Personality is a term used in Theosophy to refer to the four lower and transient principles in a human being, namely the physical body, liṅga śarīra, prāṇa and kāma.

H. P. Blavatsky defined it as follows:

Personality . . . the animal man—the lower quaternary or the purely astrophysical being . . . [which] embraces all the characteristics and memories of one physical life.[1]
