Personality

Quite often we talk about a pleasing personality or a irritating personality of a person with whom we happen to interact.
Personality is actually a very complex concept in which a whole individual is studied as a whole. Our concepts of pleasing or irritating personalities actually refer to the impact a person creates on us while interacting. It also means to what extent an individual impresses us. It refers to special characteristics, abilities, emotional and social traits, interests and attitudes of a person. Personality is something that can be described in terms of behaviour of an individual, his words, thoughts and gestures.
