With which types of taqwa do we interpret the Prophet's (peace be upon him) answer regarding the thing that most frequently enters people into Paradise?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : With which of the two types of taqwa do we interpret the Prophet's (peace be upon him) answer to that man who asked about the thing that most frequently enters its companion into Paradise? He said:
Taqwa of Allah, and good character. تقوى الله وحسن الخلق
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2004Sahih (Darussalam)
? It appears that the taqwa intended here is of the first type, because if we interpreted it as the second type, it would include every good, even if it were merely recommended, and good character would naturally fall under that. So when he said:
Taqwa of Allah, and good character. تقوى الله وحسن الخلق
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2004Sahih (Darussalam)
, he meant taqwa of Allah in its most specific and narrow sense, namely: doing what Allah has made obligatory and avoiding what Allah has forbidden. This is what most frequently enters people into Paradise, in addition to good character.
