Empathy
Generosity
Compassion
Integrity

If you do the right thing when no one is looking and then keep it to yourself then (at least in my book) that show character of a good person

I look to see how animals regard them. That is my first and best indicator.

Honesty, integrity, treating others with full dignity and respect, showing caring for others, lack of egocentrism.

If they aren't mean to me.

Honesty, Respect, Manners, Intelligent and Caring

I think it boils down to empathy. Does a person take the wellbeing of others into consideration when making decisions.

Honesty and compassion. Everything else pretty much stems from those two.

How they treat animals. How they treat their parents. How they react when angry

Empathy, honesty, engaging in acts of generosity of volunteerism without expecting personal benefit, not intentionally or willingly harming others.

I look for answers to the following:

how do they treat animals, wait staff & cashiers, & people who can do absolutely nothing for them, like small children?

How do they speak of the homeless, mentally ill or mentally challenged, those in dire economic straits not of their own doing?

How do they give back to the community/society? Or do they?

Do they read? What books are on their bookshelf/in their e reader or audio library? (If they say they aren't readers/have no books....run away.)

Are they able to have a political or religious discussion with someone on the opposite side of the debate without becoming angry, shouting or it devolving into a lot of name calling & physical threats.

Are they good to their word? Do they lie about things that don't matter?

How does the person in question treat those who serve him or her? Are they patient and friendly with the wait staff, the grocery store checker, etc? Are they patient with the small snafus of life? Can they untangle a mess of christmas tree lights without cursing? Do they like dogs, cats, and small children? How do they treat those who are differently abled? Those are some of the things I look for.

Conscious decision making with the possible effects of the same in mind.

If you treat others the way that you would like to be treated this usually makes a good person. I try to follow that as a rule and your skin color, language, etc. is not a factor for me. If you follow this it is easy to see racists and white supremacists for what they really are. That lets me know who to avoid. The strange thing is that most of them also think that they are a good person. It's mindboggling.

When they "do the right thing" regardless of whether anyone is looking or their act will ever be known, particularly if it is at their own expense.

Honesty - Reliability - Keeping Your Word

Kindness, compassion, honesty, integrity, thoughtfulness.

I listen to how they talk about others. Friends, co-workers, family. Especially their parents. That usually shows me the kind of person they are.

I think a good person practices acceptance over tolerance, gives without the expectation of receiving, is honest with themselves and others and above all..., doesn't eat shit and bother people.

Integrity, doing right even if nobody sees your good deeds. But you get walked on allot.

Trustworthy, dependable,honest ,selfless.

It’s something that is answered with time to get to know somebody, and also the way people define what is good. For me someone that is good is someone who does not expect anything in return after doing something good for someone.

Compassion, empathy, kindness, respect and love, to name a few.

Honesty is at the top. Assuming the best in people instead of the worst. Giving grace. Showing respect when due - but standing up defiantly when due as well. Critical thinking, not just going along with what is popular without giving it some thought.

If they are not vengeful
