quality, for we often speak Of a person possess
ing q disagreeable personality.
Nor Is personality necessarily a correct in
dex OF character. A thief may give the impress
sion of having all the virtues and all the charm
ing attributes of a gentleman while yet, side BY
side with these winning ways, are a~ntisocial and
immoral traits. Indeed, confidence men and
other swindlers use an attractive personality as
part Of their stock in trade. BY means Of per-
sonality they captivate the unwary.
Usually, Of course, the term personality is
used TO indicate the. best human attributes rather
than the worst ones.
In fact, unless an individual Is clever at de-
ception, his true inner nature il shown in his
behavior and his real personally is soon labeled
for what it actually is.
1t is through speech, manners and actions
that personality reveals itself.
