Answer

It is difficult to truly judge the character of another person, because a deceitful person can hide is real character. But there are ways to help to judge others.

First, always try to think the best of another person.

Be observant of other people. Know that some may be good and some may be bad, so deal with them with caution.

If someone offers something that is too good to be true, then you should be suspicious, because it probably is too good to be true.

If you judge a person to be good and he fools you, then shame on that person. But if he fools you the second time, then shame on you for being fooled twice.

Remember that it is better to be a good person and be incorrect about the character of someone else than to be suspicious of everyone.

Dealing with other people is a skill that must be developed. You are not alone in misjudging others. But just try your best.

Answer

You can tell your friend's personality by the impression she makes on you. But her character is inside of her, what she has learned, and how she deals with situations. By observing how a person deals with problems, you can get a good idea of her character. Is she hard-working, courageous and thoughtful? Is she honest, considerate and reliable? Or is she the opposite in some of those areas?
