Despite the fact that each person is a unique and individual person, psychologists distinguish several basic types of character that can manifest themselves more or less in different people. Knowing the type of your character, you can use its features for your own benefit, form a suitable lifestyle and type of activity.
Instruction manual
one
To determine the type of character, take a simple test to determine whether the right or left side of the body controls you in a number of situations. Gather your fingers into the lock and note that the left or right thumb is on top. If the left thumb is on top, then you are prone to emotionality, and if the right is your analytical mind.
2
Take a pencil in an outstretched hand and point it at any point in space. Then squint your eyes one at a time and determine which eye is leading, and when you squint your eye, the target begins to move. If the target shifts when the left eye is squeezed, you have a soft character, and if the right one - you have a solid and persistent character.
3
Also try to cross your arms over your chest. If the left hand is more often on the top than the right, you are prone to cunning, and if the right - to ingenuity. Then clap your hands with your hands criss-cross. Decide which hand is more convenient for you to clap. If you are left, it is not easy for you to make decisions, but if you are right, you are a persistent and decisive person. Different combinations of results in this simple test allow you to determine the main features of your character.

In addition, in psychology, individual accentuations of personality or character traits are strongly expressed in a particular person. The demonstrative type of character is distinguished by a desire to stand out, artistry, a desire to attract attention. These people tend to constantly change the scope of their activity, they are not able to concentrate on anything for a long time.
5
The pedantic type of character is characterized by too long meditations before making this or that decision. Such people are prone to increased accuracy, scrupulousness and seriousness. The excitable type of character is controlled not by logic, but by feelings and drives. Excitable people are very impulsive and harsh, as well as prone to conflict. People with an alarming type of character are prone to self-doubt, fear and timidity, are distinguished by unnatural behavior and self-criticism.
6
There is also a hypertyme type of character - people with it are characterized by increased optimism and enthusiasm, they are constantly thirsty for activity, often enjoy authority and have success in the team. The opposite of the hyperthymic type is the dysthymic type. These people are prone to pessimism, they are gloomy and do not differ in emotionality.
7
If a person often alternates hyperthymic and dysthymic states, he has a labile or cyclothymic type of character. There are also exalted personalities who react violently and emotionally to any events around them.

Not always these types of character are embodied in a pure form in one person, but you can examine the features of your behavior and correlate it with the described types in order to determine what features of them are often found in your own character.
