As for myself, I'm usually the Amiable type, with bouts of Choleric. For the decision making part, I can make a decision quickly if I feel comfortable with all the information, but will be slow if I don't or if I don't like any of the options.
Does ever thing the hard way.
Asia - Usually choleric & amiable are drastic opposites, as are expressive & analytical. Your funny reply seems quite choleric as your decision making process has an element of quick. An amiable would not make a decision in fear of possibly making the wrong one so they just procrastinate and try to forget they have a decision to make. I should have said "non-confrontational" for amiable...just remembered that. BUT, I have heard we all have a little bit of everything so you're good to go!
Harry M. - Ah yes, "usually right" should have read "usually THINKS their right" :)
King Fish - The stubborn can be either a Driver tendency or an Amiable tendency. One is louder about it than the other ;)
Sarah - Your good!...drivers also have a hard time sitting still because they are generally in a hurry and they work on having patience(my life story).
Just a Side Note: A significant other usually has one personality style that is the same as yours, and one that is opposite.
Example:
Driver/Expressive chooses an Amiable/Expressive.
- Goal Oriented / Get's the job done
- Speaks to the point...sometimes comes across as rude.
- Likes to have all ducks in a row...neatly happy!
- Slow to make decisions until having all the facts.
- Dry sense of humor
- Layed back, gets along with everyone.
- Makes friends easily & can naturally work a room
Im nothing and everything at the same time!
Good one Tammy. I feel absolutely defined right now.
I think you forgot:
Whiney (like a crab)
- Complains often
- Easily annoyed
- Often obnoxious
- Forces people to do the work just to get him to shut up
- Can't make a decision because he sees all the choices as screwed up
Ar now that is me!
