It would help if you provided more context here. You are not in the same situation as Warren Buffet or Ray Dalio, so you should pause before trying to apply their advice to your own life. Are you a student? An employee? An entrepreneur?
Of the attributes they listed, I imagine it is easier to narrow people down by skills first, then intelligence and then character won't necessarily be something you can judge easily and accurately. In any case you will probably have to work with them for at least a little while until you could confidently consider them "good" though.
- Regardsyjc 8y agoThanks so much. I run a small Amazon business so I have to make the following business decisions and I don't think I've been learning from my mistakes: - Manufacturers/Clients: How do I choose the right people to work with? Sometimes manufacturers do not create great products, sometimes clients lie. What are some signs to avoid bad business relationships? - Hiring: How do you hire people with "good" character? I learned the hard way of abilities/skills with my first few hires. - Co-founder: I need a technical co-founder for a software I'd like to build, someone who has previous experience building a great team (my weakness). Because I'm terrible at team-building, I have no idea what to look for. - Investors/Advisors: People have expressed interest in investing in a software I am building. I know I need help and guidance- but I don't think investing in me would be the right decision for them because I have 0 unicorn aspirations. So far my strategy has been to be brutally honest but I have found that it doesn't work all the time.
