As a Sociology educator, this social science data on Personality Types was my absolute fave! And I share the four (1) basic peronality types, BUT add two more for that good measure. How do you generally fit into the patterns?
A) "Type A"---Take risks...entrepreneurial...quite intependent...to the point...not a routine person...like change...focused...often insensitive to those around them...often found as business owners or in sales...like to take charge...persistent in accomplishing a goal!
B) "Type B"---likes to party and travel...center of attention...excitement...more inclined to be impatient and demanding...high energy...public speaking and marketing...limelighter...actors...TV and radio personalities...need to be liked..."soft skin"...talkative...outgoing...persausive...take things more personal.
C) "Type C"---thrives on details...engineer...acountant...computer programmer...analyst...very neat...dress with fasion...precise...home IN order!...no hype..."gimme me the facts!"...consistent...follow rules...deep thinkers...highly sensitive...loyal...patient...good rapport...want to show others that they really care.
D) "Type D"--- doesn't like change...need guidelines...motivated from being secure...appreciate "rewards" earned...supportive of others...more compassionate...punctual...consistent...like helping the underdog...bring a feeling of balance to the family or workplace.
E) "Type T"---this one is quietly growing in importance in our American society. "T" stands for THRILL. Likes rollercoasters...bungee jumping...skiing...taking risks, some calculated and some not...trying a new food dish without prior sampling, like the ultimate spicy-hot dish...asking a person for a date or flirting without reserve...diving or jumping off a high diving board or cliff. And add kayaking over a WATERFALL! Recorded record was in Brazil over a 127' waterfall. One tiny miscalculation and......
F) "Type S"---This sociologist created this one because most of us, personalities, simply do not fit nicely within just one! Therefore, peruse back over all of these and see if you don't pick up parts of each type. "Type S", then, is a collection of parts of each type to form your own personality, not just totally one. Agree?
