Understanding Your Personality Style

Understanding your personality style is one of the most effective ways to be successful at work, school, or home. When you understand how you behave and the reasoning behind your behavior, it helps you make better decisions, collaborate with others, lead effectively, adapt to changing situations, and more. Personality training is instrumental in helping you discover your style and draw on your strengths.

The Benefits of Knowing Your Personality Style

Personality and work style profile assessments can help to reveal four main things about yourself:

Your self-awareness: The more you know about yourself, the more you’re able to determine what you really need in your life. Knowing your personality style helps you become more self-aware.

Where you get your energy from: An introvert needs downtime to recharge, while an extrovert needs people time to gain energy

Strengths and weaknesses: Reveal aspects of your personality by highlighting your creativity, personality traits, and how you resolve conflict. The more insight you have, the easier it is to determine your strengths and weaknesses.

Inform your career: Personality tests reveal aspects of your personality that are relevant to your work environment. Knowing your style can help you figure out your work goals and career path.

The Four Personality Styles

At HRDQ, we know about the importance of personality training. Our popular Style Suite series helps individuals determine their style in eight aspects: personality style, communication, leadership, coaching, learning, selling, teams, and time.

Our research-based assessments, grounded in the work of William Moulton Marston, Carl Jung, and others, break personality styles into four styles that everyone embodies to some degree. Knowing what they mean allows you to use your own style to better communicate with others. They include

  • Direct: Someone who is upfront and realistic
  • Spirited: Someone who is energetic and enthusiastic
  • Considerate: Someone who is thoughtful and compassionate
  • Systematic: Someone who is organized and logical

These four styles guide our actions, decisions, and overall approach to life.

Expressiveness and assertiveness are other personality traits to consider. These are learned behaviors we use to cope with the demands and expectations placed upon us. These explain how we can appear to have one personality at work, while having another in our personal life.
