The Four Different Personality Types\n\nSupposedly,I’m a natural people person.I've learned to become natural through understanding how toeffectively communicate with people.It's not that I’m a natural,it's that my parents taught me aboutpersonality types when I was young.  \nThey read books about personality and broke down the content to me.This post is that informationbroken down in an easily consumed format.If you would like to read more,I have listed books,withaffiliate links,in the reference section.  \nTo understand how to communicate with someone effectively,it's important to understand the conceptof personality types.After understanding the high-level personality types,you can triage people within30 seconds and understand how to communicate with them easier.Note,this is not NLP.That is adiscussion for another day.  \n## History\n\nFeel free to skip this if you don't care.  \nPeople types have been around a long time.Originally called the four temperaments by Hippocrates,they establish the four archetypes of people's personalities.It was expanded by Myers-Brigg personalitytest which is overly complicated.  \nAt any given time someone can be any of the four,but people typically feel most natural in one.Thearchetype that people fall into is easy to recognize once you understand the four and you can changeyour posture and language accordingly,once you identify what personality you are dealing with.  \n## The Personalities\n\nBefore proceeding,it is important to note that some of the language used to describe the personaltiesmay sound negative.The language that is used should not be looked at in a negative way.One of thepersonality types is not better than the other three.Each type is just different,and different approachesshould be taken to communicate to each of them.  \nThe way I will present the personality types is with the Merrill-Wilson breakdown.There is alsoMeyers-Briggs(more complex)and the classic Four Temperaments.The Merrill-Wilson has the bestROI.Simple to understand and identify fast.  \nThe four personality types are:Driver,Expressive,Amiable,and Analytical.There are two variables toidentify any personality:Are they better at facts &data or relationships?And are they introverted orextroverted.  \n● Driver—Fact-Based Extrovert  \n● Analytical—Fact-Based Introvert  \n● Expressive—Relationship Extrovert  \n● Amiable—Relationship Introvert  \nNote:Most people will have major and minor type.Identify the major type and talk to that type.  \n## Television Examples\n\nDriver  \nDrivers are very strong personalities.Typically they have a go-get-it-done or whatever-it-takespersonality.They can seem very dominant and are quick to take action.The negative is they cansometimes come across as stubborn or arrogant.Sometimes the personality type can come across asbrash,running over others in order to get things accomplished.  \nExamples:  \nI really wish I could have put Otto Mann here.Seewhat I did there?  \nMost sitcoms and dramas have each of these personality types represented.With each breakdown of thepersonalities I will give you an example,that should help give you a full understanding of the charactertype.  \n\"I'm so handsome and direct.  \n## Analytical\n\nMost people reading this blog post from HackerNews will fit with this personality type.Analytical typesare constantly assessing,determining pros and cons,making lists of to do items.Analytical types areconstantly asking questions,almost to the point of getting too much information.Others see them astalented with brilliant ideas.However,they can suffer from analysis paralysis,over analyzing situationstoo much.If you have ever made a list of\"doing things the right way\"you are an Analytical.Examples  \nMT 6aeES₆  \nThe always thinking,always contriving:Mr.Burns.  \nI have never understood the female capacity toavoid a direct answer to any question.Star Trek:The Original Series,“This Side of Paradise”  \n## Expressive\n\n\"Natural\"people persons.They enjoy socializing and talking.They are great story ","cbCaitB9M89WcEDs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitB9M89WcEDs","pdf",2639546,"English","# History\n#
