individual that he/she conceals for his/her own reason and does not intend to share them with the world. One’s personality is seen to be unique and special so that it differentiates him from another person Such an aspect is called individual difference. Researches on personality gave birth to numerous personality theories that have helped us in understanding and analyzing various aspects of human personality
