What is the meaning of personality ?
2. Definition : Kimball Young defines personality as ‘the more or less integrated body of habits., attitudes, traits and ideas of an individual, as these are externally organised into specific and general roles and statuses, and internally around self-consciousness and the concept of self and around the ideas, values and purposes, which are related to motives, roles and statuses.
3. It is clear from the above given definition that there are two aspects (external and internal) of what we call personality :
(i) Example : The individual’s acts in respect of the roles and statuses assigned to him in the group (the external aspect).
(ii) Example : Set of ideas, values and attitudes formed in respect of his roles and statuses (the internal aspect).
