Personality qualities are a distinctive set of features inherent in a person, expressing the originality of states, psychological processes, aspects of character and behavioral models in society or the natural environment. The qualities of a person's personality are always personal. They have quantitative characteristics, as a result of which they are measured by degree, stage of development or level.
A personal set of traits is simultaneously characterized by stability (at the time of measurement) and dynamism, in other words, they are in constant development (over the years of human existence). Their production and transformation is due to many conditions of biological orientation and social character. Their emergence and further development is influenced by significant impact spirituality of the individual.
What it is
The personal qualities of people are the so-called personal "attributes" of a person, affecting all possible aspects of his life, from the choice of daily wardrobe to professional preferences. Simply put, these are innate characteristics and acquired character traits. Some personal parameters can be modified due to the influence of society, life circumstances, others remain constant. There is an opinion among psychologists that most personality traits are formed in the first five years of the existence of the crumbs, in subsequent years they are only subject to adjustment.
Innate personality traits include various features character. So, for example, Cattell lists among them, the features of the flow of the processes of memorization and perception, memory, musical or artistic talent, the fundamental properties of temperament.
In turn, Jung followed a similar theory and divided people according to their main subtypes into intuitive, feeling, feeling, thinking.
Particularly influenced personal characteristics when choosing a profession. Most psychologists argue that a person who has an unsuitable character for the chosen activity will never be able to achieve success in it.
At the same time, each sphere of employment is characterized by a separate set of desirable personality traits and undesirable ones. For example, a successful businessman needs the following “attributes”: diligence, independence, purposefulness, self-esteem adequacy, courage, responsibility, initiative, and communication skills. In addition, such parameters as uncertainty, aggressiveness and tactlessness should be absent from him.
The teacher must have observation, an adequate level of exactingness, tact. He should be balanced and attentive, but at the same time it is better for him not to have a tendency to aggressive manifestations, not to be closed, irresponsible and non-punctual.
All the qualities inherent in the personality, and found throughout its existence, are connected in pairs. They have a positive component and a negative color in accordance with their orientation.
The main qualities of a person show the specifics of mental phenomena, features and states of a person, express his character traits, temperament, the peculiarity of behavior, the originality of interaction with society, the environment, and his own person. Simply put, they show the individual psychological attributes of a person. Also, these qualities include the subject's skills, knowledge and skills.
The person who knows what is personal qualities, can identify them in himself in order to outline the course and ways of corrective work.
In addition, such knowledge will help to better understand relatives, colleagues and just surrounding subjects, contribute to optimal interaction with society and maintain relationships.
Thus, knowing your own personal characteristics is necessary in order to understand how to further develop yourself. Whereas understanding the characteristics of other subjects is important for determining compatibility and guessing which relationships can be established.
Positive qualities are usually maintained and steadily developed, from negative ones - most people are diligently trying to get rid of or correct.
At the same time, the division of personal qualities into parameters with a positive color and with a negative component is very conditional, since it is based on generally established moral standards. It should be understood that a non-black component will not be white, therefore, personality characteristics cannot be divided into good qualities and bad parameters.
Traditionally, the following are considered negative personal qualities: deceit, duplicity, irresponsibility, neglect, aggressiveness, rudeness, intemperance, laziness, slovenliness, rudeness, hatred, excessive selfishness, inertia, weakness of character, slovenliness, insecurity, touchiness, cowardice, greed, coldness, indifference , excessive self-criticism, envy, vindictiveness, as well as many others. 
These traits give rise to the corresponding behavior. For example, a lazy subject is lazy in any activity, and an irresponsible one invariably lets others down.
The presence of the above negative parameters harms both their owner and society, close people. However, they are excellently amenable to correction. With a little effort, you can improve your own being, relationships with loved ones, colleagues and just become happier.
Among the positive components of an individual's personality, such as: kindness, compassion, empathy, diligence, responsibility, patience, peacefulness, diligence, friendliness, culture, morality, reliability, disinterestedness, directness, truthfulness, confidence, intelligence, prudence, optimism, purposefulness, cheerfulness , vigor, accuracy, attentiveness, tenderness, caring. There are many more traits with a positive color than listed, as well as negative components.
The listed parameters with a “+” sign generate appropriate skills and abilities in the work environment, personal interaction, social life.
From the above list of qualities with a negative and positive color, it can be seen that there are traits that express a person's attitude to society, work, the world, things. This is because the individual set of characteristics of a person is found in everything, from his friendships to the way he dresses.
There are no people who are entirely composed of "good" qualities, but there are a huge number of individuals in whom positive traits prevail. At the same time, each individual can minimize the number of negative qualities in himself, replacing them with positive antagonists.
Socio-psychological qualities
Every day people have to interact with society, expressing their own communication skills and a complex of socio-psychological personality traits.
The concept of "personality" itself implies a certain quality, since each subject must develop independently in own person personality. No one is born immediately as a person.

It includes the following stages of analysis:
- I. Determination of a person's own opinion about himself. At the same time, character traits manifested in relation to oneself, namely modesty, or confidence, or insecurity, the ability to calculate one's own strengths, self-criticism, or determination and courage, or self-control and perseverance, or lack of will and lethargy.
- II. Determination of the attitude of the analyzed subject to the people around him. If there are such qualities as honesty and justice, sociability and politeness, tact or rudeness, contempt, etc., then you need to find out to what extent.

How to recognize the individuality of a person?
Understanding what characteristics of a person characterize him as a person can help in many areas, especially in a professional environment.
The concept of "personality" is interpreted as a person with purely individual qualities that depend on the social environment. It can be emotional features, and strong-willed, and intellectual.
List of signs correlated with the individual
There is a grouping of certain features that allow you to recognize a person, namely:
- a subject who is aware of the totality of his social traits;
- a person participating in the socio-cultural life of society;
- a person who has individual characteristics that are manifested in social relationships through communication and work;
- the individual is clearly aware of his peculiarity and significance in the social world.
The concept of personality implies that the subject has a clearly expressed own opinion in relation to what is happening around him, that is, there is a worldview. The individual always asks philosophical questions about life, about its own significance in this world. In other words, there are ideas, views and formatives of a given person.
Being born, a new personality receives a unique character as a gift. Human nature can consist of traits inherited from parents, or it can manifest itself in a completely different, unexpected quality.
Nature not only determines behavioral reactions, it specifically affects the manner of communication, attitude towards others and one's own person, to work. Character traits of a person create a certain worldview in a person.
A person's behavioral responses depend on the nature
These two definitions create confusion, because both of them are involved in the formation of personality and behavioral responses. In fact, the character and temperament are heterogeneous:
- The character is formed from a list of certain acquired qualities of the personality's mental make-up.
- Temperament is a biological quality. Psychologists distinguish four types of it: choleric, melancholic, sanguine and phlegmatic.
Having the same warehouse of temperament, individuals can have a completely different character. But temperament has an important influence on the development of nature - smoothing or sharpening it. Also, human nature directly affects temperament.
What is character
Psychologists, speaking of character, mean a certain combination of traits of an individual, persistent in their expression. These traits have the maximum impact on the behavioral line of the individual in diverse relationships:
- among people;
- in the work team;
- to one's own personality;
- to the surrounding reality;
- to physical and mental labor.
The word "character" Greek origin, it means "to mint". This definition was introduced by the naturalist Ancient Greece Theophrastus philosopher. Such a word really, very accurately defines the nature of the individual.
Theophrastus first coined the term "character" The character seems to be drawn as a unique drawing, it gives rise to a unique seal that a person wears in a single copy.
Simply put, character is a combination, a combination of stable individual mental characteristics.
How to understand nature
To understand what kind of nature an individual has, you need to analyze all his actions. It is behavioral reactions that determine examples of character and characterize the personality.
But this judgment is often subjective. Far from always a person reacts as intuition tells him. Actions are influenced by upbringing, life experience, customs of the environment where the person lives.
But you can understand what kind of character a person has. Observing and analyzing the actions of a certain person for a long time, one can identify individual, especially stable features. If a person in completely different situations behaves in the same way, showing similar reactions, makes the same decision - this indicates the presence of a certain nature in him.
Knowing which character traits are manifested and dominated by a person, it is possible to predict how she will manifest herself in a given situation.
Character and traits
A character trait is an important part of a personality; it is a stable quality that determines the interaction of a person and the surrounding reality. This is a defining method of resolving emerging situations, so psychologists consider a trait of nature as a predictable personal behavior.
Variety of characters A person acquires features of character in the course of the entire life span, it is impossible to attribute individual features of nature to innate and characterological. In order to analyze and evaluate the personality, the psychologist does not simply determine the totality individual characteristics, but also highlights their distinctive features.
It is the traits of character that are defined as leading in the study and compilation psychological characteristics personality.
But, defining, evaluating a person, studying the features of behavior in the social plan, the psychologist also uses knowledge of the content orientation of nature. It is defined in:
- strength-weakness;
- latitude-narrowness;
- static-dynamic;
- integrity-contradiction;
- integrity-fragmentation.
Such nuances constitute a general, complete description of a particular person.
List of personality traits
Human nature is the most complex cumulative combination of peculiar features, which is formed into a unique system. This order includes the most striking, stable personal qualities, which are revealed in the gradations of human-society relationships:
| Relationship system | Inherent traits of an individual | |
| Plus | Minus | |
| To self | fastidiousness | Condescension |
| Self-criticism | Narcissism | |
| Meekness | Boastfulness | |
| Altruism | Egocentrism | |
| To the people around | Sociability | Closure |
| Complacency | Callousness | |
| Sincerity | deceitfulness | |
| Justice | Injustice | |
| Commonwealth | Individualism | |
| sensitivity | Callousness | |
| Courtesy | shamelessness | |
| To work | organization | Laxity |
| obligatory | stupidity | |
| diligence | slovenliness | |
| Enterprise | inertia | |
| industriousness | laziness | |
| to items | frugality | Waste |
| thoroughness | Negligence | |
| Neatness | Negligence | |
In addition to character traits included by psychologists in the gradation of relationships (a separate category), manifestations of nature in the moral, temperamental, cognitive and sthenic spheres were identified:
- moral: humanity, rigidity, sincerity, good nature, patriotism, impartiality, responsiveness;
- temperamental: gambling, sensuality, romance, liveliness, receptivity; passion, frivolity;
- intellectual (cognitive): analyticity, flexibility, inquisitiveness, resourcefulness, efficiency, criticality, thoughtfulness;
- sthenic (volitional): categoricalness, perseverance, obstinacy, stubbornness, purposefulness, timidity, courage, independence.
Many leading psychologists are inclined to believe that some personality traits should be divided into two categories:
- Productive (motivational). Such traits push a person to commit certain acts and actions. This is the goal-feature.
- Instrumental. Giving personality during any activity individuality and way (manners) of action. These are traits.
Gradation of character traits according to Allport
Allport's theory
The famous American psychologist Gordon Allport, an expert and developer of gradations of personality traits of an individual, divided personality traits into three classes:
Dominant. Such features most clearly reveal the behavioral form: actions, activities of a certain person. These include: kindness, selfishness, greed, secrecy, gentleness, modesty, greed.
Normal. They are equally manifested in all the numerous spheres of human life. These are: humanity, honesty, generosity, arrogance, altruism, egocentrism, cordiality, openness.
Secondary. These nuances do not have a particular effect on behavioral responses. These are not dominant behaviors. These include musicality, poetry, diligence, diligence.
A strong relationship is formed between the traits of nature existing in a person. This regularity forms the final character of the individual.
But any existing structure has its own hierarchy. The warehouse of man was no exception. This nuance is traced in Allport's proposed gradation structure, where minor features can be suppressed by dominant ones. But in order to predict the act of a person, it is necessary to focus on the totality of the features of nature..
What is typicality and individuality
In the manifestation of the nature of each personality, it always reflects the individual and typical. This is a harmonious combination of personal qualities, because the typical serves as the basis for identifying the individual.
What is a typical character. When a person has a certain set of traits that are the same (common) for a particular group of people, such a warehouse is called typical. Like a mirror, it reflects the accepted and habitual conditions for the existence of a particular group.
Also, typical features depend on the warehouse (a certain type of nature). They are also a condition for the appearance of a behavioral type of character, in the category of which a person is “recorded”.
Having understood exactly what signs are inherent in a given personality, a person can make an average (typical) psychological picture and assign a certain type of temperament. For example:
| positive | negative |
| Choleric | |
| Activity | Incontinence |
| Energy | irascibility |
| Sociability | Aggressiveness |
| Determination | Irritability |
| Initiative | Rudeness in communication |
| Impulsiveness | Behavior instability |
| Phlegmatic person | |
| persistence | Low activity |
| performance | slowness |
| calmness | immobility |
| Consistency | uncommunicative |
| Reliability | Individualism |
| good faith | laziness |
| sanguine | |
| Sociability | Rejection of monotony |
| Activity | Superficiality |
| benevolence | Lack of persistence |
| adaptability | bad perseverance |
| Cheerfulness | Frivolity |
| Courage | Recklessness in actions |
| Resourcefulness | Inability to focus |
| melancholic | |
| Sensitivity | Closure |
| Impressionability | Low activity |
| diligence | uncommunicative |
| Restraint | Vulnerability |
| cordiality | Shyness |
| Accuracy | Poor performance |
Such typical character traits corresponding to a certain temperament are observed in each (to one degree or another) representative of the group.
individual manifestation. Relationships between individuals always have an evaluative characteristic, they are manifested in a rich variety of behavioral reactions. On the manifestation of the individual traits of the individual has big influence emerging circumstances, a formed worldview and a certain environment.
This feature is reflected in the brightness of various typical features of the individual. They are not the same in intensity and develop in each individual individually.
Some typical features are so powerfully manifested in a person that they become not just individual, but unique.
In this case, typicality develops, by definition, into individuality. This classification of personality helps to identify the negative characteristics of the individual that prevent them from expressing themselves and achieving a certain position in society.
Working on himself, analyzing and correcting the shortcomings in his own character, each person creates the life he aspires to.
