Jean is a very honest and outspoken person. He doesn't have a problem with telling his opinion, however blunt they may be. Sometimes he tells his opinion at the risk of getting into trouble or making things around him even more complicated. That just means he thinks his opinions are important enough to be voiced, even if they would be different from the general ones. The opinions are sometimes even important enough to cause a plain old fist fight. Jean shows his temperament whenever he's arguing with someone near his own status and is not above using violence to sort things out.

He has a very pragmatic way of thinking. Instead of thinking what works in theory, he also needs to be sure it works for real to attempt it. Not getting himself into situations that are dangerous is how he wants to manage. Unfortunately the world isn't as simple and he has to make some compromises, but whenever he can make a choice of protecting himself, he'd rather do that. Of course he values his friends and will throw away this way of thinking if they need him. This was of thinking was what made him want to join the Military Police - the safest faction on their world - but after experiencing a real battle and seeing his best friend, Marco, die, he made a choice to join the Survey Corps and put himself into danger.

Sometimes he acts more selfish than he actually is on purpose. It's no secret that he tends to think about himself over others, but he does care about his friends a lot, he just doesn't show it very well. He puts effort into helping them out, but sometimes makes it seem like it wasn't for them or because of them and end up arguing with said friends for that reason. We see Jean's selfless, decisive side when he puts himself in danger to prevent a titan from attacking other soldiers and endangering the mission, a choice which he shows little hesitation in making. Having to leave a fellow soldier behind is agonizing for him, and he can hardly stand to do it; there was nothing he could do to change the situation, but he regrets that it happened anyway.

Jean is also very skeptical by nature. He tends to suspect everything at the beginning and actually trusting something, or someone, takes some time. Especially the thought of humanity actually winning against titans feels like a it would be impossible, but after a few clear victories he's started to see a small glimpse of hope.

After living in Verens for over a year, he's learned to control his fiery temperament a little better, thanks to the constant existence of emotion magic. He's also been able to find ways to enjoy his life and actually live like a normal teenager (well, with the exception of anything that isn't normal in Verens). His feelings for his crush, Mikasa, only grew as they lived together and eventually the two of them started dating. He has been loved in return.
