Character

From Lee Kuan Yew, ex-Singapore Prime Minister

Ability can be assessed fairly accurately by a person's academic record and achievements at work. Character is not so easily measured. After some successes but too many failures, I concluded that it was more important, though more difficult, to assess a person's character.

Character is often difficult to read from a resume, a CV, or in an interview. Does this person showboat? take credit for others' work? help with others' work? LKY's words are prescient for all time.
