What is personality made of?
This is a whole set of qualities that shape a person’s personality. Therefore, it is interesting to find out what qualities influence the formation of character. What is it for? Knowing what type a person belongs to, you can predict his behavior, and as a result, avoid troubles or not demand from him what he is not able to fulfill.
The science of psychology identifies primary and secondary character traits . What does it mean? Not all character traits will manifest themselves in the same way in a person’s behavior.
For example, a fearful person may fight for the truth, although he will be afraid of the consequences of his actions. The leading trait will be timidity, the rest are secondary. Another example: someone who is rude to other people may turn out to be a hardworking, responsible person.
Swiss psychologist K. Jung derived his distinction of characters by type. He based it on the predominant functions of the psyche, dividing it into types.
- Introverts are closed, introverted people. They isolate themselves from reality, although they are not alien to the analysis of all current events, but at the same time they can suspect everyone of dual actions. An introvert has almost no friends because it is difficult for him to get close to people. He prefers loneliness and is not inclined to change habits. Introverts are anxious, suspicious people who greatly value their precious health.
- An extrovert is a sociable, direct, active, open, predictable person. He has many friends because he does not like being alone. He often becomes the life of the party, loves fun and travel, but hardly takes care of his health. In public life, he focuses on the situation, and not on someone’s opinion.

The same character trait may manifest itself differently in different individuals. For example, one person’s courage is reasonable, another’s is reckless. Goodwill can be both sincere and feigned.
Note! The same character trait manifests itself differently in people because their actions and reactions are based on different interests, motivations and motivations. This is what makes character traits individual.
The definition of “typical traits” can mean that each person has specific characteristics. They are determined by age, upbringing and living conditions. All people have individual and typical traits. The typical manifests itself in each person individually.

They often withdraw into themselves and reflect on life. They are indecisive in making any decisions, especially on serious issues. They prefer to avoid conflict situations in which they feel vulnerable and defenseless.
But the tendency to think about life can be turned into a plus. There are many great writers, philosophers, and musicians among melancholic people.

What does the drawing tell you?
Often psychologists ask you to draw something on a certain topic. Based on sketches, character traits can be identified not only by a psychologist, but by parents in their children or a supervisor in a job applicant. How to determine character from a drawing:
- Individuals with bursting energy and self-confidence make a large sketch, spreading it across the entire sheet of paper.
- A person with a weak will, shy, makes small drawings, as if afraid of taking someone else’s place.
- To better recognize the character of nature, mentally divide the sheet into upper and lower, right and left parts. People with a high opinion of themselves place the drawing closer to the top edge, while indecisive individuals - to the bottom.
- A drawing going to the left zone of the sheet means a person moving away from conflicts, often living in the past.
- Placing sketches on the right means looking towards the future.
- If the author likes rounded figures and smooth lines, then this is a dreamy, kindest person.
- An optimist will depict the sun, clouds, flowers.
- Intertwining circles will be drawn by a person seeking care and understanding from loved ones.
- He who loves to plan everything and goes towards his goal will sketch geometric shapes. An aggressive person will create sharp edges.
- Waves, spirals, curls will be depicted by a person who is confused and looking for a way out of the current situation. These symbols also indicate an ambitious person.
- The author of honeycombs, all kinds of cells, wants to create a family.
- But a grid or chessboard indicates that a person is in a difficult situation. He urgently needs support or even immediate help.
Choleric
Choleric people often experience mood swings. Frequent outbursts of anger are characteristic of this type of temperament . However, anger passes as quickly as it begins.
Despite their temper, choleric people are not vindictive. Any grievances are quickly forgotten.
At work they show themselves as proactive employees. They are happy to perform tasks that require a lively and energetic mind. On the other hand, monotonous work causes boredom in choleric people.
If a choleric person is able to curb his outbursts of anger, then a job that requires communication - a manager, public relations administrator, and the like - will bring him pleasure.

Character by date of birth
Personality can be determined by date of birth.
Look at the example . Date of birth: 06/15/1986. Now add up all the numbers: 1+5=6, 0+6=6, 1+9+8+6=24. After that, add it this way: 6+6+24=36. Next, get a single-digit number: 3+6=9. Person code is 9.
Characteristics of numbers:
- a confident, bright, strong-willed person who achieves everything in life on his own.
- They are looking for peace in life, they do not strive to occupy leadership positions or start a family.
- people are creative, unpredictable, and can shock with their actions. Popular in bohemian circles.

- Sevens are distinguished by a rich inner world, so they are often considered unusual people. They live in a fantasy world, oblivious to real life. Those who are very fixated on work or everyday hardships cannot be their friends. If they find similar people, then their friendship begins almost instantly.
- stubborn people are not ready to endure what they don’t like. They will only do what they find satisfaction in. They will not waste time on a person for whom they do not feel tender emotions. They are not afraid of change. If they are not satisfied with something in life, they can turn their life around 360 degrees and start all over again.
- Nine, these are real philosophers, can reflect on life for years, being alone, not wanting to solve routine problems. Creativity, science or dangerous, complex professions - this is their purpose.

Kretschmer's theory
This German scientist divided the personality and character of a person into three main groups in psychology. To each of them he classified people with different physiological characteristics:
- Asthenics. Such people have a thin physique, thin legs and arms, and rather weak muscles. In Kretschmerian psychology, such an individual corresponds to the personality and character of a person of the schizothymic type. These are people who are characterized by stubbornness and poor adaptation to a changing environment, as well as isolation.
- Athletics. These people have a fairly strong muscular body and an ixothymic type of character. Such an individual stands out for his calmness, practicality, authority, and restraint.
- Picnics. The figures of such people are quite dense and in most cases are overweight. Picnicians can be distinguished by their large head, short neck and small facial features. Their character is characterized by sociability, quick adaptation to changing conditions and emotionality.
