Description
Personality refers to the total quality of a person – it refers to the unique way he adjusts himself to the outside world. It covers the physical, intellectual, emotional and social aspects of the individually. Personality gains meaning only in social situations. There are two major approaches to assessment of personality – trait approach and holistic approach. In holistic approach one’s personality is assessed as a ‘whole’. Personality is operationally defined as constituting several fairly consistent traits which are identified and the individuals are assessed in each of the traits. The individual can identify his plus points and minus points. He can make the best use of his plus points and employ measures of rectifying his minus points.
