PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT

/ FAMILY PLANNING
 WHAT IS PERSONALITY

personality refers to a person's unique and enduring pattern

of thinking, feeling, and behaving.  When viewed in this
manner it becomes evident that personality encompasses
nearly every aspect of human experience.  Subsequently, our
personalities have the potential to greatly impact our well-
being.
 IMPORTANCE OF PERSONALITY
 The personality is an important indicator of the a person
which is made up of a combination of complex features.
Each person’s personality is unique in the traits,
behaviours and reacting to stimulus, etc. Therefore,
measuring the personality is really important in
psychology to build the personal profile of the client. The
genes, environment and the social factors affect the
design of a personality. A personality test should be rich
with components which can cover all the types of
personalities.
 WHAT ARE THE 5 MOST IMPORTANT
ASPECTS OF PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT
 EXTRAVERSION
 AGREEABLENESS
 OPENNESS
 CONSCIENTIOUSNESS
 NEUROTICISM
 EXTRAVERSION

This trait describes an individual’s outgoing or social attitude. They are sometimes
seen as the life of the party and enjoy hanging out with people, going out for social
events and are generally full of life and energy. Those who are low in extraversion
are less outgoing and prefer to stay by themselves. The introverts have less energy
and love to be quiet.
 AGREEABLENESS

This manifests itself in an individual’s behaviour that shows kindness,

sympathy, warmness and consideration for others. Those who score high here
are very empathetic with others and accommodate them. They are also
positive minded. The ones that score low are selfish and lack empathy. They
seem to always be in competition with others and try to manipulate their way
through situations instead of co-operating with others.
 OPENNESS

This describes the open mindedness of an individual. A person who scores high
here will enjoy trying new things. They tend to be imaginative and generally
open minded about everything. Others who score low would be close minded
and prefer routine. They are resistant to change and would be very analytical.
Those with an open mind will also tend to love the arts and think deeply too.
 CONSCIENTIOUSNESS

This trait describes how an individual controls, regulates and directs their impulses.
Individuals who score high with this personality trait tend to have a high level of self
discipline. They always follow a plan instead of acting on the spur of the moment.
This makes them successful in their endeavours and able to achieve their goals. They
are seen as responsible and reliable. They may also be workaholics and
perfectionists which may make them boring and inflexible.
 NEUROTICISM

This also means emotional stability. It describes an individual’s ability to stay balanced
and stable when faced with tough challenges. One who scores high in neuroticism has
the tendency to experience negative emotions. On the other hand, those who score high
in emotional stability react less emotionally and don’t get upset easily. They are usually
calm and stable, though it does not mean they experience a lot of positive feelings.
 WHY IS PERSONALITY
DEVELOPMENT IMPORTANT IN AN
INDIVIDUAL FOR HIS PERSONAL
AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH?
 Personality development helps you gain
recognition and acceptance from the society as
well as people around. Personality development
plays an essential role not only in an individual's
professional but also personal lives. It makes an
individual disciplined, punctual and an asset for
his/her organization.
 WHY IS PERSONALITY
ASSESSMENT IMPORTANT
 Personality tests are useful because they show
individual strengths that enable professionals to
determine where their talents are best served.
When individuals have a greater knowledge of
their personality, they can discover careers and
places that match their personality.
 WHAT IS THE BEST METHOD OF
FAMILY PLANNING
 The kinds of birth control that work the best to
prevent pregnancy are the implant and IUDs
they're also the most convenient to use, and the
most foolproof. Other birth control methods, like
the pill, ring, patch, and shot, are also really good
at preventing pregnancy if you use them perfectly.
WHAT IS THE MOST POPULAR
METHOD OF BIRTH CONTROL
AMONG MARRIED COUPLES
 In the United States, 38 percent of married
modern contraceptive users depend on male
methods, split between condoms and vasectomy,
but female sterilization remains the single most
popular method, chosen by 34 percent of couples.
 WHAT IS NATURAL
CONTRACEPTIVE METHOD
 Natural methods of contraception are considered
"natural" because they are not mechanical and are
not a result of hormone manipulation. Instead,
these methods to prevent pregnancy require that
a man and woman not have sexual intercourse
during the time when an egg is available to be
fertilized by a sperm.
