    v  Situational Factors

Biological Factors: Here in the Biological factors there include different points like the Genetic Nature, Brain Power and the Physique of Body. Genetic Nature corresponds to what we have inherited at the time of Birth; while Brain Power relates to the Intelligence Quotient & Emotional Quotient (IQ & EQ) of the Individual. And for some Individuals on certain situations the physique of the Body designs the Personality trait for them (Ex: Handicapped).

Social Factors: In the Social Factors Family Atmosphere and Societal Interference are the key in shaping the Personality of an Individual. An Individual’s Childhood is purely revolves around with his/her Family and the Home Environment; which is why it is critical in shaping each one’s Personality. When the Individual is in the Teenage and at the start of Adulthood stage the influence is mainly from the Society and thus the role of Society is key in shaping the Personality.

Situational Factors: These correspond to the factors that are being gathered through Learning, Experiences and Behaviors during each one’s life. Here the Positive Experiences and Negative Experiences of life can deliberately shape each one’s Personality Trait.

Now combining all these we can understand that these all factors do not exist in isolation; instead they all constantly interact to produce complex combinations for each individual and thus to produce a Unique Personality to each Individual.
