The term character is often used as a synonym for personality, but it is not the same. Personality refers to the set of characteristics of a person that leads him to behave, think and feel in a particular way.
On the contrary, the character is somewhat broader; It includes personal attributes, in addition to religious, social, and moral beliefs. Basically, personality refers to our way of behaving (extroversion, responsibility, kindness, being open), while character refers to beliefs that lead us to have certain attitudes.
In any case, when in popular language we speak of "personality" or "character", we refer to the ability to think for oneself, to be independent and not to be carried away by the crowd..
