He is kind, helpful, cheerful. Speaking about someone, we do not regret pleasant words, but character is a multifaceted concept, and in order to give an accurate description of a person, it is not enough just to praise or scold him. Follow our instructions and your characterization will be accurate and objective.
Instructions
Step 1
First, determine the type of person's temperament. Zhiviks and easily excitable, sociable people are usually referred to as choleric people, there are also melancholic and sanguine people (a cross between the first two). The division is very arbitrary, let this first characteristic be the starting point.
Step 2
Next, you should understand how a person builds relationships with the outside world. Communicating, outgoing people are extroverts. Introverts are those who focus on their inner world and limit contact with the outside.
Step 3
The character of a person is best manifested in his actions, they speak for themselves. It happens that a boy, who always considered himself timid, acts like a hero in an extreme situation. Observe how the characteristic a person gives to himself conflicts with his behavior in life.
Step 4
The revealed contradictions will help you discover not only obvious, but also hidden character traits. For example, a girl who censures someone for immoral behavior starts an affair in front of everyone with a married man. Do not rush to write her down as a scoundrel. Perhaps in this way her hidden temperament is manifested, which she stubbornly denies.
Step 5
There are also large discrepancies between how a person characterizes himself and how he is seen from the outside. Ask what your mutual acquaintances think of your neighbor Masha, and you will be amazed at the range of opinions. As you conduct further surveys carefully, you will likely identify some overlapping characteristics. They will become your guideline.
Step 6
Use a clever trick. Ask the person to tell you what they think of others. When characterizing others, we often describe ourselves. Notice what he condemns. Often in others, we do not like what we do not accept in ourselves.
Step 7
Bring all the information received together, add your own impressions. If possible, test according to the Schmishek method, Eysenck, or pick up psychological surveys from popular magazines. You will be able to compare the results of your own impromptu research with the test data.
