YOUR PROFILE

Profile of the 'Mover' Style

It is easy to recognise people with reasonably strong Mover – they are almost always smiling. They are cheerful, outgoing, warm and enthusiastic. Because they are dominated by the desire to communicate they project optimism and relish social activity. This is the person to ask if you want to get the Christmas party moving! After a workday full of meetings and ‘chat’, the Mover then loves to take part in some active social entertainment in the evening such as a party or going clubbing………

Profile of the 'Double Checker' Style

The worried, indecisive administrator best personifies the Double-checker. His or her primary drive is the desire for security. All through the day Double-checkers imagine events that can go wrong and at night they dream of disasters in their life. They are easy to recognise when you first meet them because of their strong sense of concern. Look for the very full and cluttered desk and full handbag or briefcase, which may be signs that you are talking to a Double-checker. They regard being on the ground as the safest place on earth and are often “Earth Mother” types……

Profile of the 'Artist' Style

The Artist is dominated by the desire to create. Genesis was a solitary affair and since that time creation has usually been a lonely activity. Artists often appear as quiet, shy, and withdrawn. They are easy to recognise because they avoid eye contact, men may have beards and they may be initially tongue-tied. As they talk, Artists tend to put their hands over their mouths or faces……

Profile of the 'Politician' Style

In the same way that the Mover is the antithesis of the Double-checker, the Politician is the opposite of the Artist. Verbal rather than visual, Politicians have fixed opinions, which they tend to force on others. Unfortunately they can be so competitive even in social discourse that they sometimes appear boastful and conceited. As these are not popular traits Politicians who lack a strong Normal component (see below) can often offend their colleagues. However, if the Politician has good self-control, the desire to win often results in strong leadership………

Profile of the 'Engineer' Style

The Engineer’s main desire in life is to complete inspired projects. If the Engineer cannot do something inspired, then completing a project is the next best reward. The office of an Engineer is easy to recognise by the filled bookcase and the project control chart on the wall – if it’s not on the wall it’ll be in the computer! The desk is not always neat but the Engineer knows where everything is. They can become upset if they find their office or working space change or altered………

Profile of the 'Hustler' Style

The Hustler is often easy to recognise – look for the smart designer suit and gold or platinum accessories. Image is important to Hustlers and because they like to display signs of material success their clothes often carry designer labels or insignia. Another clue is the friendly, genial smile. Another clue is their smile – particularly if you could be of benefit to them. Of all the styles, Hustlers can seem to be the most charming and entertaining company………

Profile of the 'Normal' Style

The change of personality as one becomes more mature and integrated into society is the development of the Normal component. The Normal acts as a stabiliser on the other six components discussed so far. Those with a strong Normal component are often calm and self composed and appear to have a ‘flat’ personality. Normals love to be part of a group and will use references to other people or precedents as support for an argument. They also much prefer the use of logic to emotion and will use the word ‘logical’ in their conversation………
