Abstract

The scope of present work deals with personality traits in a way which differentiates them on basis of social desirability. The two forms of personality traits are the bright and the dark personality traits. The need to differentiate arises because of the inclination towards the bright traits as in the long run under work related environment the dark traits also have a major role to play. The paper also encompasses the fact that the bright personality traits when displayed in excess also become dark. There are studies where researchers have concluded that in contrast to bright personality traits the dark personality traits seem to be more useful as far as work related success is considered. All such cases have been extensively reviewed in the literature review section and in the conclusion it is stated that overdoing the bright traits also categorizes in the dark category as there is a fine line of difference between bright and dark personality when both of them are put to practice.
