INTRODUCTION
Our identities decide how we act and respond, and also how we interface with
and react to the world. In spite of much research, the sources of identity are still
a riddle. However numerous hypotheses endeavour to clarify them. A few
analysts suggest that youngsters take in identity from their guardians; others
trust identity is altered from conception. A few hypotheses address how
environment, hereditary qualities, and society impact the improvement of
identity. Identity sort alludes to the mental grouping of diverse sorts of
individuals. Identity sorts are recognized from identity qualities, which come in
distinctive levels or degrees. As per sort speculations, for case, there are two
basics sorts of individuals, thoughtful people and extraverts.
With reference to the consumer behavior, personality is an important factor
because the trait people possess affect the way consumers behave and prefer
products, (Gilbert. A. & Churchill, J, 1999)

Personality Sorts. These are generally Type A, Variety B in addition to
