INTRODUCTION

Raymond B. Cattell(1965) has given influential theory of Personality trait. Cattell

called this traits as dynamic traits as it helps in understanding personality. Human

ability, motives, intelligence, social skills,temperament are describe as traits. Cattell

attempts to reduce the confusion inherent in the description of traits by specifying

some as more important than others. Surface traits are relatively unimportant clusters

of behaviours that appear to go together whereas are the more important underlying

traits on which the surface traits are based. Over the years, many trait like models like

those of Allport and Cattell have been proposed, each stating the a different set of

traits best describes our personalities. Personality is the sum of the total of

characteristics traits on the basis of which people can be differentiated from each

other. Personality is the stability in a persons behaviour across different situation it

consist of characteristic that are relatively enduring and that make an individual

behave in a consistent and predictable way. Personality is the product of a culture to

do different thing in different situation it is affected by environment and society. It

shows the behaviour of human being in different situations acting upon him.
