Can't I use "character" instead of "personality" in the following sentences:
1) He was an ambitious man with a strong personality.
2) Despite their different personalities, they became the best of friends.
3) He's honest but he lacks personality.
4) He has a cheerful personality.

In the 3rd example, I'd go with "individuality" rather than "personality" because that avoids all the confusion~~
