7 ways to find out a person's character

To know someone well is very difficult. This is because the measurement of morality is different across individuals and individual's appearance does not tell us much about their characters too. There are people who looks gentle and kind but are actually scheming. There are people who looks humble but are actually liars. There are people who looks brave but are actually timid. There are people who looks to give its all but are actually disloyal. Although it is difficult, still there are seven ways of knowing someone.

1. Sow discord to see one's loyalty is towards who.
2. Use strong words to arouse one's anger, so as to see how he reacts and also his magnanimity.
3. Ask for one's opinion on certain plans to see how knowledgeable he is.
4. Inform one that a crisis is imminent and observe how brave he is.
5. Make one drunk, so as to observe his true character and moral.
6. Attempt to bribe one so as to see if he is corrupt.
7. Give one some tasks, so as to see if he is able to keep promises
