6.2.2 Describing personality
How do you describe someone's personality? What would you say is your best friend, family member or boss like?
Let's divide the characteristics in two groups: positive and negative personality traits.
If someone makes friends easily we say they are friendly. Such people might be kind, talkative, open-minded, easy-going and optimistic. They can be helpful, tolerant and witty. Intelligent people are usually thoughtful and reasonable, but sometimes absent-minded.
We all have some negative qualities. Some people are lazy, some are intolerant of other social groups. Sometimes we get jealous or envious. Employers might be arrogant or bossy. Some people might be very active and chaotic, some might be rather calm and quiet.
Are you an extrovert or introvert? What are you? Extroverts are people who are very sociable, friendly, easy-going and they are not afraid of communicating with other people. They usually like to spend their free time with their friends chatting and meeting new people. Sometimes they tend to show off or boast. Sometimes they might be a little eccentric and enjoy attention. Introverts on the other hand are usually very quiet and sensitive. They do not prefer to be in a loud, crowded environment. Sometimes they appear dreamy or shy. They might feel awkward or clumsy when they have to speak in public. But they might be very talented and make good friends once you get to know them.
