Step 1
As often happens, people spend a lot of time together and think that they know each other well. But only until something out of the ordinary happens, and the person shows himself from a completely different side. He can demonstrate leadership qualities, show amazing strength of character, but it also happens that not his best features are manifested. It can be concluded that critical situations reveal the personality of people best. Of course, this does not mean that you need to create serious problems for others and watch how they behave. But you can, for example, go on a joint trip to nature. Try to pull the person out of their usual conditions, and you will learn a lot about him.
Step 2
It is not for nothing that modern society is considered informational. Social networks, blogs and all kinds of web resources are an integral part of our life. If you want to get to know a person, analyze the information that you can glean about him from the Internet. Social networks often include profiles in which people tell a lot about themselves. You can view a person's accounts on various resources to find out more about their interests and hobbies. If the person you are interested in has a blog, then read it. Experiences and thoughts - what can better characterize a person's personality?
Step 3
Psychological tests can reveal a lot about personality. Choose the ones that give the most serious and accurate results. For example, to determine the temperament or socionic type. You don't need a lot of tests, one or two is enough. Do not pounce on a person with a requirement to pass them, but rather carefully mention in a conversation that you are very interested in psychology, you came across an amazingly interesting test that gave a rather unexpected and useful result. If you manage to interest the interlocutor so that he also passes the test and shares the result with you, then you will learn a lot of interesting things. Usually, it is not difficult to arouse interest in such things, since finding out something new about yourself is interesting for almost every person.
Step 4
Face-to-face communication is the best way to get to know someone better. Don't be afraid to ask, start a conversation about topics that interest you. If the interlocutor realizes that you are interested in what he is telling, then he himself will tell a lot about himself that you did not ask about. Only by communicating will you be able to draw reliable conclusions about the personality of the one you want to get to know better. After all, all other methods have drawbacks: if conclusions are drawn according to some signs, then you can easily make a mistake, mistaking one for the other.
