Personality

Personality is the sum total of ways in which an individual reacts and interacts with others. As viewed by Luthans, personality means how people affect others and how they understand and view themselves, as well as their pattern of inner and outer measurable traits, and the person-situation interaction.

Proactive Personality
It identifies opportunities, shows initiative, takes action, and perseveres until meaningful change occurs, and creates positive change in the environment, regardless or even in spite of constraints or obstacles.

Personality Types
Type As are always moving, walking, and eating rapidly; feel impatient with the rate at which most events take place; strive to think or do two or more things at once; cannot cope with leisure time; are obsessed with numbers, measuring their success in terms of how many or how much of everything they acquire.

Type Bs never suffer from a sense of time urgency with its accompanying impatience; feel no need to display or discuss either their achievements or accomplishments; play for fun and relaxation, rather than to exhibit their superiority at any cost; can relax without guilt.
