These few quotations present only a very limited portion of material in The Urantia Book relevant to "personality," but should be sufficient to demonstrate that the book is a work of intense and dedicated scholarship, not the dreamtime meanderings of a sleeping mind as proposed by Martin Gardner nor a slap dash book that Gardner claimed could have been written over a couple of weekends by one such as Dr W.S. Sadler.
A more in-depth study could include other related concepts such as "power-personality" that lead into consideration of the role of personality in the unification of God the Supreme and the Almighty Supreme in the Supreme Being.
