That's really the only thing you need to figure out, without telling her. Does she willingly seek to please you and obey you? Or does she care nothing or very little about what you want? Because if she obeys, you know she respects you. If she disobeys, then you know you are going to struggle with her.
Will she give her heart to you? Or does she want to step on you?
Is she submissive or domineering? She is compliant or stubborn? Does she sass you or does she bite her lip rather than risk offending you? Does she raise her voice to you? Does she use disrespectful speech towards you? Does she refuse anything which you ask her to do which would not cause her a terrible hardship? Does she ignore you? Is she willing to do most of the work to connect with you or practically none?
Does she place high value upon you to the point where she respects you and goes out of her way not to offend you? Does she care less about you? Does she actively do things to spite you? Does she openly disobey?
NEWSFLASH!
Submissive women are RARE! Ignorant people have been critical of my trips to refugee camps but I am the one with a smile on my face

PROVERBS 33:10-11
10 A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds. 11 Her husband trusts her without reserve, and never has reason to regret it.
1. Unlike some people, I am not here to condemn you for your choice to go with whatsoever woman or type of woman you want. I do not preach against going to refugee camps.
2. I was merely suggesting that men search for those rare diamonds. Then such a man can fully trust in his wife, literate or illiterate.
In her mouth is the law of kindness, meaning she's not the typical woman. She's not backstabbing people who've done nothing to her just to exalt herself above them, she's not slandering people, her mouth is not full of cursing, bitterness, deceit, etc.
The worth of this woman is FAR ABOVE (far more than) RUBIES, and that's the kind I want personally. She's better than diamonds.
Also, the proverb you allude to is proverbs 31, not 33 (no such thing as chapter 33 in that book), and that is the wrong Bible version. KJV only.
