People might not consider individuals who exhibit traits such as dishonesty, selfishness, or cruelty as virtuous. Additionally, those who manipulate or exploit others for personal gain, show a lack of empathy, or consistently act against the welfare of others are often viewed as lacking virtue. Furthermore, individuals who fail to uphold their commitments or who engage in harmful behavior towards society may also be regarded as non-virtuous. Ultimately, virtue is often associated with qualities that promote the common good and foster positive relationships.

How do you determine what counts as virtuous behavior?
The proper definition of Virtuous behavior is to have or show virtue, especially moral excellence: lead a virtuous life. A place to start with developing this behavior is to practice the golden rule. Jesus' admonition to, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." In my opinion, to practice this principle is the foundation of having a virtuous behavior. To determine what would count as virtuous behavior, you would want to know the character of the person. Essentially virtuous behaviors are the actions, which are wholesome; which produce well-being for the person performing them and for those who are affected. I believe this would be the same for most all people.

How is bad temper the vice of the virtuous?
I would go back to what I read way back in my childhood, when talking of temper, we were told that it is 0recious and don't close it. Evidently it's something virtuous but seen as a vice.

They are people who despise treachery and injustice and show up through their temper. It's a welcome virtue.
