INTRODUCTION The concept of “personality” is diverse and multifaced. Personality is the subject of study of many sciences. Each science studies the personality according its specific aspect. For the psychological analysis of a person it is necessary to clearly distinguish the concept: “person”, “individual”, “personality”, “individuality”, “Person”. The most general (philosophical definition) is the concept of “person” = “individual”. Person is a biosocial being that possesses articulate language, consciousness, higher mental functions (abstract-logical thinking, logical memory, etc.) is able to create tools and use them in the process of social work. Individual belongs to the human race; biological organism; carrier of general hereditary qualities of a biological species, person. Representative of the human race – homosapiens. Any person – an individual, regardless of the level of his physical and mental health (for example, Mowgli, mentally ill, etc.). While the personality is a conscious individual who occupies a certain place in society and performs certain functions – a product of human intelligence. We become a personality under the influence of society, education, upbringing, correlation, communication, etc. Individuality – unique peculiarity of every person's psyche (character, temperament, skills, peculiarities of the occurrence of mental processes, a set of feelings, etc.) that forms its uniqueness, difference from other people. And finally, the Person with a capital letter is “What a Complete Creation-pearson!” (Shakespeare); “To become a man is an art” (Novalis); “Person reveils in his actions” (Schiemer). The idea of a strong person is most fully represented in the poetry and life of Lesya Ukrainka. Lesya ... A gentle girl with a blue sky in front of her eyes. Eternal legend. The fate did not send her jackets, because all her life was a long and exhausting war with the disease. However, in her poetry, she glorified the invincibility of the spirit of a strong personality. 1 Максименко С.Д. Генеза здійснення особистості : наук. монографія. – К. : КММ, 2006. 255 с.
