Type A Personality

An individual's personality represents their true self or soul. In other words, it encompasses the entire nature of an individual. According to psychology, personality refers to an individual's dynamic character that manifests itself in his actions and conduct.

Personality is the mixture of a person's psychological and physical traits that make him/her unique. In addition to his behavioral tendencies, his intellectual qualities, and his emotional disposition, he is defined by his personality.

Personality Disorder

Individuals who behave in an exaggerated, unusual or abnormal way, even when no stressful events are occurring, are said to be suffering from chronic maladaptive, inflexible, and recognisable behavioral patterns.
