Personality Characteristics
Our personalities are formed from numerous characteristics and we have a certain degree of each characteristic. Evaluating characteristics as just positive or negative traits is not a proper way to determine one’s qualification. For example, we judge people as dishonest or honest. A dishonest person cannot be trusted at all (zero trust) and an honest person can be trusted one hundred percent. Dividing people into only two groups creates an incorrect evaluation, however. The degree of trust could vary from 0 to 100, but each person has a certain degree of trust. There is no tool available to measure the degree of a characteristic to determine the property of a person, but we can evaluate roughly the degree of each characteristic in a person from 0 to 100. The following is a list of some characteristics. A careful study of the traits leads us to the importance of the role of the characteristics in our behavior and consequently the fact that we act and react according to the degree of our characteristics (DNA) affected by the environmental.
Below list of traits is not a complete list of personality characteristics. There are other traits that there are no names for them that's why we couldn't include them in this list such as one who likes a bright house and another likes a room with closed curtains. One who likes picnic and another who doesn't.
Notes about personality traits:
My friends tell me that I’m an organized person! For example, I always hang my keys on the key hanger. What’s the difference between me and those who leave their keys wherever they land? It would certainly be more comfortable to leave the keys wherever I want. What happens in my mind when I leave the keys in a certain place? Actually, the fear of future suffering looking for lost keys is greater than the want of present comfort enjoyment. The reason that some people leave their clothes, books, and other belongings anywhere they want is that the want of laziness joy is greater than the future fear of looking for their belongings.
What is laziness? The want of comfort is laziness. When you come home and change clothes, there is some suffering in hanging your clothes in the closet. So, you avoid the suffering and become lazy and leave all your clothes on the sofa or floor; however, you’ll suffer looking for a particular shirt or shoe when you need it. As a matter of fact, for the organized person, the fear of future suffering is greater than the want of present laziness enjoyment. The visualized future suffering in an unorganized person is less than the want of laziness enjoyment. That’s why an unorganized person doesn’t return his or her belongings to their place.
Punctuality:
The punctual person is one whose fear of others’ perceptions is always greater than the comfort of taking extra time for his or her appointments. This also applies to several other personality traits, such as responsibility, manners and discipline. Read more
