Personality is the sum of the behavioural traits that make a person unique and distinctly recognizable. The term <\/span>personality<\/span><\/i> has acquired great popularity in the current social discourse. Though very few really understand its true import, personality is that slightly unfathomable trait which we look for in every person we meet- the people we interact with, the colleagues we work with, the friends we make, the teachers who teach us, the prospective employees an employer looks for and the prospective life partner we desire. But the billion dollar question remains as to what personality and how we can go about improving it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before delving into it in depth, let\u2019s try to understand: Personality is NOT a well-dressed, charming person, though being so can certainly help. On the other hand, it means the typical manner in which we perceive the world, think about it and act \u2013 all these things make us a unique personality unlike others.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving Beyond Externals<\/strong><\/p>\n

The concept of personality travels way beyond superficialities. When we call someone a good personality, we are essentially conveying the idea that they are interesting and pleasant people to talk to or work with. And since we all would love to look appealing and pleasing, therefore, to this end, having an impressive personality is vital, much more so than having simply good looks. Of course, we will have to figure out how to develop it further.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since personality is the sum of one\u2019s qualities, quirks, characteristics, beliefs, attitudes and psychological traits, developing it involves enhancement in all areas of life. Personality is shaped by a clutch of factors – genes, environment, family and societal conditions, which influence and shape personality. Therefore, one needs to work in all these areas to ensure a well-rounded development of one\u2019s personality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luckily, ample research suggests that we can change our personality if we really want to i.e. we can become the best version of ourselves – confident, enthusiastic and serene, if we really want to and become a personality that makes us stand out and get what we want from life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, this process may entail considerable effort, but we can start with these easy and effective techniques to see a perceptible transformation in our personality. For someone serious about bringing about a positive life change, it may turn out to be the most rewarding enterprise ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

Personality – From infancy to adulthood<\/strong><\/p>\n

Contrary to the common perception, we are <\/span>born<\/span><\/i> with a distinct personality to some extent- some babies are adjusting, pliable and accommodating while others are tough to handle. Some babies are agreeable to begin with, some others get easily irritated, some are strongly attached to their mothers while others are not. To that extent, it would be wrong to claim that a child is born as \u201cblank slate\u201d. In fact, as we have seen, a lot is already imprinted on that so-called blank slate, which of course, can be re-written to some extent with life experiences and training.<\/span><\/p>\n

A child’s personality has two major components \u2013 temperament and environment. Most psychologists agree on the fact that temperament and environment influence personality development the most. Temperament, which depends on genes, is sometimes called “nature,” while the environmental factors are called “nurture”.<\/span><\/p>\n

In simple words, temperament implies the genetic traits that shape a child’s approach to the world and how it learns about the world. There are, of course, no such genes that give rise to specific personality traits, but there are some genes that control the development of the nervous system, which in turn, controls the child\u2019s behavior.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second component is born of the adaptive patterns coming from a child’s environment. Almost all experts agree that good parenting<\/a><\/strong> plays a critical role in developing a child’s personality. If the parents understand how their child responds to certain situations, they can anticipate the potential problems the child may face in future and prepare it for the situation or avoid it. Parents who can adapt their parenting style to the child\u2019s temperament can provide guidance to ensure successful personality development of their child.<\/span><\/p>\n
