This weeks series on Team Dynamics and Personality looks at personality types.

Personality

Personality is defined as a collection of emotion, thought and behavior patterns unique to a person.

Personality tests have been around for years.  There are many types and variations, Briggs-Meyer, Enneagram, Keirsey-Bates, Hippocrates, Spangler, Jung, etc.

Most separate personality into four categories.  In this series, I will be discussing the Keirsey Temperament types: Artisan, Guardian, Rational, and Idealist.

Statistically the workplace is made up of the following mix:

Personality Type (% of the population)

  • Artisan: 35-40%
  • Guardian: 40-45%
  • Rationalist: 5-7%
  • Idealist: 8-10%

Of course this is based on population statistics and your workplace may be different, depending on the type of employee targeted.  In an accounting firm; the number of Guardians would be higher, in a graphic design company; the number of Artisian's would be higher, etc.

Do you know what personality types are working for you?  Do you know how to get the best from them? 

This ongoing series will look at each personality type from the workplace perspective.
