What is personality?
• The combination of characteristics or qualities that form an individual’s distinctive character.- Oxford dictionary
• The dynamic organization within the individual of those psychophysical systems that determine his unique adjustments to his environment. - Gordon Allport
• Personality is the supreme realization of the innate idiosyncrasy of a living being. It is an act of courage flung in the face of life, the absolute affirmation of all that constitutes the individual, the most successful adaptation to the universal conditions of existence, coupled with the greatest possible freedom of self determination.- C.G.Jung, 1865 - 1961
The sum total of ways in which an individual reacts to and interacts with others.- Pearson Organizational Behaviour (14e) Page 127
