Every person is unique. He has his own unique appearance, interests, upbringing, predisposition to actions and character. Such traits may be similar in different people, but the totality of features will never be repeated. All this affects the feelings of a person that arises when interacting with society. The psychology of a person's character can help to understand oneself.
Character is a set of unique stable personality traits that reflect people's attitude to the world through their behavior and actions.
The outstanding German psychiatrist K. Leonhard divides the characters of people into 12 types. Let's take a closer look at them.
Extroverted. People with this type of character are sociable and open, have many friends and acquaintances, are attentive listeners, but are frivolous and verbose, prone to gossip.
Introverted - the opposite of extroverts, the peculiarity lies in isolation, the desire for reflection,integrity.
Emotive - a kind person who knows how to empathize, but tends to keep grievances inside himself and has a small social circle.
Demonstrative type - people are polite, artistic, interact with others without any problems. However, they can be hypocritical, selfish, boastful, lazy, and will gladly accept power and praise.
Ex alted. This type of character is possessed by very sociable, disinterested and emotional persons. The disadvantage lies in the tendency to hype and amorousness.
Pedantic personalities strictly follow all the rules, neat and reliable, conflict-free, but annoying and always dissatisfied with something.
Anxious type - people are timid, unsociable, self-critical, with low self-esteem. Their positive features are friendliness, diligence.
The characters of the stuck type are typical of moderately sociable, fair, ambitious and leadership-seeking individuals. Their disadvantage is tediousness, touchiness, vindictiveness and jealousy.
Excitable - a category of unsociable, scandalous, boring, irritable and quick-tempered persons. Their dignity is conscientiousness, accuracy, love for children and pets.
The characters of people with hyperthymic type are optimistic, actively interact with others, are sociable, have lively facial expressions. Their flaw is frivolity, irritability, irresponsibility, prone to conflicts.
Individuals of the distimic type - on the contrary, unsociable, friendly,serious and conscientious. The disadvantages include passivity, pessimism, slowness in movements.
Cycloid refers to people with frequent changes in mood and ways of communication.
The characters of people are closely interconnected with their temperament (that is, the mental manifestation of the nervous system). It is given to the individual from birth. With a great desire or under the influence of the outside world, the character of people is corrected, and it is almost impossible to change the temperament. In the best case, this will only be possible by 20-25%. It is divided into four categories: choleric, phlegmatic, sanguine, melancholic. In their pure form, they are not found in any person. Usually all groups are combined, but to varying degrees.
