Description

Hooks above the "Name" section of profile page. This is typically used for adding new fields to WordPress profile pages.

This hook only triggers if a user is viewing their own profile page. There is no equivalent hook at this point for injecting content onto the profile pages of non-current users.

Parameters

$user
(object) (optional) The WP_User object of the user being edited.
Default: None

Example 

//This will show below the color scheme and above username fields
add_action('profile_personal_options', 'extra_profile_fields');

function extra_profile_fields($user) {
    $meta = get_user_meta($user->ID, 'meta_key'); // $user contains WP_User Class
    // do something with it.
    // if you echo anything, remember to check if it is set. eg:
    ?>
    <input type="text" value="<?php echo isset($meta["value"]) ? $meta["value"] : ""; ?>" name="value"/>
    <?php
}
