Character can be defined as the sum of qualities that defines a person including a person’s intellect,thoughts,ideas etc…We would all benefit from being more aware of our characteristics and personality traits.That’s because they are significant predictors of our behaviors and attitudes.Without a clear idea of one’s own preferences, making the right choice can be extremely difficult and confusing.Everyone’s personality is unique, and knowing what makes us can lead to more satisfaction,better life choices, and overall success in both personal and professional spheres.
