# The Administrator (High A, High B, Low C, Mid D)
2+
3+
**Core:** Reasonably proactive, impatient, and amiable communicator. Not strong in the analytical sense, but has the ability to "read" people and situations effectively. Outgoing, empathetic, and intuitive. Useful in administrative types of management.
4+
5+
**Strengths:** Valuable when supervising others due to the ability to influence people to accept change or new ideas. Can take difficult situations involving people and convert an unfriendly atmosphere to a more civil environment. Adept at getting others to cooperate. Very effective in the facilitation of information. Natural curiosity and social needs create a proactive networking arrangement useful for informing others. Self-sufficient when it comes to completing work at hand. Demonstrates loyalty that is hard to break once comfort is attained. Comfortable in team situations, leaning toward "team leader."
6+
7+
**Challenges:** Impatient — tends to overwhelm people with speedy delivery. Not analytical and easily distracted by tedious technical items. Veers off course when given technical work to complete. Dislikes situations that do not involve others. Becomes dissatisfied with repetitive tasks. Finicky about completing work and will not delegate until trustworthy status is earned. If the resolution is incorrect, will rationalize ad nauseam why they arrived at that conclusion. Can make cruel-sounding comments on occasion despite being an upbeat person overall.
8+
9+
**Management approach:** Recognize them in the presence of others — titles, bonuses, and public praise keep them motivated. Let them teach and mentor new employees; they prefer to take people under their wing. Do not assign tedious technical or repetitive tasks. Keep them in a social, group-oriented environment with consistent change. Provide medium to low risk projects that combine intuitive skill with natural follow-through.
10+
11+
**Risk profile:** Most comfortable with medium to low risk projects and tasks. If they perceive risk, they will resource their direct report or outsource and exchange ideas with others until arriving at a conservative solution. Conservative and cautious rather than envelope-pushing.

# The Coordinator (Low A, High B, Mid C, Low D)
2+
3+
**Core:** Optimistic, persuasive, socially oriented task facilitator. Sounds assertive and take-charge but is actually an amicable, friendly coordinator who prefers being the facilitator of information rather than the resident technical resource. Energetic and animated with a naturally demonstrative communication style.
4+
5+
**Strengths:** Naturally persuasive communicator good at instructional, demonstrative delivery. Enjoys people and keeping harmony in the workplace. Skilled at chit-chatting and meeting others. Energetic multitasker who thrives on variety. Great at coordinating events and relaying information across departments. Obsessed with things being tidy, done correctly, and in their proper place. Possesses loads of historical and archived information. Enjoys being involved in the preparation of social occasions.
6+
7+
**Challenges:** Can be puzzling over time — the "assertive" persona is actually defensiveness when others don't share their standards for correctness. Becomes argumentative when things don't go as planned. Thin-skinned when decisions turn out to be incorrect, and will point to the decision resource rather than own the mistake. Not comfortable with risk and prefers to conform to rules as the safest reaction. Requires close supervision and direction in the initial stage of new situations. Thinks in terms of today and yesterday, needing help with future-oriented goals. Somewhat guarded with new acquaintances despite being extroverted.
8+
9+
**Management approach:** Provide direction, rules, and structure — especially their format. Give close supervision early in new processes; they will grow more comfortable and self-sufficient over time. Keep them on task-oriented projects rather than big strategic initiatives. Assign few direct reports. Be specific with praise, deliver it in the presence of others, and ensure the person giving praise is someone they respect. Use bonuses and titles to maintain their natural optimism.
10+
11+
**Risk profile:** Not comfortable with risk. Prefers to conform to rules because it is the safest reaction. Makes decisions based on consensus and historical precedent — needs to feel they are correct before committing. Becomes defensive rather than assertive when challenged.

# The Craftsman (Low A, Low B, High C, High D)
2+
3+
**Core:** Reactive, routine-oriented, and deeply focused on a single task or trade. Gravitates toward the familiar and avoids perceived risk. Predictable, consistent, and highly accountable — you can set your watch by their timeliness.
4+
5+
**Strengths:** Exceptional single-task focus that is hard to duplicate. "In/out box" approach — take a task, start it, complete it, put it away. Systematic and accountable from start to finish. Highly patient, willing to repeat an action until it is perfected. Knowledgeable and informative on their subjects of expertise. Dependable and consistent in their way of doing tasks.
6+
7+
**Challenges:** Inflexible and stubborn in their ways — "but I always wear that brand" or "my family has done it that way for years." Inwardly reflects on the serious side of every issue. Uncomfortable with small talk and struggles to open conversations. Thin-skinned and defensive over anything they believe to be wrong or negative. Difficult to influence once opinions are formed. Lacks a sense of urgency; laid back and easy going. Will procrastinate when risk is perceived and no trusted advisor is available.
8+
9+
**Management approach:** Lead with positives when disciplining or critiquing — their thin skin demands it. Parcel work into predictable, prioritized pieces. Do not expect them to manage direct reports; they excel at managing tasks and items "by-the-book." Provide a stable, harmonic environment with structure. Give them personal space and sincere, private recognition — they do not like being grandstanded or given plaque-type rewards. Person-to-person interaction from someone they trust or respect works best.
10+
11+
**Risk profile:** Highly risk-averse. Will seek out a direct report or peer the minute they perceive risk, and will procrastinate rather than act if no trusted advisor is available. Always does the safest thing. If the action turns out to be incorrect, it will be the fault of the person who gave the advice, not the Craftsman.

| Motivation | Sincere rewards, personal space, private recognition |
18+
| Communication | Extremely detailed, casual, email preferred. Laid back, informative, and full of data. Can seem extroverted due to sheer volume of factual talk — but the style is factual, not social. |
19+
| Management Style | No direct reports. Routine small projects. Task management. Prefers not to manage people but excels at managing tasks or items that are "by-the-book." |
20+
| Organization | Consistent but can appear slightly disorganized — may be a bit of a pack rat, but it's a system to them. |
21+
| Environment | Stable, consistent, and harmonic. |

## Variations
24+
25+

# The Daredevil (High A, Low B, Low C, Low D)
2+
3+
**Core:** Independent, autonomous, take-charge personality with a "No-Fear" mentality. Craves freedom from society, rules, structure, and conformity. Unconventional and uninhibited free spirit who finds practical yet ingenious solutions to problems.
4+
5+
**Strengths:** Fearless and decisive in fast-moving situations with no mental restraints holding them back. Persuasive style with people despite being hard-headed. Stimulates others productively and has no fear of creating successors. Exceptional brainstormer — out of ten ideas, two will be jaw-dropping. Freely delegates projects and tasks. Allows others to work with little supervision.
6+
7+
**Challenges:** Can get hostile at the thought of being restricted. Wanders off mid-sentence and appears not to care. Will not adhere to dress codes or conformity policies. Lacks ability to recall past events easily. Communicates ideas broadly and conceptually — asking for specifics is discouraging. Actions appear to have reckless abandon to the casual observer. Waves away errors and misjudgments rather than reflecting on them. Considers "worry" a waste of time and will dismiss those who dwell on problems.
8+
9+
**Management approach:** Do not wrap them in rules — it feels like barb wire. Give them freedom and autonomy to pursue goals. Do not attempt to bring them back to yesterday or last week. Keep direct reports few, as too many people are a distraction. Let them delegate so their staff have their own structure. Provide projects, not tasks. Assume they will be an absentee manager unless told otherwise.
10+
11+
**Risk profile:** Little fear and no mental restraints on decision-making. Does not mull over details that would make a decision more conservative. Excels in situations requiring fast, decisive thinking. Will delegate cleanup from errors and venture forward rather than dwell.
