Nature ( the way you are) and Demeanor ( they way you act) are  chosen using the folllowing personality archetypes:

PERSONALITY ARCHETYPES

ARCHITECT.- you are unhappy unless you are creating something of lasting value.
BON VIVANT.- life is meaningless, so enjoy it at long as it lasts.
BRAVO.- you are somerthing of a bully, you like to  be feared
CAREGIVER.- many need your love and protection,and you need them to need you.
CHILD.- you never really grew up, and wantsomeone to take  care of you
CONFORMIST.-a follower at heart, you find it easy to adapt, adjust and comply
CONNIVER.-there’s always  an  easier way-which usually involves someone else’s doing your work
CURMUDGEON.-you are a real  sourpuss and a cynic of the Nth degree.
DEVIANT.-you’re not like everyone else
DIRECTOR.- you hate  chaos and  are forever taking charge of set things right.
FANATIC.- you have  a  cause  and it gives your life meaning
GALLANT.- you  are as flamboyant as you are amoral
JUDGE.- you  seek justice and reconciliation
LONER.- you are forever alone, even in a crowd.
MARTYR.- you need to  be needed and enjoy being morally superior
REBEL.- no need for  a cause, you rebel out of habit and passion.
SURVIVOR No matter what, you always manage to survive. You can endure, pull through, recover from, outlast or outlive nearly any circumstance. When the going gets tough, you get going. You never say die, and never give up— never. Nothing angers you as much as a person who doesn’t struggle to make things better, or who surrenders to the nameless forces of the universe. You utterly despise quitters.
TRADITIONALIST.- you  preferthe orthodox and conservative ways
VISIONARY.- Wisdom is your quest, insight is your key
AUTIST: You must hide your secrets from others. Even more importantly, you hide your true self. Anyone who understands you can hurt you, so no one must ever see the real you. No one can come close. Give away as little of yourself as possible— adopt a false personality if you like— but just make sure no one gets hold of the truth about you.
COMPETITOR You are driven by the need to win at all costs. The thrill of victory is the only thrill that you recognize; it is the thing that drives you on. You see life as a contest and society as a dichotomy of winners and losers.
CONFIDANT You understand others, and more importantly, you like them. You are a facilitator who listens and advises. People confess to you, and, in return, you give them advice, most of it good
HEDONIST There is no point to life, no meaning or direction, so the best plan is to have as good a time as possible. Rome may burn, but you will drink wine and sing songs.
JESTER You are the fool, idiot, quipster, clown or comic, forever making fun of both yourself and others. You constantly seek the humor in any situation, and always strive to battle the tides of depression inside yourself. You hate sorrow and pain and constantly try to take others’ minds off the dark side of life. Sometimes you’ll do nearly anything to forget that pain exists.
SHOW-OFF  You get your self-worth entirely from others. You crave approval and praise and will go to extreme lengths to get it, even risking yourself and the things you love, if necessary.
PREDATOR The urge of the wild is strong within you. Kill or be killed, survival of the fittest—  these age-old instincts are imprinted in the deepest recesses of your brain.
