Rating
Yellow - the book is easy to read and relevant for general audience. But it is also a sales pitch for the personality assessment tool, which doesn't seem to have sufficient credibility in the psychometric assessment development circles.

I would suggest a layman to read the book as a self-introspective exercise and to understand what the best practices across the themes are.

Solved IGNOU Assignment >> MPC003 >> Q1

-
1. Define personality. Discuss the psychological and environmental determinants of personality development. The term ‘personality’ is derived from the Latin word ‘persona’ which means a mask. Some definitions of the term are as follows:

K. Young: “Personality is a …. patterned body of habits, traits, attitudes and ideas of an individual, as these are organised externally into roles and statuses, and as they relate internally to motivation, goals, and various aspects of selfhood.”
G. W. Allport: It is “a person’s pattern of habits, attitudes, and traits which determine his adjustment to his environment.”
