Read the text carefully, then choose the best alternatives to answer the question. Often people use the term personality as an easy way of explaining a person’s behavior. Someone says that “she
is a good saleswoman because she is an extrovert” or her uncle is hard to get along with because he has an authoritarian personality.” Actually, the concept of personality does not explain anything about the person’s
behavior. Instead, the concept of personality is a descriptive one. It relates to specific behavioral traits of an individual. It describes the individual’s specific adoption to his or her cultural surroundings.
We might define personality as the basic organization of people that determines the uniqueness of their interaction with themselves, with other, and with the nonhuman aspects of their environment. The basic organization
refers to the structure of the personality how it is put together, and the relationships among the various parts, it concerns the total physical, intellectual, and emotional structure of the individual.
The personality structure determines the uniqueness of the individual’s interactions. Now two personalities are alike. All persons have their own way of interacting with themselves and with their environment, and the way they
interact with others. Human interaction always brings about some change in the individual. This change takes place very slowly. It is
generally not noticeable from day to day. Nevertheless, the personality is changing constantly. Personalities don’t all charge at the same rate. For example, the child change very rapidly in both physical and intellectual aspects of
personality. The adult may change very slowly. However, every personality undergoes constant, gradual change as the individual interacts with others.
The personality of individual their basic organization is blending of all the factors present in their particular social situation with whatever traits they inherit biologically. This brings us to one of the age old question with is
more important, hereditary or environment? 21. UM UGM 2003
