Personality is a specific way we behave or do things. It is composed of many factors which can be classified as hereditary and acquired factors.

Hereditary factors are what we acquire from our parents through genes that make up our physical appearance in terms of height,eye color, skin color and body and hair type. Among these factors the more influential ones in our behavior are hormones which makes us active,nervous or tired.

Hereditary factors are permanent and are beyond our control and may influence our life positively or negatively depending on how we view them for example a very short person may be intimidated by his height.

Acquired factors are acquired through education,what we learn from when we are children and continue learning as adults and this molds our personality.They are classified according to the stage of development.
