Abstract	Despite acknowledgment that character operates as a multi-faceted system of multiple attributes, few efforts have examined this system by investigating how character attributes may combine in profiles and how profiles are related to individual internal strengths and contextual assets. Using data from 552 adolescents from the Northeastern United States (M[subscript age] = 14.11 years, 60% girls, 56% identified as White), we identified five latent profiles including the character attributes honesty, humility, persistence, future orientation, and purpose (beyond-the-self life goals). Three profiles were characterized by Low, Middle, and High levels of all attributes, respectively, the fourth profile by low levels of future orientation and persistence (termed Present-oriented), and the fifth profile (termed Aspirational) by low levels of honesty and humility with high levels of future orientation, purpose (beyond-the-self life goals), and persistence. The internal strength of intentional self-regulation differentiated between profile membership, whereas prosocial socialization from a known character role model did not. Limitations and future directions are discussed. (As Provided).
