Abstract
Human behavior is the outcome of his/her associated Personality. Behavior plays an important role in
success be it individual or organizational. Organization strives for individual with right kind of personality
for success and sustainability. Researchers tried to define personality from various perspectives with hardly
any consensus. They also attempted to construct suitable mechanism/instruments to measure it. Though
there are wide disagreements among researchers regarding the success/ applicability of these instruments,
it is without any doubt that there are requirements for such attempts. This research in an attempt in this
regard to construct an instrument to measure personality based on the most respected religious epic of the
Hindus': The Bhagavad-Gita. The idea of personality modes (Guna): Swattva, Rajas and Tamas, their
presence and dominance in a human being as described in the Bhagavad-Gita are converted into
personality measuring statements and a scale is finalized by applying appropriate research methodology.
The instrument for measuring personality emerged as a 9 dimensional instrument with 56 statements.

The Journal ‘Purushartha’ has been started with an objective to focus primarily on: Blending of ancient Indian management thoughts with the modern management principles Business ethics Values Indian spirituality for modern business It is strongly felt that there are many unexplored dimensions and fewer researches have been done on the above subjects. Through this journal an effort has been made to explore those dimensions for enriching the modern management science. It is worth mentioning that our effort through this journal for blending ancient Indian wisdom, ethics, values and spirituality with modern management thoughts primarily derived from West is being appreciated by the academia and industry as well.
