Personality adjectives are those adjectives that provide data about the personality of the subject they describe. They are used in subjective or objective descriptions that seek to convey the qualities, emotions, morals or behavior of a person. For example: demanding, thoughtful, introverted.
Personality adjectives do not indicate a physical quality of the person. For example, if we say that Susana is skinny , the adjective skinny indicates a physical quality, and not her personality.
