Personality is an individual’s habitual patterns
of behavior and response, internal or external, in adapting himself to the
environment of which he is a part. “It is a functional identity, a pattern of
physical and mental process, a continuum of activity.”
The term personality is used among some psychologists almost in its literal sense - i.e., to indicate a mask, persona, as was worn by actors on the stage in ancient Rome. In this sense, the personality, like the mask, feigns individuality, and tries to make others and one believe that one is individual.

Fundamentally the persona is nothing real: it
is compromise between individual and society as to what a man should appear to
be. He takes a name, earns a title, represents an office, and is this or that.
Personality can be used as a universal term that encompasses all the psychological, intellectual, emotional, and physical characteristics of an individual, especially as they are presented to other people.

We say
that someone has a "big personality" or "no personality",
or a "sports personality". Personality is reflected in our behavior.
When we act out of character we often say “It just wasn't like me…",
"I wasn't myself".
