What is Your Personality Style?

By Scott Shimberg


Is your career bringing out the best in you?

Have you ever felt like you are in the wrong business? Do you find yourself identifying one big concept after another but don't have an outlet to notice your ideas through?

Kate Ward, author of "Personality Style at Work," says people generally fall into the following 4 personality types: direct, spirited, considerate and systematic. If you can recognize your type, you will "have less chance for misunderstandings and conflicts," she says and also you will have insight into your ideal career.

Take a look and see if your career aligns with your strengths:

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

SPIRITED: Spirited personalities are big-idea people that like to brainstorm and motivate, but tend to miss some information along the way. Best careers are 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.

Personally, 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, as it will not simply help you to identify who you are, but also will help you to understand how others operate. A Direct personality might want 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, instead of assuming they will create lists on their own.

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

Until next time
