WHAT IS PERSONALITY ?

 The sum total  of your habit is your personality.
Habit is the sum of three elements namely knowledge, skill and desire.
                                Knowledge  is  your informative status and conceptual power.

What he 'wants  to' is his desire. It is his imagination and imaginative power. The strength  of your imagination is very important. Least imaginative personality is a negative personality with least goal achievement.

Without goal the potentiality  remains unutilised or underutilised.  Hence personality development is the optimum utilisation of  one's potentiality.  Personality is the expressed ability of a person. Ability, if kept silent is good for nothing. Only an expressed ability has a social reflect.  Hence one should know to express himself in the context of a society. This expression is socially readable.  Readability is the marketability.

Learning:  Without learning  there is no personality development. Learning is a continuous process. It ends only with the end of life. Learning means change in bahaviour. This change may be positive or negative.  If a person is learning pick pocket, it  is learning but  not positive, but negative. Hence personality is developing one's  creativity.  This creativity is positive.  Positive means adding something.  NEGATIVE  means deducting something.

Gender Role:  It is very difficult to  break the gender role.   It is to go on with the socially assigned  duty. Both men and women have different role which  is socially assigned.  It is a social and cultural leaning.  Men and women are different in dress and attitude.  One cannot easily break the gender role. We may see that men and women have different dress code.  If men is wearing Saree instead of dothi or pants it is viewed as absurdity  and nuisance.  Hence personality is related to keeping a correct status  of gender role.   .  We should  learn to behave in accordance with the place, person, time, etc. Gender role is decided by the society and by the prevailing culture.  Hence it is  a social  andcultural requirement.  It is not sex itself but sex related.

Factors of personality:  Id, Ego, and super ego are the factors of personality.These  three factors should work in harmony.  There should not have  any friction between these factors.  The conflict between these three factors causes for anxiety and frustration. How to maintain harmony between these factors is a question. Id is biological instinct or internal instinct. Ego needs are based on reality principles.  Super ego is related to moral governor.  It is related to  role of consciousness.  In other words,consciousness  works as  the  moral governor.

Insight:  Insight   influences one's outlook and attitude.  Attitude decides altitude. There are atheists, materialists, spiritualists etc. One's insight is formed by his experience and learning. Insight determines the nature of personality. What he perceives decides his insight. He views the world with the light of his insight. Hence the insight  is a light of  his life.

Extrovert Personality:  One may be extrovert or introvert in his nature. An extrovert is more expressive in behaviour. Extrovert  is expressing  his need and desire more explicitly. He is more frank while behaving in a social context. His self esteem  is high with utmost confidence.  He seeks help from his context freely without hesitation and shame.  He is a proactive personality. He is assertive and always stand for his right. He does't want to abstain from his right  just to make other people happy. He always tries to make him satisfied.

Will Power:  Will power is the  power of imagination. This power of imagination sets  new goals to achieve. " Honesty is the best policy"  to enhance your power of imagination.  Willpower flourish in the root of honesty and empathy.  Hypocrisy  is the foul way of diplomacy.  It is the negative energizer. Hence will power develop in the context of empathy , sympathy, friendship and co-operation.  Only with will power you can   set bigger target for achievement.

Assertiveness  VS  inhibition:  Assertiveness is the symptom of positive personality.  Positive personality is creative personality. Be assertive means stand for  your right which you believe to be right.  You have  a strong policy ruled by  your  interest.  While nurturing your interest see that it is not the  vested interest. It should have social qualities also. Then only  you can be a  social creature. Let your social affiliation work in a positive way. It is witnessed by your social commitment. You need to sacrifice some portion your energy and power  for the sake of the society. Your life is not a isolated  phenomenon but a social one. You are part and parcel of this society. You are energizer of this universe and you get  the energy from this universe. Both are interrelated and inter dependent.
When you are abstaining from your duty or suppressing your desire and right inhibition takes place.It leads to dissatisfaction. Dissatisfied personality is negative personality.
