What are the qualities of character?

When we talk about the nature of a person, we mean the totality of his features, manifested in communicating with us or other people. Such features are great, and it is extremely difficult to classify. But to give at least some clarity they are conditionally divided into positive and negative. Conditionally, because in different situations, the characteristics of the character play a different role, there are cases when the traits are considered positive, they acquire a negative color. For example, persistence can turn into an unpleasant intrusiveness, without bringing a person any positive dividends. Therefore, there can be no clear distinction here.
