They prefer to exist in the world of theories and possibilities and gain more satisfaction from planning, strategizing than from actual implementation. These individuals are creative problem solvers and inspire others to think outside of the box. Intuitors communicate concepts and insights but may not always have factual basis or understand how their ideas will actually work. Because they focus on possibilities, they move quickly from topic to topic. They often assume others understand their ideas without full explanation or that they think the same as they do. They are very convinced of the value of their ideas and contributions and may become irritated or defensive when others challenge their conclusions. This style is frequently criticized for being unrealistic and impractical. Thinker Communicators - ANSWER Thinker Communicators are individuals that value logic, objectivity and analysis. They are not easily influenced by emotions and often believe emotions really have no place in decision making. These individuals prefer to analyze data or historical information when developing current solutions. Thinkers are even tempered and tend to treat others fairly. Thinkers communicate directly and are concerned more with honesty and accuracy. This tendency can be perceived as blunt and insensitive, and frequently inhibits building and nurturing relationships. Because thinkers are logical and factual, they assume everyone understands them and sees things the same way they do. This style is often criticized for being too cautious and conservative. Senser Communicators - ANSWER [PA1]Senser Communicators are individuals who are results oriented and value deadlines and projects. This style has a high need to achieve but also they are very practical. These individuals will only commit themselves to a project or an idea once they know all the details and they have determined there is a high likelihood of success. Sensers tend to be more down-to-earth, energetic and are detail-oriented individuals. Though they can conceptualize, they prefer specifics. These individuals have high standards and are frequently perfectionists and expect that of others. They are very direct in their communication, with little patience for people who do not get to the point and they have no patience for small talk. Because Sensers are so focused on achievement, they may emphasize short term results over long term planning. This style is criticized for being too opinionated and not respecting others' opinions Feeler Communicators - ANSWER Feeler Communicators are individuals who value their relationships with others. They respond to other people's needs, their feelings and moods. Feelers are quick to provide support, empathy and encouragement. A Feeler will typically be the person making sure that everyone else feels valued, that others gets their opinion heard and are happy. These individuals are good at facilitating consensus and mediating disagreement. They are great listeners, approachable and good at pointing out others' strengths. Because relationships are so important to a Feeler, goals and deadlines are sometimes sacrificed for the sake of the relationship. Their communication style tends to be more tactful than honest, as they do not want to hurt anyone's feelings. They may tend to avoid or delay making decisions until everyone is happy with the decision. Since Feelers rely more on "gut feelings" than logic, they may become defensive when confronted, appearing overly sensitive and subjective. This style can be criticized for being too emotional.
