Question

Definitions of personality by different authors

Answer 1

Different psychologists have defined personality in different ways. We shall discuss a few definitions. We may define personality as the individual social stimulus value. According to this the personality of an individual refers to the behaviour and the physical appearance of an individual and also how an individual impresses upon others by his behaviour. However the judgement of others may be wrong because the behaviour of an individual towards others varies from person to person and from time to time. Therefore it is wrong to judge a personality of an individual in terms of social stimulus value.
