Farm women always play an important role and remain a prominent partner in the
agricultural sector. Women form one third of the world’s official labour force but are
concentrated in the lowest paid occupation and are more vulnerable to unemployment than men.
Rural Indian Women are extensively involved in agricultural activities, however, the nature
and extent of their involvement differ with the variations in agro-production systems. Hence, the
study focused on the personality dimensions of farm women. Personality refers to our
characteristic ways of responding to individuals and situations. A study was conducted in
Telangana State. A sample of 120 farm women was selected from rural areas of Telangana by
using the purposive sampling method. The farm women Selected 10 personality dimensions –
Multi Dimensional Assessment of Personality Series (MAPS) Form Adult. (M/S PSY-COM
services, New Delhi, 1996). Was used for assessing the personality dimensions of farm women.
The result of the study revealed that the majority of the respondents comes under the average
category i.e., competition (89%) followed by boldness and self-control (85%), tension (82%),
leadership (68%), social warmth (63%), mental health (62%), imagination (54%), maturity
(44%) and innovation (43%). Less percentage of the respondents comes under low categories
such as boldness (2%), competition (3%), and social warmth (5%). While in high category
leadership (5%), maturity (4%), mental health (2%), self-control (6%) and tension (6%). Because
of low personality dimensions of women need to be trained through personality intervention.
Personality training helps. Women increase their leadership qualities, motivation, creativity, and
mental health.
