The personality is a person in terms of social communication. Each personality has a large amount of individual traits and properties which psychologists try "to classify".

Others, on the contrary, consider the personality a set of the relations to situations and other people. Z. Freud divided the personality into three parts: "I" (conscious), "It" (unconscious) and "Super I" (an ideal which controls our behavior).
