Character Markers

Character Markers

Character markers are behavioural, emotional, and cognitive characteristics that can indicate certain aspects of a person's personality. They are indicators or signs that can help understand a person's features, abilities, views, and preferences.

Let's look at examples of character markers.

The way a person expresses his emotions serves as a marker of his emotional expression. The reaction to stressful situations—panic, calmness, aggression, or passivity—can indicate certain traits of their character.

Communication style, i.e. the way a person interacts with others may reflect his level of confidence, social adaptation, and tolerance. 

Problem-solving methods—how a person approaches resolving difficult situations, whether it be through analysis, impulsive actions, or accepting the situation—can provide insight into his strategies and thinking methods. What a person considers important and valuable in life can serve as a marker of his moral and ethical beliefs.

The method of planning and organization, i.e., how a person plans his life and tasks, can indicate his foresight.

The way a person deals with risk and new situations can indicate his inclination towards exploration or a preference for the familiar.

It should be noted that several indicators do not define the entire personality of a person. However, markers can provide useful information about how a person makes decisions or shapes his behavior.
