The next combination I will discuss is the Director/Relator. This individual is an industrious go0getter who focuses on goals and proceeds full speed ahead. He or she places a great deal of emphasis on completing the task from start to finish (usually by him or herself). The director/relator dislikes being told what to do,is reluctant to change, only delegates tasks when necessary and becomes tenacious and focused when under pressure.

BY now you should be getting an idea of your own personality type. The important thing to know is how you should be working with the other types and know why you like to be dealt with in a certain way. Today we will look at the socializing director.
The socializing director has a desire for control and independence. This person will always be wary of people who may take advantage him or her. This person is tenacious, will stand up for himself or herself and likes to get things done quickly. He or she will downplay mistakes and weaknesses while focusing on strengths and success.

In looking at the 4 personality types it is easy to see that an individual can be a combination of two types. Let's take a look at the Director/Director. This person's theme song could be "I Did It My Way." Some traits of the director/director are:
1. wanting to have the final say
2. disliking inaction, predictability and lack of change
3. thinking your way is the only way
4. taking on new challenges
5. wanting to pursue your own path
6. taking charge of situations
7. deciding things for yourself whether people agree or disagree

Over the last few blog entries I discussed the four personality types as outlined in "The Platinum Rule." I would like to give you an example of the "rule" in practice. I was working with a candidate that had received an offer from my client. As usual I expected an immediate acceptance but instead I received a list of questions. I contacted the client and got the answers which I relayed back to the candidate and expected an acceptance. I got another list of questions and realized that I was dealing with a thinker and immediately my patience level increased. After two more rounds of questions and answers the candidate accepted.
Knowing that thinkers are analytical it was important for me to insure that all of his questions were answered and he was comfortable with his decision.
In my next few entries I will discuss how to work with the various personality types.

Again I would like to remind you that the items I am currently discussing are from "The Platinum Rule" written by Dr. Tony Alessandra.
The last personality style the I will discuss is "The Thinker." It is important to note that none of these styles are any better or worse than the other. The whole point is to be able to recognize the individual's style and then relate to him or her in the way in which he or she would like to be related to.
Thinkers are serious analytical people with long range goals and they cherish efficiency on logic. Accuracy is their watchword. Thinkers are contemplative, cautious and thorough. The thing that excites a thinker is reason. Everything in its place and details are important. The greatest asset of a thinker is high quality work while their greatest failing is being too critical. The greatest fear of a thinker is irrationality. They must be mistake free and they dislike unorganized people.

The third personality style that I will discuss is the Relater. Relaters are friendly and personable and they operate at a slow, steady pace and seldom show emotional peaks or valleys.
Relaters strive for tranquility and stability and they avoid making big decisions. Relaters are steady and they care deeply about feelings. The greatest failing of the relater is timidity and they detest conflict. The greatest fear of the relater is change. When change is proven to be needed the relater will want to see a plan. However, once committed the relater will persist no matter what.

The next personality type I will discuss is the Socializer. Socializers are chatty and fun loving. They love people and thrive on being where the action is. They are generally long on ideas, short on follow through and they lead by dealing with others in an upbeat way. Socializers seek admiration and acceptance. They love to talk and to be talked about. If you don't talk about them they will spend a great deal of time talking about their favorite subject; themselves.
The greatest asset of socializers is that they are fun to be around and they will brainstorm with anyone they meet. They are highly intuitive. The greatest failing of soicalizers is that they are erratic and have the attention span of a flashbulb. Of course the greatest fear of socializers is not being liked.
