There is not a sure way to tell if someone is the Messiah. Many, many potential Messiahs are born in a generation, so it is possible that there will be more than one, although it is not likely. They will generally be very wise and thoughtful and give good advice; but that does not mean that they cannot have many other qualities like good humor. A Messiah will be a good person, though not necessarily kind, but it would be likely, considering Messiahs are people of good nature and their goal is to improve the well being of human kind.

Should messiah be capitalized?
Yes *No. The original idea of "messiah" was "anointed one." Early Jewish peoples were not necessarily expecting one messiah.

If you are using the word to talk about early Judaism, it probably should not be capitalized.
