It is rather difficult to define personality. Personality is the sum total of our habits – physical, mental &
emotional. It is that quality which makes a human different from an ape. Considering the above
definitions, we can say that personality is a wonderful quality .It is an essential part of a person which
makes him what he is.
It is something which distinguishes him from his fellow beings. Personality is neither biological nor
natural. It can be developed and improved. Environment plays a considerable role in shaping our
personality and attitude. Attitude is acquired in the early stages of life. As the time passes, they get
strengthened and are absorbed in the personality of man. For proper development of personality, it
is essential to have a proper attitude. Attitude which makes up the major part of a man’s personality
leads to success or failure in his life. It is seen that development of personality largely depends on
the development of attitude. If attitude is hazy, the personality will not be clear. If the attitude is
healthy and constructive, then the personality is also healthy.

A question generally arises as to whether we can change our attitude which hampers our progress.
This can be done, if we are able to counter the influences which developed our attitude, we can
overcome and correct our attitudes. To develop your personality, friends, try to develop a moral
character and of course a healthy body and mind. Try to have a good knowledge on the present
trends in social, technological and political fields. Extensive reading of books, journals and a wide
spectrum of newspapers helps to increase our knowledge which will help us to achieve confidence to
face the SSB. A candidate’s character traits are assessed throughout SSB Tests and it is essential
to have a good sparkling character for an officer to effectively command and coordinate his
