What are the differences between nature,character,personality and disposition ?Nature has the similar meaning with kind/sort,is it correct and any difference ? Things of that nature do not interest me at all=Things of that kind/sort do not interest me at all ?

Fandorin · Accepted Answer

It dedends on the context immensely. If put it succinctly, then it will be it.
Nature is an innate feature of something, its basic quality. Character is something an item (might be animate being) can be described with. It adds some peculiarity to an item. Personality is a unique set of characteristics so a person can be distinguished uising them. Dispositionis a someone's way of behaviour. Take your time. And a dictionary.

Yes, they are quite the same. The semblance depends on the context. You should consider that.

Alexander OJR · Answer

I can approximately understand what the meaning of 'nature' is,It makes sense to me that it represents the characteristics of human beings which are innate,everyone has these one,no matter who you are.

For instance,man will feel afraid as facing difficulties or man is greedy,never understands what satisfaction is or man is always attracted by beautiful girls,and vice versa .(Here I mean is normally. Absolutely,there are some exceptions )

Am I right of explaining the meaning of nature ?

Character and personality go along together. For me, character is an innate feature of a person which is ingrained. It is quite hard to change a character. Personality is more of an image, a projection we perceive.

Personality is a person as an embodiment of a collection of qualities. [dictionary.com]
Character is an account of the qualities or peculiarities of a person or thing.

Quite often, though, they can be used interchangeably.
