Document Summary
Your personality is one of your most important assets. Everything in your life is influenced by personality. It restricts and holds back some people and opens up the world for others. Terrific personality = affable, pleasant, nice to be around, and easy to get along with. Terrible = aloof, hostile, aggressive, unfriendly, unpleasant, and difficult to get along with. The number and variety of social situations you are involved in are also determined by your personality e. g. your sociability or shyness. It"s usually pretty easy to describe your own personality. We have a general idea of what we are like. A psychologist suggested that we get a good idea of personality meaning if we examine our intentions (what we mean) when we say the word i. When you say i, you are, summing up everything about yourself your likes /dislikes/ fear and virtues / strengths and weaknesses. The word i defines you as an individual from everyone.
