The 5 Personalities

Do you think that everyone else thinks like you? If you think that others don’t think like you, then what makes you think that treating everyone the same is the right way to go?

Whether you’re dealing with sales, negotiations, partnership deals, or your personal life, it’s important to remember that everyone has a unique personality type, and to effectively connect with others we need to adapt to what theirs is.

There are several personality assessments you can take such as the Enneagram, Myers-Briggs, or the DISC assessments, those require someone to answer a lengthy questionnaire to give you a detailed report. This isn’t practical in the moment of an interaction with someone.

So what’s the solution?

T – Technical
A – Action
R – Relationships
