What exactly is your Personality Style

By Scott Shimberg


Is your profession bringing out the best in you?

Have you ever felt like you are in the wrong business? Do you find yourself coming up with one big idea after another but don't have an outlet to see your ideas through?

Kate Ward, author of "Personality Style at Work," says people usually fall under the following 4 personality types: direct, spirited, considerate and systematic. If you are able to realize your type, you may "have less opportunity for misunderstandings and conflicts," she states as well as you will have insight into your perfect career.

Take a look and see whether your job aligns with your strengths:

DIRECT: The direct personality gets quickly to the point and is not into chitchat. The person who might come to mind is Donald Trump stating, "you're fired." Here are some careers best suited for the Direct Personality: CEO, executive, lawyer or University Professor.

SPIRITED: Spirited personalities are big-idea people who love to brainstorm and motivate, however tend to miss certain information along the way. Best careers have been in the arts or architecture, interior design, advertising or politics.

CONSIDERATE: Considerate types are serious peacemakers. They care significantly about team harmony and want to help others. Good matches are counselor, elementary school teacher and positions in the service industry.

SYSTEMATIC: These folks are well organized, logical and are articulate list-makers. Systematic people excel in analysis and structure. Some of the best careers for this personality type are accountants, information technology specialists, dentists or engineers.

In our opinion, we think the best thing for an entrepreneur to achieve success, is to possess a little of each of these traits. But it is good to recognize these basics, because it will not simply help you to identify who you are, but also will assist you to understand how others operate. A Direct personality should try to soften their approach when dealing with a Considerate. A Systematic person needs to realize that the Spirited person will probably need to be given the lists, rather than assuming they are going to create lists on their own.

Hope you enjoyed this post; feel free to share with others.

Until next time
