I found a great article - 8 Ways To Tell If You're A Truly Compassionate Person - and decided to make a brief summary.
These characteristics are generally associated with a compassionate person...
1. Emphasizing one's similarities to other people, rather than one's differences.
2. Giving a low priority to money.
3. Taking action by volunteering and offering specific help to individuals.
4. Being kind to yourself. Being compassionate begins with self-compassion.
5. Teaching others. Teaching another is the most powerful way to reenforce any idea in oneself.
6. Being in the moment. Compassion requires giving one's full attention to another - without multitasking, or thinking about one's next appointment.
7. Understanding that each person holds their own valid point-of-view.
8. Being grateful for other people.
