PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT
S. LAKSHMANAN, M.Phil(Psy), M.A.(Psy), PGDBA., DCL.,
Psychologist (Govt. Regd)
Personality refers to the long-standing traits and patterns that boost individuals to
constantly think, feel, and behave in specific ways. Our personality is what makes
us unique individuals. Each person has a personal pattern of enduring, long-term
characteristics and a manner in which he or she interacts with other individuals
and the world around them. Our personalities are thought to be long term, stable,
and not easily changed. The word personality comes from the Latin word persona.
In the ancient world, a persona was a mask worn by an actor. While we tend to
think of a mask as being worn to hide one’s identity, the theatrical mask was
originally used to either represent or project a specific personality trait of a
character

Definition
Definition of ‘personality’ has been provided in terms of many
variables such as the outward appearance, one’s role in life, the
totality of one’s qualities, characteristics and for attributes, one’s
general behaviour pattern, the way one really is and several
more. Though there are many definitions that are currently
available, no single definition would be acceptable to all
psychologists.
In short Personality is. . .
Personality is the entire mental organization of a
human being at any stage of development. It embraces
every phase of human character, intellect, temperament,
skill, morality and every attitude that has been built up
the course of one’s life
Nature of Personality
Personality is the key to adjustment and mental
health. A healthy, well developed and well-integrated
personality is a guarantee of effective adjustments

• Unique combination of inner characteristics –
• No two individuals are exactly alike
• Venturesome (scuba diving, rock climbing) to some others
who are not venturesome.
• Personality allows marketers to divide people into different
groups based on their traits.
Nature of Personality
• Personality Can Change
• May be altered by major life events – birth of a child, death
of a loved one, personal tragedies – accident, health
problem, divorce, significant career promotion.
• Personality changes can also be part of maturing process.
What is ‘Development’?
Steps or changes in growth, advancement
and improvement
Growth vs Development

Understanding the Johari Window model
A Johari window is a psychological tool created by Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham
in 1955. It’s a simple and useful tool for understanding and training:
self-awareness
1. personal development
2. improving communications
3. interpersonal relationships
4. group dynamics
5. team development; and
6. inter group relationships
It is one of the few tools out there that has an emphasis on “soft skills” such as
behaviour, empathy, co-operation, inter group development and interpersonal
development. It’s a great model to use because of its simplicity and also because it
can be applied in a variety of situations and environments.
Understanding the Johari Window model
The balance between the four quadrants can change. You might want to
tell someone an aspect of your life that you had previously kept hidden.
For example, maybe you are not comfortable contributing ideas in large
groups. This would increase your open area and decrease your hidden
area.
It is also possible to increase your open area by asking for feedback from
people. When feedback is given honestly to you it can reduce the size of
your blind area. Maybe you interrupt people before they have finished
making their point which can cause frustration. Alternatively people may
always want to talk to you because you are a good listener. Sometimes
you don’t realise these aspects of your character until it is pointed out.
