MY results were: (Promoter/socializer) and (supporter/relater)
This means that I value acceptance, stability, enjoyment, and helping others. That I go slow when making a big decision, a good listener, easy-going( kinda slow), and friendly. I am also full of ideas, wants work to be fun for people, flexible, and that I am an optimist.
I think these go will with my personality for the most part.
Communication styles exercise:
Identify the communication style of each person described below. Simply use a
letter S (Supporter/Relator); C (Controller/Director); P (Promoter/Socializer);
A (Analyzer/Thinker).
1. __C___George can quickly tell what’s going on in any situation and is not afraid to speak out
about what should be done. He doesn’t follow the latest fad, but wears clothes that are
practical. When you first meet George, you notice he is friendly. Later you realize he
hasn’t told you much about his personal life. You go out to lunch with George. He orders
steak medium rare, but the meat is served nearly raw. George shouts for the waiter, and
complains loudly. The waiter apologizes and takes the steak back to be cooked longer, but
George doesn’t want to wait. He demands to see the manager and tells her in the future
he’ll eat elsewhere. You both grab a lunch at a drive-through and are back at the office in
time for George’s next meeting.
2. ___S__Dave is really a nice guy. He’s open and always willing to listen. On his desk are lots
of photos with family and friends, many of them taken at Disneyland, the “happiest place on
earth.” Dave usually dresses in soft, warm colors, and hates to wear a coat and tie. You go
out to lunch with Dave and he orders steak, well done. When he cuts into it, however, it’s
overdone and tough. He doesn’t say a thing to you, and continues to eat. The waiter comes
by and asks, “How is your steak?” Dave hesitantly replies he’s sorry to say he likes his steak
a little more tender. “Would you like me to take it back?” Dave answers, “Only if it’s not
too much trouble.”
3. __A___Jean is a rather complicated person. She cares a lot about what others think of her,
but she is sometimes callous about the feelings of others. So she’s both sensitive and
insensitive. It can be confusing! There is no confusion about one thing-Jean is an excellent
planner. She gathers all the data and can foresee potential problems. She researches ways
to avoid them, at little cost to the company. At her desk, Jean displays her college diploma,
framed, and a list of company policies. You go out to lunch with Jean, who orders steak
medium well. It’s a shade too pink for her, so she requests the waiter to have the chef cook
it for exactly 2 and a half minutes more.
4. ___P__Caroline is a popular person with a big ego. She gets into many circumstances where
she is the one to confront problems, because she knows how she thinks and feels about may
issues. Caroline speaks her mind, but doesn’t like to alienate others in the process. So she
tries to make them feel good, about themselves and her. Caroline has a large closet full of
clothes with lots of color, texture and bold designs. At her desk is a blown-up photo of her
and the company president having fun at last year’s Christmas party. You go out to lunch
with Caroline and the steak is not cooked to her liking at all. She calls the waiter over
immediately and asks for another plate. She quickly decided to try something else. “Bring
me the sword fish special instead!”
