Choleric (The Dominant type)
Driven to get results, the choleric is aggressive and assertive in their approach to problems - people like Ross Perot, Margaret Thatcher, or Colin Powell, who are strategic in their thinking, have the end in mind when approaching a problem or negotiation. If you have ever met a Choleric who has learned to be patient with people while impatient for results, you have met a winner.Sanguine (The Influencer type)
talkative, memory for color, good on stage, wide-eyed and innocent, enthuasiastic and expressive, curious, volunteers for jobs, always a child, creative and colorful, inspires and charms others, makes friends easily, seems exciting. Driven by the need to influence people, these expressive social-types are enthusiastic, approachable and at times impulsive. The sanguine is persuasive, friendly and effervescent. As most salespeople fall within this category, is it any wonder salespeople typically detest paperwork? Once in control of the details, watch out!Phlegmatic (The Steady type)
Driven by the need to accommodate and get along, the phlegmatic enjoys harmony. If they have achieved the opportunity to accommodate and serve, they are happy people. Their strength is stability, and their weakness can be inflexibility and a resistance to change, and they can have a hard time saying "no". Show me a phlegmatic that has gone through assertiveness training and has incorporated this into their daily lives, and you will find a winner.Melancholy (The Conscientious type)
Driven by the need to maintain standards, the melancholy often is cautious and tentative when responding to a problem. Many accountants fall into this category. They view things in regard to what is right or wrong. Strengths include organization and accuracy.
deep, thoughtful, analytical, serious and purposeful, genius-intellect, talented and creative, likes lists/charts/graphs/figures, detail conscious, orderly and organized , neat and tidy, perfectionist-high standards, economical, deep concern and compassion, seeks ideal mateOr do you think this is inaccurate.....
