How long does it take on a new job to actually figure out the character of other people?

There is no known length of time needed in order to know the character of people. But the more you observe them and the more you interact with them, the more you get to really know their character.


Personality is easier. some times all it takes is a few minutes to identify their personality but it takes a while to get to know the character of a person.


Personality is revealed by their outward behaviour but character involves the contents of a person's heart and motives.How long does it take on a new job to actually figure out the character of other people?
Well, it depends upon the person.





Some people are just good at picking out characters...I'm one of them.





On my first day, I get a vibe off of people, and immediately know who I can possibly trust in the future, and who to steer away from.





Some people, it takes months...it just depends upon the person.How long does it take on a new job to actually figure out the character of other people?
A day and two hours!
1 day -- 24 hrs


then i will know who i am dealing with !
I would have to say as long as it would take any other time. I wuold also suggest not tomake friends , close ones anyway, right away. Cause you never know. Be polite, eventually you will know what ppl are all about.Good luck mama.
You probably will not see the real persom emerge until at least 6 to 12 months. If someone is a phony, they will appear all nice and smiles, but, to really know their character, you'd have to see them in different situations and how they respond.
just depends on said individuals that you work with. if they are really open with you then it should not take long at all. but if they like to keep secrets and seem very closed door type of person then it could take quite a bit longer. but i would in all reality say maybe it takes about a month or so to really figure out and get into a really good groove with the average co-worker. good luck MG and hope you enjoying the new job. love ya and hope to talk again soon......Jay
It depends on the person doing the 'figuring' AND on the person being 'figured'.





In a new job you'd expect to find you know most people's characters fairly well by the time you feel comfortable with all aspects of the job position (when you begin to feel part of the well-oiled machine) which tends to be proportional to the number of coworker interactions required as of course you won't feel relaxed until you know how the other parts of the machine in your proximity work. 'How long does this usually take you?' is the answer to your question.








More info:


Some people are exceptionally empathetic which allows them to grasp the character of an individual in a matter of seconds/minutes but some people just can't connect with anyone. On average you'd except to be towards the former side of the range (humans are naturally evolved to be empathetic beings).


Typically the time is shortened considerably by talking to the person. Talk about something they want to talk about and it can be a matter of seconds.





Also the person whom you're trying to discover the character of may be an exceptionally closed individual which would make them very difficult to judge. I once ran into a man in a B%26amp;B and percieved him to be quite friendly but strangely I couldn't grasp his character any deeper than that (which is unusual for me). It turned out he was a conman and I'd been to trusting and so didn't see pass his façade (the friendliness was real but probably existed for exceptional reasons).


I guess empathy is a limitless skill you can always find ways to improve. (I now am more ready to question my own assumptions.)





You'll tend to find that the more open you are the more willing people are to be open to you [unless they're conmen - which is how I expect I'll recognise them from now on ;) ] and the more open they are to you the faster and easier it is to judge character.


A final point of warning; NEVER assume you know someone completely. All perceptions should be left malleable or else you may find you miss crucial details - not everything comes readily at once and the longer you've known someone the better you'll be at determining their character.
one week.
Depends on individuals or you! get to know those who are around you..get to know them or watch and see what they do and the typse of world that come from out of their mouth


...Of course, when people get to know each other, they become more aware of the other’s weaknesses as well as strengths. Still, we should not let this hold us back from making friends. “
IT COULD TAKE A LIFETIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!











just kiddin
for most- less than a week. For a few, up to a year.
1 month or so....well m a student 18 yrs ....but still i guess 1 month is enuf.
a month
if your an observer like I am the first two day should tell you everything you need to know about everyone
Personally, my first impressions are usually right 90% of the time. Sometimes they change - towards the positive but in time they change back.
You can never really work anyone out 100% . Everyone is hiding something. :)
it depends on you ^^
at least a month
It depends on the individual, some takes days or more but u cant be 100% sure about what is in other people's heart.
It depends on how good you are in reading Body Language!


In this language, Women are generally better than men.


If you interact with people regularly, you can figure out their nature in about a couple of day's time for each person.
About a month or so.
1 to 2 hours maybe


or the day
46,576,978 seconds
it depends on ur ability to understand other people,and how fast u can mix up with ur coworkers.
Depends on the people there. Open people show their true colors easily and quickly but it can be a year for deceptive people to show what they are really like. If you were there for a year, you would have a better idea of who they really are, than after a week or a month.
Depends on individuals!
depends on people scumbags tend to surface first. best of luck!
depends how deep u watches/interacts with the one can never be judged as looks can be deceiving
Been at my job 3 years, and I'm still trying to figure out some.


Some people are totally different at their work place. There are people that are serious and workaholics, but really fun outside of work.
Some people are pretty transparent and their true nature, good or bad can be deciphered pretty quickly. Others are more wiley and may fool you for quite some time.





There's no easy answer. I Always try to give people the benefit of the doubt in spite what others may say. If I've been warned, I'm more careful with that person. Otherwise I treat all people with the same respect and dignity that I expect from them and then I eventually find out who has the same respect for me.





Treat everyone well and those that are of good character will treat you well. those that aren't will show their true colors at some time and then you can deal with them accordingly.
