We have in this section considered the concept of personality, the determinant factors of
Personality and the theories of personality. We conclude here that Personality is regarded as
consisting relatively long lasting behaviour patterns that yield fairly consistent reactions to
different – situations.
6.0 SUMMARY
Personality is made up of behaviour patterns resulting from the handling of child hood sexual
aggression impulses. Most theorist emphasizes different origin of personality, therefore since
emphasis differs definitions must also differ. Personality is not an evaluative thing hence it is not
something desirable or undesirable, it is not something good or bad rather it is the most enduring
and persistent characteristics of a person by which he is unique and different from any other
human being by which he resemble and act like all human beings or like some human beings. This
implies that personality has both organic as well as the perceived aspect.
