个性 vs 性格
1. 个性, if you expand it, is 个体的性质/性格. 个性 emphasizes the individuality, the fact of being difference from anybody or anything else. We can use 个性 on a person as well as a thing, e.g. a product, 产品的个性
2. 性格 is "character, temperament" and it does not emphasize the individuality. 性格 refers to a person or an animal -- whatever or whoever it is, it has to be animate.

性格 vs 脾气:

The origin of the word 脾气 is traditional Chinese medicine. 脾气 can mean “bad temper”; 性格 does not have this meaning:
发脾气、闹脾气、爆脾气

When they both mean "disposition, character, temperament", they are basically the same, except for 脾气 is usually used in spoken Chinese; 性格 can be both written/spoken Chinese.
