What is Personality?

Personality is the unique set of behavior patterns, thoughts and emotions that govern an individual. It is the set of consistent and enduring characteristic traits that define the way an individual thinks, feels and behaves. Personality is a mix of nature and nurture. This means that our personality is formed as a result of our innate tendencies and our environment. Personality keeps evolving over time but sometimes certain intrinsic traits are present throughout.

Importance of personality in career choice

Knowing your own personality is good not just for your personal growth but also for your personal relationships and your decision making. It helps in making better choices. For example, if you know that you are an introvert, it would be better for you to choose a job that allows you to work alone and think things through. Therefore, it is important that you match your personality with the job profile.

As we all know career choices are very important as they impact our lives in terms of personal satisfaction and happiness. If not taken with care, it can lead to dissatisfaction with the job or frequent job changes both of which can adversely affect mental health.

Employers, these days, also tend to look at the personality of the candidate at the time of hiring, so that suitable selections as per the job requirements can be made. If you are very keen for a particular industry or a particular position, then research the job requirement thoroughly and try to learn the skills and change your personality accordingly.
