Abstract
Adolescence is a time when a child's unique identity emerges. Until adolescence, a child basically fulfills the will of his parents. However, as an adolescent naturally separates from his parents, he develops his own distinct personality. Besides maturing physically and emotionally, adolescents grow intellectually, while they develop moral understanding and an ability to plan toward the future. An awareness of the quality traits of an adolescent would guide us in knowing the healthy behavioural pattern, psychological aspects and copying skills which are essential to face the challenges of a changing world. The study was thus an attempt to assess and understand the personality traits of adolescents. The study showed that most of the adolescents had the trait of trust, aggressiveness, adaptability, conscience, resistance to boredom and they react to stress in a moderate level. The adolescents should take efforts to change the negative traits into more positive ones.
