PERSONALITY

Gordon Allport (1990)


defines personality as a
“pattern of habits,
attitudes, traits that
determine an individual’s
characteristics, behaviors,
and traits.

an individual the ability to

7. Moral and Religious Traits –
standards for a person’s actions
and behaviors. His moral traits
are manifested by his conduct.
His religious traits guide his
actions according to his beliefs.
Personality according to
Amparo and Tuazon
(1960) can be one of two
things:

● One’s biggest asset


leading to success

● One’s heaviest
liability leading to
failure
Our personality is our biggest responsibility. It
ought to be treated with the most intensive care
because it may turn out to be our worst enemy or
our best friend. It may be our best friend because
when treated with care, a mature personality
makes us acceptable to the society and thus be
successful in the fields of our endeavour. When
neglected, however, it will hinder our personal
growth.
THE JOHARI WINDOW
Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham, two
noted psychologists, introduced the concept
of Johari window. The term “Johari” was
coined from the first syllables of their names.
Johari Window is a mechanism designed to
help an individual grow through learning
more about oneself and others. It consists of
four windowpanes which is also known as the
four windows of truth.
According to Luft and Ingham, a person can use the Johari
Window to improve the self by widening the open area and
reducing the blind and hidden areas. Doing so will
eventually lead to the reduction of the unknown area as
well as pave the way for one to discover more about oneself
in terms of attitude, talents, capabilities and other skills.
These can be made possible by the following:
• Self-disclosure and Sharing
• Establishing Trust
• Asking for feedback and giving feedback
