logical: Asking for data, facts, and known
or needed information from others




                               http://www.flickr.com/photos/theodorescott/4349756381/
me in white: Comes easily to me,
good first steps, can quickly get boring




                                  http://www.flickr.com/photos/theodorescott/4349756381/
cautious:
       Playing devil's
advocate, identifying
difficulties, potential
   problems, or why
 something may not
                 work

me in
black: Can be
  fun though often
frustrating, lowers
  my energy levels,
slows things down

 http://www.flickr.com/photos/steffen-hillenbrand/8176300450/
creative: Offering possibilities,
alternatives, solutions, new ideas   http://www.flickr.com/photos/kellbailey/2336781962/
me in green: Find it energising, easy
to become dominant         http://www.flickr.com/photos/kellbailey/2336781962/
intuitive:
     Explaining
hunches, feelings,
     gut instinct




  http://www.flickr.com/photos/photoloni/7534818334/
me in
                 red:
     Sometimes
  challenging to
convey, thought-
     provoking,
       reflective
  http://www.flickr.com/photos/photoloni/7534818334/
optimistic: Being positive, enthusiastic,
supportive, values and benefits, why something
may work




                                   http://www.flickr.com/photos/b3d_/6041185574/
Me in yellow: Natural, flowing, thrive
on others matching levels of enthusiasm and
collaboration

organised: Using rationalism, intellect,
focus, next steps, action plans   http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuvalh/4814492005/
me in blue: Restrictive, cools interest,
becomes frustrating, focus turns to distractions
