Personality, according to Microsoft Encarta, is a deeply ingrained and relatively enduring pattern of thought, feeling and behavior. It is what is unique about a person that makes him/her different from others.

The personalities are Realistic (doers), Investigative (thinkers), Artistic (creators), Social (helpers), Entertaining (persuaders), and Conventional (organizers) – RIASEC (According to the first letters of the personalities).
