Foundations of Personality
2

• The interplay of heredity and environment in the
  development of an individuals knowledge and
  skills are so inherently important that both
  factors leave traces and markes on the individual
  that make him distinct from others.

3
Aspects of an Individuals Personality

• Mental
• Emotional
• Social
• Physical
• Moral
• Spiritual

4
Mental Aspect

• This refers to his intellectual capacity. How a
  person talks, the range of ideas he expresses,
  and the things he talks about, as well as his
  values and mental alertness give evidence of his
  mental capacity.
• The mental aspects depend upon the intelligence.
  Also, the better the education, the better the
  personality.

5
Emotional Aspect

• A persons emotional makeup is shown in his likes
  and dislikes, whether he is aggressive or docile,
  how he responds when things become difficult, how
  quickly he is given to anger, or whether he can
  take a job or not.

6
Social Aspect

• This is seen in how well a person conducts
  himself with other people and how well he
  observes the rules of etiquette that govern
  society.
• Social attitudes and behavior are affected by
  physiological conditions and changes, mental
  alertness, and the extent of emotional maturity.

7
Physical Aspect

• Heredity and environment determine the entire
  physiological system of an individual. Posture,
  body build and size, complexion and facial
  expressions, as well as the appropriateness and
  condition of clothes, comprise the physical
  appearance of a person.

8
Moral Aspect

• This aspect of personality has to do wtih a
  persons awareness of the difference between what
  is wrong or right.

9
Spiritual Aspect

• People are generally religious but they differ in
  what they worship and how they worship. From the
  moral lectures they hear from their respective
  leaders, priests, or pastors, they acquire
  knowledge of the teachings of their Creator that
  guide the lives of men. The spiritual aspect is
  the consciousness of the higher values in life.
  Religion expresses spiritual value.
