Hi guys, I am writing my personal statement and I found that I have too much to say, some of my hobbies and research are important, and I would like the admission commitee to know them. However, since there is section in AADSAS where we can put our hobbies about manual dexterity, and research, I am wondering if it is necessary to mention them in my personal statement. what do you guys think?

keep it as short as possible. If you already explain your research and etc in the extra-curriculars section, there's no need to repeat it.

concise, to the point, and goal-oriented is what you want to go for in your personal statement. There's a reason why the word limit keeps getting lower in the application cycles, because the adcoms are innundated with stuff and frankly don't want to read your ****.

My personal statement was 2 paragraphs, and at one of my interviews the guy thanked me for keeping it short.
