2) Helpers: Helpers are concerned about others and sensitive to others’ needs.They are easy to get along and share your problems with. They are sensitive to others’ feelings, fun loving, and usually have a good sense of humour. However, they may have a low self-esteem and tend to overdo things for others.
5) Observers: Observers are usually introverts, curious, and analytical. They like to be left alone and consequently dislike any intrusion on their privacy. One of their greatest qualities is that they remain calm even during a crisis. With their insight, keen observation, and analytical skills they are often able to predict correct outcomes even in complex situations. They may get overly disturbed when such anticipated outcomes do not result.
7) Adventurers: Adventurers like to live an interesting and thrilling life. They are fun-loving people who are often gregarious. They love to party and entertain.They are optimistic and are not easily troubled. They love to take risks and to tackle problems head-on.
8) Asserters: Asserters are direct, straightforward, and confident people, who are known for their assertive behaviour. They prefer to be independent and self-reliant.They also like to take up challenges directly. Asserters are courageous, generally honest, and protective of those around them. However, they lack tact.
9) Peacemakers: Peacemakers are cordial and peace-loving people. They dislike confrontations and like to live in a harmonious environment. When given sufficient time to complete their work and allowed to work for their own peace, they prove to be efficient. Since they are very caring and concerned about others, they can be very good mediators and facilitators. However, they can be
hyper sensitive to criticism.
