The Visionary
These people are innovators that are bursting with creativity and have a passion for adventure. They always seek the bigger picture, leaving the details and hard graft for others to sort out.
The Visionary has a high level of drive and determination, which is put into discovering new ideas and possibilities or finding a new solution to an age-old problem.
In popular culture, the Visionary is best embodied in the people that are famed for their ground-breaking ideas. Good examples include Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple and pioneer of the smartphone, or James Dyson, who continuously creates products that set aside traditional design principles in favour of unique and innovative ones.
The Negotiator
In a working environment, the Negotiator has a reputation for being reliable, down-to-earth, easy-going and supportive. They are naturally diplomatic, and are often called upon to mediate, providing their measured advice to help people meet in the middle.
This is the most common personality type in the workplace. The Negotiator is typically a “people person”, someone who can empathise with others and see both sides of a situation. Real-world examples of the Negotiator include former prime minister of South Africa, Nelson Mandela and Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres.
The Thinker
This personality type is usually introverted and reserved, with an analytical and logical approach to working. Well-known examples of this personality type include Facebook founder and current Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Microsoft founder Bill Gates. The Thinker usually prefers to opt for a methodical approach to tasks and has a high level of attention to detail. They are modest and rarely shout about their achievements but often possess a high level of intelligence and are skilled problem solvers.
The Executive
Executives operate within a company as they do in their own life: based on principles such as fairness, justice, and a strong sense of what’s right and wrong. Real-world examples of the Executive include American author, attorney and former First Lady Michelle Obama and former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
In a work setting, the Executive is conscientious, hard-working, and organised, with a tendency to compare all activities to a company ideal, which can often be a problem for co-workers. They appreciate structure and standards, and struggle to stray from the norm. To this end they are generally not as innovative in their approaches to tasks but are steadfast, consistent and thrive on quality.
