Abstract :

Personality is the totality of one�s behaviour towards oneself and others as well. It includes everything about the person, his physical, emotional, social, mental and spiritual make up. This study was considered to those individuals having orthopedically defects in upper limbs and a group of normal person having no physical defects. One hundred twenty normal students and one hundred twenty orthopedically challenged students in the age range of 14–18 years were taken as subjects from the different schools of West Bengal. To determine personality characteristics (Neuroticism and Self–sufficiency) among the students were tested by Burn–Reuter Modified Personality Inventory. Comparison between normal and physically challenged persons in respect of personality traits of Neuroticism and Self–sufficiency were done through the technique of mean difference by employing the statistic of �t� ratio. The results shows that orthopedically challenged subjects were superior to normal subjects in respect of personality traits of neuroticism. But it was observed that normal subjects were more self–sufficient than that of the orthopedically challenged subjects.
