Character is a set of mental traits that make up a person's personality. It manifests itself in the external actions of a person: actions, attitude towards people and objects around them. In fact, it is impossible to define character by any criterion other than behavior.

Step 1
The defining character trait is temperament. Psychologists believe that this trait does not change throughout life, but its intensity can change. The temperament system is based on the doctrine of two types of behavior - introverted and extroverted.
The nature of an introvert is determined by external isolation, a person avoids large noisy companies, limits the circle of friends to one or two people. An extrovert, on the other hand, is oriented towards the outside world, has a large number of contacts and acquaintances. Features of his character are expressed in behavior much more strongly than that of an introvert, since he is not used to hiding feelings and limiting external manifestations.
Step 2
Recently, some psychologists have begun to identify a third type of behavior - ambivert (Latin ambi - around). A person of this type feels equally comfortable in large and small companies, in public and in solitude. In his character, traits of both an introvert and an extrovert can appear.
Step 3
An extrovert person is prone to impulsive behavior. Depending on the type of temperament (choleric or sanguine), he differs, respectively, in a higher or lower reaction rate. Such people find it difficult to focus on monotonous work. Sanguine people tend to scatter energy on several things at once and, as a result, give up everything halfway. Choleric people for their intemperance often cause disapproval and irritation among introverts, especially phlegmatic people. The gestures of these two types are active and sweeping.
Step 4
Introverts (phlegmatic and melancholic) at the first meeting create the impression of calmness and poise, since their external manifestations are restrained and almost invisible. Phlegmatic people can be defined by their slowness, reaching some lethargy, but for them this behavior is the norm, caused by the need to think about each step. In this regard, they feel such dislike for choleric people who react to any event instantly, without hesitation and looking to the future. Melancholic people are prone to self-pity, depression and blues, but disclose their experiences only in extreme cases and only to very close friends.
