Based on the passage, the most accurate inference about the Queen is that she is impulsive and has a short temper. Her constant quarreling and frequent shouts of "Off with his head!" suggest that she reacts swiftly and harshly without much consideration for the consequences, indicating her impulsive nature and volatile temperament.

All the time they were playing the Queen never left off quarreling with the other players, and shouting “Off with his head!” or “Off with her head!” Those whom she sentenced were taken into custody by the soldiers, who of course had to leave off being arches to do this, so that by the end of half an hour or so there were no arches left, and all the players, except the King, the Queen, and Alice, were in custody and under sentence of execution.

As they walked off together, Alice heard the King say in a low voice, to the company generally, “You are all pardoned.” “Come, that’s a good thing!” she said to herself, for she had felt quite unhappy at the number of executions the Queen had ordered.
