What Is Personality Organization?

Personality organization concerns how the parts of personality are grouped, and how they function together. To fully understand personality organization, it can be divided into two parts: structure and dynamics.

Personality structure concerns how the parts of personality are organized together into distinct areas of personality, and what those relatively stable, long term areas of personality are.

Personality dynamics concern how parts of personality influence one another and affect the individual's actions in the environment.
