Abstraction:
Personality is the sum total of the qualities and characteristics of a person as
shown in her manner of walking, talking, dressing, and her attitudes, interests, and
ways of reacting to other people. It refers to all the factors within the person that
influence his characteristic ways of behaving, thinking, and feeling. Personality is
your image to others.
Being pleasing and attractive in appearance is only one aspect of personality.
In general, the following are the aspects of personality.

1. Physical. This includes the mode of dressing, manner of walking, posture

body build, health, complexion, and facial expression.
2. Intellectual. How a person talks and what she talks about is what matters in
the intellectual component of personality.
3. Social. Good manners, correct manners are included in this aspect of
personality. To do the right thing at the right time, to act in the proper manner,
 to get along well with others – these are all parts of the social sphere of
personality.
4. Emotional. This component includes a person’s likes or dislikes, whether
he/she is outgoing or shy, whether he/she is calm or nervous, and whether
he/she loses his/her temper easily or “keeps her cool”. Personality problems,
such as how to stay mentally healthy or how to avoid mental disorders are
some problems that are emotional in nature.
5. Value System. This includes a person’s attitudes, values, beliefs, and
philosophy in life. This aspect is referred to as character. It is shown in the
way we judge whether our actions and the actions of others are right or
wrong.

We are all different because of three (3) factors: (1)heredity,(2)environment,

(3)experiences.
Our Heredity – We are born with a set of genes and chromosomes which
inherit from our forefathers and our parents. These set the limits to our potential. This
potential is achieved tothe fullest by the proper use of environment – experiences
over the years, especially our interaction with other people.
The Environment – This consists of your family, school, church, social
groups, and other groups with whom we interact from the very beginning. Each
group puts pressure on us and we behave in certain ways as a result of being with
these groups. Our behavior changes with each situation and with the people we are
with. We behave differently when we are with our friends than when we are with our
parents, teachers, and other older than us.
Our Experiences – This consist of everything that we do or get in touch with,
everything we got in short, everything that we are exposed to in our lifetime, whether
physical, emotional, or social experiences.

Even though much of our personality is set early in life, experiences in later
life do have an influence on our behavior. Sometimes an event such as an
experience of success or failure may bring about drastic changes in personality
patterns.
Fortunately, personality can be improved. Charm, popularity, glamour – these
are only a part of personality.
Remember, you are the architect of your own personality. The building blocks
of your personality structure contain diversities of experiences. The more you get
involved in the world and the more you accept its challenges, the greater will be the
opportunities to test out what you believe to be true bout yourself and to build your
personality.
In improving anything, there are usually four (4) steps to follow:
1. Realize that improvement is needed.
2. Have a strong motive or desire to improve.
3. Take an inventory or make a checklist of the strong and weak points, or what
is to be improved, and
4. Have a step-by-step plan for improvement.

If you feel that you are perfect and need no improvement, then you cannot be
helped. But if you can say to yourself that you can stand some improvement and
have a strong desire to improve, and then you can go on to steps 3 and 4. After you
have taken stock of yourself, set a schedule for self-improvement. At the end of this
course, recheck to see whether you have succeeded in improving yourself.

The study of the human personality could very well be one of the most significant
studies for you not only now but in the future as well. For it is through understanding
of your own personality and the personalities of your fellowmen that will spell the
difference between success and failure in your dealings with them. An understanding
of your personality and of others’ can make difference between satisfactory and
unsatisfactory adjustment.
Most of us see only some small aspects of true personalities of those around us.
We only see the image that is seen on the surface, which may not really represent
the entire personality of the individual.
Mistakes in evaluating and judging personalities are often one of the major
causes for the interpersonal problems involved in marriage dating, business
associations or relations between friends. The study of personality should therefore
result in our attempts to improve our own personality as well as to understand others
so that we can adjust to them and have harmonious relations with them.

Application:
Be honest in answering the following questions below.

1. How are you going to turn your weakness/weaknesses into

strength/strengths?
2. Write your personal reflection on the quote of Aristotle: “KNOWING
YOURSELF IS THE BEGINNING OF ALL WISDOM.”
3. What do you think is the purpose of your life?
4. If knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom, then what are your values?

Closure:
I hope this lesson certainly helps you in knowing who you are.
Congratulations for looking into yourself with your own eye. Get ready for the next
lesson. ☺
