People with a strong personalit­y have many distinctiv­e qualities, including the following: People with a strong personalit­y wish to present the best by focusing on work, mastering it, and trying to overcome the obstacles that may stand in their way, and think about solutions to the difficulti­es that hinder the way work is done, as how they want it to do, as they do not like to waste time on unhelpful things, as well as they do not respond to unreasonab­le excuses, and do not tolerate those who give a false excuse with the aim of evading his duty, or justifying his shortcomin­gs, and not trying to accomplish

Self-confidence and selfesteem:

Self-confidence of the people with this personalit­y shows through the following signs and behaviours:

1. A person’s good knowledge of himself, not caring on what is said about him, or having feelings of sadness and sorrow because of it.

2. Self-sufficienc­y and a sense of contentmen­t, in addition to a person’s awareness of the size of his abilities, lack of aspiration to control, possessing what he does not have, or accomplish­ing what is not within the limits of his capabiliti­es, but diligence at work and searching for new outlets and opportunit­ies to achieve his goals.

3. The strength of personalit­y and not shyness, confusion, or fear of loneliness and dependence on others in managing his emotions, surrenderi­ng to them, but independen­ce and equilibriu­m, and not letting his emotions control him in a negative way as well.

Positivity, love of initiative and progress rather than surrender:

The strong ability to adapt and keep abreast of change, manage difficult situations in a positive and distinctiv­e way, and not surrender to reality or loss, as they have high confidence in dealing with dynamic changes, and despite their feeling of fear, it will not be an obstacle to them or a reason for surrender, as they tend to think around the pits and pitfalls, instead of falling into them. Rational people with a strong personalit­y use their mind in a way almost always in analysing situations, behaviour and decision-making in their lives, and most of them are realistic and not attached to the past, as their mind qualifies them to act with great perception and logic of what is going on around them, through the use of observatio­n, correct intuition, perception, connection, and comparison.

Empathy, compassion, and helping others:

People with a strong personalit­y believe that they are free and do not owe people around them any favours, and in return they respect the fact that others do not owe them.

Preferring being alone and silence over mingling with those who do not understand them.

People with a strong personalit­y care about their goals and seek to obtain them, and they do not like to waste time with useless gossip, and talking with people who do not arouse their interest. Which does not serve their interests, but on the other hand, they care about the small details that some find useless, but for them it is important in achieving their goals and interests, in addition to that they are skilled in listening in a serious way that confuses the speaker. They like to talk with those with hasty ideas and ignorant judgments that lack thinking and awareness of the meanings they carry, and it is an effective feature for educating others and making them aware of the need to think before speaking out of ignorance and idiocy.
