Definition

The most frequently used definition of personality was produced by Gordon All
port nearly 60 years ago.
He said personality is the dynamic organization within the individual of
those psychophysical systems that determine his unique adjustments to his
environment.
For our purposes you should think of personality as the sum total of ways in
which an individual reacts and interacts with others.
This is most often described in terms of measurable personality traits that a
person exhibits.
