személyiségrajz

Személyiségrajz is a Hungarian term that translates to "personality sketch" or "character study." It refers to a concise and often literary description of an individual's personality, traits, and characteristics. Unlike a formal psychological profile, a személyiségrajz focuses on capturing the essence of a person's character, often through observations of their behavior, mannerisms, speech patterns, and motivations.

These sketches can appear in various forms, including literature, biography, journalism, and even informal personal writings. The goal is to create a vivid and memorable portrait of an individual, highlighting what makes them unique. A well-crafted személyiségrajz goes beyond listing adjectives; it aims to reveal the underlying dynamics of a person's psyche and their interaction with the world.

The term emphasizes the descriptive and illustrative nature of the portrayal. It's about painting a picture with words, allowing the reader to gain an understanding and often an emotional connection to the subject. While it might touch upon psychological aspects, its primary focus remains on the observable and relatable elements of a personality, making it a popular tool for character development in creative writing and for bringing historical or public figures to life in non-fiction.
