Definitions:
 The term personality has been defined differently by
different psychologists.
 Watson: Personality is the sum of activities that can be
discovered by actual observation over a long enough
period of time to give reliable information.
 Watson: personality is everything that we do.
 Personality is the sum total of all the biological innate
dispositions, impulses, tendencies, appetites, and
instinct of the individual and the dispositions and
tendencies acquired by experience.
 Allport: 'personality traits may be considered as so
many important dimensions in which people may be
found to differ."
 Allport: Personality is a dynamic organisation within the
individual of those psychophysical systems that determine
his unique adjustment to his environment. It recognizes the
changing nature of personality," a dynamic organisation". It
focuses on the inner aspect rather than on superficial
manifestations. If the same time it establishes the basis for
social stimulus value of personality (unique adjustment to
the environment).
 Morton Prince. 'Personality is the sum total of all the
biological innate dispositions, impulses, tendencies,
aptitudes and instincts of the individual and the acquired
disposition and tendencies".
 Symonds has defined personality as "the portrait on
landscape of the organism working together in all its
phases."
Gestalt School: “Personality 'as a pattern of
configuration produced by the integrated
functioning of an individual".
J.P. Guford: "An individual's personality, then
is his unique pattern of traits.... A trait is any
distinguishable, relatively enduring way in
which one individual differs from another."

individuals are loose" and "everyone is expected to look
after him/herself and his/her immediate family“

groups, often extended families which continue protecting
them in exchange for unquestioning loyalty“
Most western countries are individualistic, while less
developed countries and most Asian countries are
collectivistic.

rather modest and peaceful, and show considerable
caring for others - i.e. feminine values
In other societies, assertive and competitive - even
aggressive - values are the most admired - i.e.

relatively modest and caring, but can often show a
degree of assertiveness and competitive qualities as
well

avoided at all costs

and security measures, and... a belief in absolute Truth.“
People in these cultures tend to be more emotional and nervous
In other societies, people are "more tolerant of opinions different
from what they are used to; they try to have as few rules as possible,
and... are relativist and allow many currents to flow side by side.“
In these societies, people tend to be more contemplative and tend
not to express emotion openly

Biographies on personality
Improves language: communication and expression
of ideas refined thoughts and activities
Widens our mental horizons: travel mentally, explore
places, views and emotions through words, individuals,
customs, traditions, laws, and a lot more of characters.
The more we read, the more we know. The more things
we know, we try to achieve more out of life.
great personalities have drawn inspiration from
books
Improves our character: Reading is like exercise
for your brain. makes you think creatively. You
draw up visuals and imagine scenes from lines of
words written in a prose. And most often, whether
we like it or not, we compare ourselves to the
characters in a book. So be assured a good book
with virtuous characters is going turn you into a
better person sooner or later.
Converse with the author: Each time we read
a book it is the author himself who is speaking to
us through his words.
 Even years, decades and centuries after their
deaths they still continue to live and teach
lessons of life through their writings. Books are
immortal
They survive the tests of time to enlighten our
minds.
Makes us feel good: Books are the source of
knowledge. With knowledge comes confidence.
And so reading makes us feel more confident.
We feel expertise in a subject from continuous
reading. Doesn't matter if you have read only
novels or short stories. Your grammar and
vocabulary would have improved even without
your knowledge.
shapes your thoughts and beliefs. Whether
you’re conscious of it or not, chances are your
belief system is based on social norms that
have evolved through centuries of history.
What you think are independent ideas may
very well be philosophies created by the great
thinkers of previous generations.
Consider thoughts on romantic love, truth,
democracy, and freedom.
Are your ideas your own? Or are your thoughts
dominated by an outside cultural influence?
ideas developed over time and awareness of how
they affect us
may choose to accept or reject the current way of
thinking
will become cognizant, ability make a decision
for ourselves
8. Influence of genius The great books were
written by some of the best minds in history. By
reading them, your own mind can expand and
your thoughts reach a higher plane
Reading the great books may not turn us into
Platos and Einsteins. But, their words can bring
out our strengths.
9. Reading the classics can give you a better
understanding of the world
10. Escape from the narrow box of
specialization. Focusing your expertise on just one
subject may be a smart way to earn a living. But, by
shutting yourself off from a more extensive world of
knowledge, you limit your ability to excel. In order
to truly thrive in any field, people need a broad
understanding of the world and how it works.
11. Learn from past mistakes. By ignoring
the discoveries recorded in the great books, we
are bound to make the same mistakes – both on a
societal level and in our own lives.
 Everyone has to forge his own path in this life.
But, why not see how others conquered the same
challenges? There’s no point to wander lost in a
wilderness when dozens of guidebooks are freely
available.
12. Improve your ability to comprehend.
Although the great books weren’t written for
specialists and experts, they can be a tough read.
Reading comfort-zone can do wonders for your
comprehension.
14. Find your own answers to life’s big questions. By
following themes in the great books, you’ll realize that
certain topics are discussed over and over again
throughout history: “What is our destiny? What is a good
life? How can we achieve a good society? What can we
learn to guide us through the mazes of the future from
history, philosophy and religion, literature, and the fine
arts?”
won’t give you an ultimate answer to the big questions.
But, will offer diverse views and possibilities. By
understanding the conclusions that great thinkers have
come to about these questions, you’ll come closer to
settling on answers that works for you.
15. Develop a spirit of inquiry. Too many
people are satisfied about their lives, not
concerning themselves with the ideas that have
made the world what it is today. Reading the
great books can help you foster your natural
curiosity and desire to learn even more about the
world.
All the discoveries, thoughts, and ideas of the
people who came before us are meaningless
unless we care enough to explore them.
Technology and personality
Thinking: The capacity to reflect, reason, and
draw conclusions based on our experiences,
knowledge, and insights makes us human. It has
enabled us to communicate, create, build,
advance, and become civilized.
All new technologies are shaping the way we
think. value and cost of these advancements in
terms of how it influences our children’s ability
to think.
Technology can be both beneficial and harmful to
different ways in which children think.
technology is actually wiring the brain in ways
very different than in previous generations.
Reading encouraged our brains to be focused and
imaginative. In contrast, the rise of the Internet is
strengthening our ability to scan information rapidly
and efficiently.
Effects of technology on children are complicated,
with both benefits and costs. technology helps/hurts
= specific technology use and frequency
Attention: Attention is the gateway to thinking. Without it,
other aspects of thinking can’t occur.
In past generations children directed considerable amounts of
their time to reading, which offered few distractions and required
intense and sustained attention, imagination, and memory.
The advent of television altered that attention by offering
children visual stimuli, fragmented attention, and little need for
imagination. Then the Internet was invented and children were
thrust into a vastly different environment in which, because
distraction is the norm, consistent attention is impossible,
imagination is unnecessary, and memory is inhibited.
Assertions: Internet use reduces the deep thinking that
leads to true creativity.
Hyperlinks and overstimulation means that the brain
must give most of its attention to short-term decisions.
vast availability of information on the World Wide Web
overwhelms the brain and hurts long-term memory.
Availability of stimuli leads to a very large cognitive
load, which makes it difficult to remember anything.
Internet users are impatient and are likely to get more
impatient with time, people become less patient and less
able to delay gratification and work towards longer-term
rewards.
Brain power: Internet helps boost brain power for
middle-aged and older people.
Productivity: One of the most widely debated effects of
social networking has been its influence on productivity.
In many schools and workplaces, Facebook and MySpace
are blocked because employers believe their employees
will be distracted and unfocused on the sites.
Effects of social networking and behavior: Social
networking could be potentially harmful to people. They
can destroy privacy, Internet also makes people more self-
satisfied and risk averse.
Effects of anonymity: Interacting on the Internet
mostly does not involve "physical" interactions with
another person and therefore easily leads to a person
feeling free to act differently online, as well as unrestraint
in civility and minimization of authority, etc.
People who are socially anxious are more likely to use
electronic communication as their only means of
communication
Escapism: Ease of access to the Internet can increase
escapism in which a user uses the Internet as an "escape"
from the perceived unpleasant or banal aspects of
daily/real life.

  • 30. great personalities have drawn inspiration from books Improves our character: Reading is like exercise for your brain. makes you think creatively. You draw up visuals and imagine scenes from lines of words written in a prose. And most often, whether we like it or not, we compare ourselves to the characters in a book. So be assured a good book with virtuous characters is going turn you into a better person sooner or later.
  • 31. Converse with the author: Each time we read a book it is the author himself who is speaking to us through his words.  Even years, decades and centuries after their deaths they still continue to live and teach lessons of life through their writings. Books are immortal They survive the tests of time to enlighten our minds.

By ignoring the discoveries recorded in the great books, we are bound to make the same mistakes – both on a societal level and in our own lives.  Everyone has to forge his own path in this life. But, why not see how others conquered the same challenges? There’s no point to wander lost in a wilderness when dozens of guidebooks are freely available.
  • 38. 12. Improve your ability to comprehend. Although the great books weren’t written for specialists and experts, they can be a tough read. Reading comfort-zone can do wonders for your comprehension.
  • 39. 14. Find your own answers to life’s big questions. By following themes in the great books, you’ll realize that certain topics are discussed over and over again throughout history: “What is our destiny? What is a good life?

What can we learn to guide us through the mazes of the future from history, philosophy and religion, literature, and the fine arts?” won’t give you an ultimate answer to the big questions. But, will offer diverse views and possibilities. By understanding the conclusions that great thinkers have come to about these questions, you’ll come closer to settling on answers that works for you.
  • 40. 15. Develop a spirit of inquiry. Too many people are satisfied about their lives, not concerning themselves with the ideas that have made the world what it is today. Reading the great books can help you foster your natural curiosity and desire to learn even more about the world. All the discoveries, thoughts, and ideas of the people who came before us are meaningless unless we care enough to explore them.
  • 41. Technology and personality Thinking: The capacity to reflect, reason, and draw conclusions based on our experiences, knowledge, and insights makes us human.

  • 42. Technology can be both beneficial and harmful to different ways in which children think. technology is actually wiring the brain in ways very different than in previous generations. Reading encouraged our brains to be focused and imaginative. In contrast, the rise of the Internet is strengthening our ability to scan information rapidly and efficiently. Effects of technology on children are complicated, with both benefits and costs. technology helps/hurts = specific technology use and frequency
  • 43. Attention: Attention is the gateway to thinking. Without it, other aspects of thinking can’t occur. In past generations children directed considerable amounts of their time to reading, which offered few distractions and required intense and sustained attention, imagination, and memory. The advent of television altered that attention by offering children visual stimuli, fragmented attention, and little need for imagination. Then the Internet was invented and children were thrust into a vastly different environment in which, because distraction is the norm, consistent attention is impossible, imagination is unnecessary, and memory is inhibited.
  • 44. Assertions: Internet use reduces the deep thinking that leads to true creativity. Hyperlinks and overstimulation means that the brain must give most of its attention to short-term decisions. vast availability of information on the World Wide Web overwhelms the brain and hurts long-term memory. Availability of stimuli leads to a very large cognitive load, which makes it difficult to remember anything. Internet users are impatient and are likely to get more impatient with time, people become less patient and less able to delay gratification and work towards longer-term rewards.
  • 45. Brain power: Internet helps boost brain power for middle-aged and older people. Productivity: One of the most widely debated effects of social networking has been its influence on productivity. In many schools and workplaces, Facebook and MySpace are blocked because employers believe their employees will be distracted and unfocused on the sites. Effects of social networking and behavior: Social networking could be potentially harmful to people. They can destroy privacy, Internet also makes people more self- satisfied and risk averse.
  • 46. Effects of anonymity: Interacting on the Internet mostly does not involve "physical" interactions with another person and therefore easily leads to a person feeling free to act differently online, as well as unrestraint in civility and minimization of authority, etc. People who are socially anxious are more likely to use electronic communication as their only means of communication Escapism: Ease of access to the Internet can increase escapism in which a user uses the Internet as an "escape" from the perceived unpleasant or banal aspects of daily/real life.
