Personality is a combination of DNA, disposition and temperament and is the result of right or left brain dominance. A person’s personality defines how they respond to the world around them with consistent patterns of thinking, feelings, attitude and behaviour. These patterns are displayed with predictive characteristics. Character relates to core values, moral qualities, philosophical and spiritual beliefs. Character qualities are integrity, honesty, kindness, love, loyalty, reliability and courage. Character impacts on thinking, choices, actions and are indicators of personality traits.
 
Understanding personality traits is vital for healthy relationships in families and the workplace. It enables people to know and accommodate one another, be protective and have success. Personality types have strengths and weaknesses and it is beneficial to reflect on both. These reveal the traits that can be reinforced and the ones that need adjusting. They all reflect the processes of thinking, feelings, behaviour and choices.
