Hello, dear readers of the KtoNaNovenkogo.ru blog. “This is character!” - we are talking about a person who is tough in his judgments, purposeful in life and unbending under the blows of fate.
As a rule, this remark is pronounced with a degree of envy and admiration. While “spineless” people do not evoke respect from others.
How does the first type of people differ from the second? And is it true that a person can lack character?
List of qualities
Personality structure includes temperament, volitional qualities, abilities, character, emotions, social attitudes and motivation. And also separately the following qualities:
- Independence;
- Intellectual self-improvement;
- Communication skills;
- Kindness;
- Hard work;
- Honesty;
- Determination;
- Responsibility;
- Respect;
- Confidence;
- Discipline;
- Humanity;
- Mercy;
- Curiosity;
- Objectivity.
A person’s personal qualities consist of internal perception and external manifestations. External manifestation includes a list of indicators:
- innate or acquired artistry;
- attractive appearance and sense of style;
- oratory skills and clear pronunciation of speech;
- a competent and sophisticated approach to non-verbal communication.
The main qualities of a person (her inner world) can be classified according to a number of characteristics:
- a comprehensive assessment of the situation and the absence of conflicting perceptions of information;
- an inherent love for people;
- open-minded thinking;
- positive form of perception;
- wise judgment.
The level of these indicators determines the individual characteristics of the individual being studied.
How are strengths different from weaknesses?
Wit
All weaknesses can become strengths if you look at them from a different angle. For example, a person is restless. If he works as a sales manager or sales representative, then this is rather a plus rather than a minus.
Another example is non-conflict. Getting along is considered a positive character trait. On the other hand, there are people who simply need to be put in their place, and this sometimes requires going into conflict.
Regardless of gender and activity, there is one universal character trait that is strong in any case. Unfortunately, it is not inherent to everyone. This is a sense of humor. A witty person can always get out of a difficult situation. Such people are usually respected and people try to be friends with them.
Important! Wit often borders on sarcasm, sometimes on cynicism. Care must be taken because it is a very fine line.
Structure of individual qualities
To more accurately determine the quality of a person’s personality, one should highlight its biological structure. It consists of 4 levels:
- Temperament, which includes characteristics of genetic predisposition (nervous system).
- The degree of unique mental processes that allows one to determine a person's personal qualities. The level of individual perception, imagination, manifestation of volitional signs, feelings and attention influences the achievement of results.
- The experiences of people, characterized by knowledge, abilities, capabilities and habits.
- Indicators of social orientation, including the subject’s attitude to the external environment. The development of personal qualities acts as a guiding and regulating factor of behavior - interests and views, beliefs and attitudes (state of consciousness based on previous experience, regulating the attitude and behavior of people), moral norms.
The above categories are closely related to the needs and character, abilities and egocentrism of people. The set of general indicators influences the creation of an individual personality shell.
Definition and general characteristics of the concept
Character is a set of stable traits that determine a person’s behavior, his lifestyle, habits, and reactions to various situations. Character is not an innate component of the psyche, but is formed throughout life. The basis for the formation of character is biological characteristics: gender, type of temperament, set of genes. Refracted through the prism of education and individual development, they form a unique psychological picture.
The word “character” translated from Greek means “imprint, seal.” This is what distinguishes a person from other people, makes him unique and inimitable. It is impossible to meet two people with absolutely identical characters.
Character plays a decisive role in our lives. Everything we do, what we think, what emotions we experience is determined by our character. This is a kind of set of patterns fixed in the psyche that are designed to simplify our existence. Imagine: faced with the same situation every time, we would have to re-evaluate it, build a behavior strategy, and analyze the consequences. Character allows you to optimize this process.
Knowing a person's character well, you can almost accurately predict his behavior.
Traits of people that characterize their temperament
The innate qualities of a person shape him as a social being. Behavioral factors, type of activity and social circle are taken into account. The category is divided into 4 concepts: sanguine, melancholic, choleric and phlegmatic.
- A sanguine person is a strong and balanced person who easily adapts to a new environment and overcomes obstacles. Sociability, responsiveness, openness, cheerfulness and leadership are the main personality traits.
- A melancholic person is a weak and sedentary person. Under the influence of strong stimuli, behavioral disturbances occur, manifested by a passive attitude towards any activity. Isolation, pessimism, anxiety, tendency to reason and resentment are characteristic features of melancholic people.
- Cholerics are strong, unbalanced, energetic personality traits. They are quick-tempered and unrestrained. Touchiness, impulsiveness, emotionality and instability are clear indicators of a restless temperament.
- A phlegmatic person is a balanced, inert and slow person, not prone to change. Personal indicators show how to easily overcome negative factors. Reliability, goodwill, peacefulness and prudence are the hallmarks of calm people.
What to do if you don't like your partner's character
Think about what exactly you don’t like: the character as a whole or some specific trait. In the first case, the question arises as to whether you really want to continue the relationship with this partner. In the second case, it is worth talking about it directly and discussing with your partner how you can correct the current situation. If you do not understand or do not know how to cope with the current situation, offer your partner couples therapy with a psychologist. A psychologist will help you come to an understanding.
It is not at all necessary that partners match in character, because in a relationship common interests, principles, and moral principles are much more important.
Individual character traits
Character is a set of individual traits that manifest themselves in different types of activity, communication and relationships with people. The development of personal qualities is formed against the background of life processes and the type of activity of people. To more accurately assess the character of people, behavioral factors in specific circumstances should be studied in detail.
Types of character:
- cycloid – mood swings;
- hyperthymic accentuation consists of high activity and failure to complete tasks;
- asthenic – capricious and depressive personal qualities;
- sensitive – timid personality;
- hysterical - the makings of leadership and vanity;
- dysthymic – focused on the negative side of current events.
Lowen topology
Psychology does not require precision, but by studying different people, over time you come to a positive or negative opinion. Do you think scientists invented all the indicators?
No, scientists, doctors and scientists have been studying human behavior for many decades. So the American psychoanalyst tried to create his own point of view, defining people by their behavior in certain circumstances.
Having studied the defensive reactions of individuals, he was able to recreate the complete picture by dividing humanity into 5 groups.
- Oral. Egoists and weak-willed individuals who cannot independently realize themselves in life without the support of other people. They constantly demand attention, care, and pity.
But at the same time they don’t give the other person anything in return. They cannot make decisions on their own, are afraid of loneliness, and are emotionally unstable in emergency situations.
- Masochistic. Angry and unbalanced people. They get along poorly in society because they constantly carry negativity. They love to feel sorry for themselves and complain about life, without trying to improve it. Seeing the tragedy of another person, he rejoices, because he believes that not only he has to suffer, let the other part of the planet suffer too.
- Hysterical. Reckless, emotional people who seek adventure in everything. They always play to the public, drawing attention to themselves.
They are in constant tension because they lie a lot and try to present themselves in the best light. Such subjects often experience emotional breakdowns, but do not like a calm, peaceful environment.
- Narcissistic. The name is chosen accurately, since the subjects love only themselves, forgetting about those around them and the problems that they themselves create.
Most often this applies to men. Women rarely suffer from this type of disorder. Narcissistic men persistently achieve their goals and have several partners at once, which allows them to assert themselves. They feel great in society, but suppress it for gain or to achieve a goal.
- Schizoid. Subjects are far from real life and cannot adequately respond to certain situations. Inconstancy in partnership, breakdowns, misunderstanding and self-criticism. A long-term relationship with one person forces you to be in constant tension and anxiety, which leads to scandals and breakups.
Individual abilities of people
Individual psychological qualities of a person contribute to the achievement of success and excellence in a certain activity. They are determined by the social and historical practice of the individual, the results of the interactions of biological and mental indicators.
There are different levels of ability:
- giftedness;
- talent;
- genius.
The development of the algorithm of personal qualities and abilities of people is characterized by the ability to learn new things in the mental sphere. Special features are manifested in a specific type of activity (musical, artistic, pedagogical, etc.).

Strong-willed traits of people
Adjusting behavioral factors associated with overcoming internal and external discomfort makes it possible to determine personal qualities: the level of effort and plans for taking actions, concentration in a given direction. Will manifests itself in the following properties:
- willpower - the level of effort to achieve the desired result;
- perseverance – the ability to mobilize to overcome troubles;
- endurance - the ability to limit feelings, thinking and actions.
Courage, self-control, commitment are the personal qualities of strong-willed people. They are classified into simple and complex acts. In a simple case, incentives to action flow into execution automatically. Complex acts are carried out on the basis of motivation, drawing up a plan and taking into account the consequences.
A few more words about cheerfulness
Let's look at the definition in more detail. Cheerfulness is:
- the ability to see the positive in everyday things that few people bring joy, for example, in the early morning, in a mug of tea, in rain and snow;
- the ability to not lose heart in difficult situations;
- a friendly perception of life, whatever it may seem at the moment;
- the ability to trust the future without worrying about it;
- the ability to understand that life is the most valuable gift a person has;
- the ability to be happy here and now, without attachment to the past and unnecessary anxiety.
