PRESENTED BY:-ASHWYN RAOSNEHA RAMESHTUSHAR KHARATEVIPULA GANGURDE

Individual differences are the facts that make people different from each other. We all know that we are different from each other.. in many ways such as : our physical aspects, our likes, dislikes, interests, values, psychological makeup and the list goes on. In other words... the whole "Personality". No two people or animals can be THE SAME, they can only be similar. If there would be no individual differences there would be no quarrels and moreover.. there would be no Love too !!

Everyone has strengths & weaknesses in terms of ability that make him or her relatively superior or inferior to others in performing certain tasks or activities.

An individual’s overall abilities are essentially made up of two sets of factors:• Intellectual Abilities.• Physical Abilities.
