There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in peoples behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villainsor the heros role. In fact, the words person and personality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

A) Why it is necessary to identify peoples personality
B) Why it is possible to describe people
C) How to get to know people
D) How best to recognize people
