1) 

Intellectual Process: Perception involves selection, organization,


and analysis of data from the surroundings to gain some viewpoints.
Hence, it is an intellectual process.

2) Psychological Process: Perception is based on the psychology of


individuals. Hence, it can be said that how a person acts, thinks, or feels
is influenced by the perception of his environment. 

3) Subjective Process: Two or more persons might observe the same


event differently. This depends on their ability to choose what to
understand, how to classify the information collection and analysis of the
event. Thus, perception is a subjective process.

4) Lens Providing Worldview: Perception acts as a lens because it


equips a person with a viewpoint about his surroundings and their reality.

5) Socially Connected: Every individual needs to understand the nature


of another person every now and then because the mindset of an
individual keeps on changing with time. Hence, it is said that perception
is socially connected.

6) Culturally Influenced: Views of people can be influenced by their


cultural values about the world. For example, people belonging to
different cultures speak different languages.

7) Self-Fulfilling: When we talk about person perception, both the


perceiver and the perceived are the persons, which ultimately makes the
scenario more complex. For example, during hard times, people believe
that the present situation is bad and it will become worse in the days to
come. Hence, they start behaving selfishly. They just focus on protecting
themselves and their families.
