Once again I cannot understand the difference between these, sorry to bother you.

物静かな性格
or
静かな性格

I can only venture a guess that 物静か is a noun and 静か isn't a noun. I still can't see the difference between the meaning of the na-adjective form. Since 物静か has the kanji 物 on the front, I can only guess that it is as silent as an object.. but that is a far-fetched assumption.
