Personality is the major factor that influences individual behavior in an organization. To understand the behavior of an individual or a person, first it must be familiar about personality. By understanding the personality, behavior can be directly and controlled. Personality does not mean handsome and ugliness of human being. But it is the aggregate form if traits, qualities and features of an individual. It is concerned with reaction and interaction of individual and situation. Thus personality represents personal characteristics that lead to consistent patterns of behaviors.
Personality can be measured in following ways:
There are a number of tests and techniques, which attempt to measure personality;
- Observation: Observation a live situation has obvious benefits, however managers normally only observe a limited, edited performance, lasting between the 30 minutes of a typical interview.
- Situational tests: Waiting for behavior to our neutrality is very time-consuming. The situational tests save time by contriving an occasion for significant behavior to occur.
- Questionnaire: Asking questions and checking his/her response and intelligence.
- Rating and checklists: To ask someone who knows the individual well.
- Protective tests: Assure that everything people do, say, write, think, paint or even dream reflects their personality.
