A personality type is essentially a "coat" or "mask" that we have put on our "persona" to project outward to the world. This is a "mask" because it is a learned set of behaviors that each of us has adapted to and have essentially become.
Although we are a combination of behaviors, each one of us has a dominant "mask" that we project to the world. If we want to, we have the ability to change this "mask" and to move into a different "personality type".
There are 4 main types of personality:
- Controller- rigid, rules based, task oriented.
- Supporter- fun, people pleaser, relationship oriented.
- Analyst- goal, direct, task oriented.
- Promoter- easy going, fun loving, relationship oriented.
These are just "types" and all of us are blends of all types. Knowing your own type is helpful in identifying your needs and wants. Knowing other peoples personality type helps us to better relate to other people's needs and wants. The benefit of knowing personality types is that it will enhance and improve relationships that we have with others and ourselves.
