Thread: What type of personality are you.

  1. #1

    Default What type of personality are you.

    In the new board that I am on we got a list of four different types of personalities. All having different traits and all being able to encompass most or all people.

    The four types of personalities are

    1. Party Personality
    - Natural strength is friendliness
    - Enjoys interacting with others
    - Doesn't like to be alone
    - Wants to be liked
    - Is more people-oriented than task-oriented
    - Wants freedom to be creative and spontaneous
    - Likes to keep people happy
    - Prefers to be up front rather than in the crowd
    - Works best in groups

    2. Power Personality
    - Natural strength is getting the job done
    - Prefers to lead rather than follow
    - Wants to influence others
    - Likes having responsibility
    - Is persuasive
    - Likes seeing the overall picture
    - Able to make decisions with or without group
    - Enjoys teaching and being up front

    3. Peaceful Personality
    - Natural strength is to be a team player
    - Likes to observe and then offer suggestion
    - Does not want to stand up in front of a group and lead
    - Works well following a leader
    - Often can sense how others are doing or feeling
    - Prefers a steady and consistent pace
    - Able to work alone or in a group
    - Is dependable, warm, and easygoing

    4. Practical Personality
    - Natural stength is to be task-oriented
    - Works well alone
    - Sticks with a job until it's done
    - Prefers to know and understand the details before moving ahead
    - Sees problems as challenges
    - Likes to be given responsibility
    - Does not like to be put down, even if it's in fun
    - Hates being in front of a group


    The personality which most describes me is the Party Personality. I major attribute is being able to interact with people. I think that bringing a group of people together and making them happy is more important alot of times and will have much more influence on them than making sure a group gets done the task that they set out to do. I have a strong urge to make everyone feel welcome. Try to make everyone feel a part of the group. My freedom to do what I want is important to me. I at times begin feeling trapped if I do not have that freedom. And in the social realm I like being the one that everyone looks to.

    So which type of personality are you guys.

    I'm none of them. But I guess the least different is the peaceful personality. I don't work well in groups, but prefer following a leader. I constantly insult other people for no reason. I don't care if you make a joke about me, just make sure it's tasteful. I never stick with a task until it's done. I choose to not observe or make a suggestion. So, there's a new personality: the lazy-@ss cruel non-caring personality.

    I'm a "Practical Personality". I've always sorted my life into goals and ordered tasks. Everything is planned step by step. I don't work in groups, because relying on someone else is riskier than doing it myself. I know what I'm capable of, but I can't always say that about others. I'm the sort of person that in highschool group assignments, would do the whole thing myself, and have everyone sign their name to it. (It was easy enough to find lazy classmates who found such a plan amicable.) Yes, #4 is me.
    Knock yourselves down.

    Can we mix and match?

    sure, actually at the meeting very few of us turned out to be solely just one. Many of us were a combination of two of them.

    Actually it becomes interesting when you begin realizing how the different personality types deal with eachother.

    Probably the peaceful type of personality is most compatible with each group. The peaceful type of personality can get along with each group rather well.

    The biggest clash I would say happens between the party type of personality and the power type of personality. These two personality types are probably the best leaders. But they are each the best leaders for different reasons. And because of this they have a habit of getting in eachothers way.

    Party personalities tend to be the social bug type. The person who is always on the guest list. They tend to have a very defined presense in the social realm. But they also tend to be extremely laid back and as a result have a habit of not getting something done that is supposed to get done.

    Power personalities on the other hand are very task oriented unlike party personalities. When a job needs to get done they are a very good person to get it done. But they also lack some people skills in a way. They tend to have a habit of looking over a particular person or a particular group of people in order to get the job complete. They are good at getting the job complete. But they are not extremely great at bringing people together. And will likely create some rifts amongst people along the way.

    These two types clash because they both have strong leadership qualities. Party personalities in the social realm. And power personalities in the task oriented world or job world. Both of theirs best quality is what the other type of person believes isn't the most necessary aspect.

    These two types of people can work out their differences. But alot of times it will take some work. And will more than likely leave bad first impressions on eachother.
