It describes the characteristics of each style and suggests that people should communicate in a way that considers the receiver's style. The document then discusses effective communication techniques, including organizing thoughts before speaking, being specific with details, being direct, repeating key points, asking for feedback, and listening actively by paying attention to non-verbal cues. The overall message is that understanding different communication styles and applying best practices can improve understanding between people.

Editor's Notes
- Hello and welcome to Who Are You? A look at how your personality influences the way you communicate, sponsored by Liberty University Society for Human Resource Management. Hopefully by now you have all identified the personality type that BEST fits you. There is going to be a little bit of overlap between them, you may move between types in different situations, and your personality may even change as time passes. We are going to talk about which personality type best fits you.Your personality really influences the way you communicate! Something that speaks very loudly or carries strong emphasis with you, may not for me, or someone else. We all hear and process things differently. We’re going to talk about how to use that to our advantage.Interaction: Pick someone “What is your name?” “What type did you choose?” “Why?” “Is anyone at your table also that type?” So let’s talk about the types.
- The four personality types are identified by the way you communicate best. The yellow personality is a bold communicator. The red personality is an expressive communicator. The green personality is a sympathetic communicator. The blue personality is a technical communicator.Jesus exhibited each of these styles at different points in His life and ministry. There’s also a different application for each of these in regards to our faith and sharing the gospel with others. We’re going to talk more about that as well.
- The first personality type we’re going to talk about is the yellows. This is the BOLD personality! This personality type is the go-to person when things need done. They have a lot of drive, a lot of initiative, they are clear and concise. One of their strengths is problem solving. Bold personalities make good leaders because they see the big picture.Jesus was bold ALL the time. Especially when He made statements like this.
- The expressive communicator is the people person. They feel very comfortable around people and are the most optimistic personality. They focus on intangible things, and are also big picture people.
- The sympathetic personality is the one that people like to go to for advice. They can sometimes be reserved, but they are very sincere. Like the expressivepersonality, the sympathetic personality has a tendency to want to connect on an emotional level with others. Jesus was a sympathetic personality type when he got on our level, taking the form of a human.
- The blue personality is the technical personality. This person thinks logically, they like to organize, and they may work well with numbers and systems.
- Split up into groups
- Since we’ve established that not everyone communicates the same way, you should use this knowledge to communicate more effectively. You don’t have to change your style or your personality, but you can present it in a way that will make sense to the person you’re talking to.
- I want to discuss some techniques that span every personality type. What kind of tactics can you use to communicate effectively? Talking and Listening?
- Real Life Example: Home to Katie and Mike
- Mental noise: Ever been in a conversation when a person is talking, and you’re thinking about something else? Or processing what they said? Or thinking about what you’ll say next?
- Know where you’re going before you even start! Often people go on rabbit trails, forgetting why they even started the conversation to begin with. I have been made fun of incessantly about the way I tell stories from my family and friends. I will start talking about the color orange and quickly end up thinking about celery or something. Don’t ever ask me “what are you thinking?” I will tell you. And I will tell you exactly how I got there too. So it’s important to know what you’ll say before you say it. And emphasize what’s important!
- Have you ever been in the situation where someone said something to a group of people, but you really know it was directed at you?
