Introduction To Personality Development

This document discusses the concept of personality, including its components and how it is revealed. Personality is defined as the sum of a person's qualities and characteristics as shown in their behavior. It is influenced by heredity, environment, and experiences. The key components of personality include physical, intellectual, social, emotional, and value systems. Personality differences between people can be attributed to these factors. While personality is not fully revealed in one meeting, crisis situations may reveal one's true personality. Personality can be improved through self-reflection and making a conscious effort to change behaviors.
