I'd recommend reading up on emotional intelligence. Being high in EI is what I associate with maturity, especially being high in assertiveness. Goleman lays out the basic traits that make up EI. From Wikipedia: > **Self-awareness** – the ability to know one's emotions, strengths, weaknesses, drives, values and goals and recognize their impact on others while using gut feelings to guide decisions. > > **Self-regulation** – involves controlling or redirecting one's disruptive emotions and impulses and adapting to changing circumstances. > > **Social skill** – managing relationships to move people in the desired direction > > **Empathy** – considering other people's feelings especially when making decisions > > **Motivation** – being driven to achieve for the sake of achievement
