There are two variables to identify any personality: The four personality types are: Driver, Expressive, Amiable, and Analytical. I find it is much more likely that I will remember what an ‘Expressive’ temperament is like than a ‘Sanguine’ temperament. I prefer to use adjectives instead of the terms used in the book however, which are based on the Greek physician Hippocrates’ humors.

Many of the different classifications systems are based on the four major types that stem from Hippocrates, way back in the 4th century B.C. There are many different classifications for personalities out there, and everyone has their preferences. You’re trying to do or be something that is not aligned with who you truly are and does not match up with the unique gifts that you and only YOU possess. If you’re not exactly where you want to be at this moment or if you keep asking yourself “what is my problem?”, chances are you’re getting in your own way. You may be in the same trap I found myself in. Not surprisingly I found myself unhappy and unfulfilled, but I didn’t really understand why until I had to break this down for my coaching clients.
I love science and enjoyed so much of it, but it didn’t line up with my strengths at ALL. It was very monotonous, consisted of detailed work, and was in a quiet, solitary environment. I am a Driver/Expressive and in a former life, I was in a job that required attention to detail. Fist take the Personality Purpose Test HERE to know where you fall between the 4 personality types
