Knowledge of human nature

Knowledge of human nature is the ability to correctly assess the behavior or character of people because of a first impression, to identify and assess, and predict how they think and how they will act.

Decisive factors for this ability are life experience, intuition, intelligence and wisdom. Human knowledge is not innate, but to acquire them by the frequent contact with people and by experience with many different people.

Human knowledge can be used to judge people correctly, to motivate them to give other people a good advice to take deeper relationships, etc. but can also be exploited to their own advantage, for example, if you convince people they deceive or wants to sell them something.

For the theoretical appropriation of knowledge of human nature, there are numerous models, such as the Myers -Briggs Type Indicator or the Enneagram.
