After this session, lecturer started the theoretical part of the lecture. Personality is "what others think of you".
According to Bruce Barton personality is "If you have anything really valuable to contribute to the world it will come through the expression of your own personality, that single spark of divinity that sets you off and makes you different from every other living creature"
As our lecturer Mr Eranjan, explained when we are talking three eyes are working. They are,
-What others think of my-self
-What I think about my-self
-What really I am
From among mentioned three eyes."What others think of myself" considers as the personality.
Types of Personality
According to John Holland's theory there are six types of personality types. People are one of six personality types: conventional, realistic, investigative, artistic, social and enterprising.
