The original meaning of the term ‘personality’ as quoted from the experts suggests that it is a dynamic organization of psychopysic that determines one’s behaviour, thoughts, and character. Such character and personality can be identified as an individual quality which is manifested through consistence behavioural patterns in respond to the environment.
