Do you know your personality/temperament? This is important because if we know the temperaments of other people, we can easily deal with them. We can understand how and why they think and feel that way.

There are four personalities/temperaments. First is the choleric. He is enthusiastic and possesses a keen, sharp intellect. He works diligently despite the obstacles. The choleric, however, thinks highly of himself and is stubborn and opionated.Next is the melancholic. He is easily excited and is driven by laws and principles. He loves solitude and are excellent counselors to friends and acquaintances, even willing to make sacrifices for others. They are, however, inclined to despair and it can lead to self-pity. They are a pessimistic breed.
The sanguine is full of optimism. He is the most extrovert of the four temperaments. He is extremely friendly and the life of the party. And yet, the sanguine tend to make the wrong decisions. They are unstable and rarely do they internalize conflicts.
Last is the phlegmatic. They persevere and not easily offended. They are thoughtful and always maintain their cool. They do, however, often miss opportunities because they lack ambitions and/or aspirations. They are quite lazy and they much rather prefer things that require little effort.

Just a small understanding of what I am about to share with you can drastically change the way you interact with people, it should make it easier to relate, motivate, empathize and empower all those you encounter and deal with on a daily basis.

Now, to help your retention, and my explanation along, please grab yourself a blank piece of paper.  Ready?  Great!!  Now, draw a line through the middle from top to bottom, and label the top “relationship focused” and label the bottom “task oriented.”  Then, a line in the middle from side to side, on the left write Indirect, and the right write direct.  Now, you should have 4 quadrants, let’s label the upper left, Yellow and the upper right Blue.  The lower left Green and the lower right Red.

The relationship task thing seems pretty straight forward.  But, the relationship people love meeting and getting to know people.  The task people just want to get things done.  The direct, and indirect is a little bit harder to get grasp on, but the gist of it is, Direct people try to control the conversation, and well, are quite direct.  And the Indirect people tend to listen more and say less, and they ask questions more often, where a direct person would make a statement.

On to the Good stuff.

Yellows

Yellows are relationship oriented  and indirect.  They are warm and fuzzy people, they care about everything, and want to help all they can, they are the ones that seem to give and give and give, no matter how little they already have, and never want something back.  A lot of people consider a yellow a pushover, but I find them to be excellent leaders, and great business partners, because they seem to have the patience of a mountain.  Usually they will be care workers, nurses, teachers and the like.  They dress for comfort, speak softly, and will listen to your problems all day long.  They want to be your friend, and they will listen to you to prove it.  Never try to sell a Yellow on your product or your business opportunity, and don’t be to excited when you talk to them about, they see excitement as hype and are turned off by it.  Just visit with them, and tell them how your plan can help them, or their friends, and let them come to the decision themselves.  Focus on talking to them about their family and their activities and they will be a lot more receptive to you.

Blues

Blues just want to have fun.  They are naturally very excited people, they love to talk, and talk, and talk, and talk, about anything really.  They seem to jump from topic to topic with hardly any rhyme or reason, they are the people where if you get on an elevator with them, you could know their life story before you go five floors.  They are usually in sales and public speaking.  They see the big picture right away, and like to jump right into the thick of it.  Always explain the fun features of your product or service to a Blue.  They love to make friends to, but unlike the yellow instead of listening, a Blue will generally talk you into being their friend.

Greens

The Greens want to know Everything.  They are very analytical scientific people, they want all the information they can possibly get before they even consider making a decision about anything.  These are the Engineers, Scientists, Mathmaticians, and the like of society.  They sometimes suffer from paralysis analyasis but, once they have made up their mind whatever they decided to happens.  You can’t sell a green on anything, your best bet is just to tell them everything, then also leave them with reference material, and let the information do the talking, they want it all anyway.

Reds

Reds, 

Some single friends might ask you out to join them. If you really want to hang out with them, that’s great. You need to have some fun. But if you don’t feel like you want to go out, then don’t force yourself to get out, just to pretend that you’re having fun on Valentine’s day.  In that case, start your Valentine’s celebration even earlier, starting on the day before it, by shopping around to collect the things which you might need to indulge yourself in the next day, such as hobby/craft supplies, DVDs or others, and make sure that healthy food is one of them.

Now that Valentine’s day is around, it is the perfect time to say “I Love You”, so be kind to yourself. If want to express it so badly to others, why don’t you express it to yourself first? Find out which part of you deserve to be loved, whether it is your personality, or other good qualities, and love yourself for those positive qualities.

Crying over past is the worst way to celebrate Valentine’s day. That way, learn from it, and find a way to cheer you up. Such as:

• Watching you favorite movies.
• Listening to your favorite musics, or even singing and dancing with it.
• Make a list of things you’ve accomplished, and read it. Don’t forget to put this note on the wall, next to your bed, desk, or anywhere which might catch your attention to read it again and again.
• Read something which you might need to learn.

Last but not least; Get real. Valentine’s day is just like any other days within a year.

It would be great if you can quickly identify the personality of the person you are talking about their ability, and customize the presentation at the best possible way for you to just talk about what the prospect wants to hear to understand how society can work for them?

Without doubt, leave to present your business more streamlined and give you more time to build a relationship with a prospect.

If you take a few minutes to listen to your prospect, you Quicky able to identify which of the four main categories of similar color. Here are some tips for yellow:

Personality types are usually yellow to talk about how they like to help people, their emotions and are clearly in good heart and often gently. It is likely that the work in the health sector, teachers, social workers, etc. Yellow personalities are often good communicators, because the needs of others, and can often make a great addition to your team than to take the time to help others grow their business.

Yellow personalities may not be as “go”, like other personality types, and will adapt to your business proposal slowly. They may need the input of other people you trust and have the freedom to work at their own pace. But in general, are good team players. Reliable, patient and supportive.

If you want to work with this person, you must explain how the product will help people, help them save money, help them lose weight, helps increase energy, to generate an income allows them to spend more time at home with his family, etc, etc, because it motivates more than a great compensation plan, incentive travel and cars that can win.

Do it well and you have a good partner, the sound of your computer?

Good-Natured is a very good thing to be. It’s definitely a
plus for personality and character. Literally having an easygoing and cheerful
disposition draws people as friends. When you run into criticism, it’s just
falls off you like water. Good-Natured also widens your spectrum to the
agreeable, open mindedness  and basically
an all around free-spirit.

This all sounds like not only people you would like to meet
and develop relationships with but also aspire to be that someone yourself.  Kind is the all important attribute of the
Good-Natured person. Being considerate, showing tenderness and being helpful. I
think if everyone in the world was like this, what a great place our little
planet would be.

So how is it when all these things go bad?

Unfortunately the world is full of psychopaths. These types
of people aspire to great heights in structured environments like the world of
business, the military and the workplace. These types of people know who you
are. They actually look for you. They try to manipulate and use you.  Above all they hate you and everything you
are.

Why?

These soulless creatures can never develop the special
feelings and intuition you naturally possess. They work hard to acquire power
to make up for what they lack.

They use this power to destroy all that’s good and at a more
far reaching sense to also destroy nature itself.

This can be taken on many levels from the personal to the
big picture of human society worldwide.

The only advice I can give is never give in to any type of
power that would compromise your beliefs and just let the power run wild until
eventually it turns on itself in total destruction.

We the Good-Natured of the world will inherit the earth
because what the psychopaths do not realize is that when it comes time to
fight, we the Good-Natured will win every time. We are the light and they are
the darkness.

We can take another’s life as an example, but we must think hard before we follow them. Look at the virtues of others and ask yourself: “I have something valuable and worthwhile myself? How can I bring it out?” When you notice something bad in those around you, make a firm resolve: “Let me not nurture such vices”.

There is much hidden potential in each one of us. What should we do to make this blossom? When you activate yourself, you bring out all the strengths and talents that God has given you, all that is inherent in you, that is natural in you, something genuine and original.

Create your own identity. When you do this other people gravitate towards you. Activation leads to gravitation. Then you don’t imitate others. Instead others might want to be like you. We are used to paying more attention to the external world. We try to gain social approval by dressing ourselves in a certain manner.

We stand in front of the mirror and make sure that we are presentable before we leave the house. We trust the mirror implicitly. The mirror reflects our outward appearance, not our thoughts, feelings and relationships.

Does it reflect the love in your heart? You may go to your workplace dressed in your best clothes. When somebody provokes you there, you may retort in anger or sulk in silence. Either way your peace of mind is shattered. Now your beautiful dress does nothing to help you.

Only inner strength and equipoise can continue to keep you calm, cheerful and unruffled. For this you have to activate the divine core within, from which flows a perennial stream of peace and tranquillity.

Imitation cannot give you peace. So, watch your attitude, thoughts, words and desires. Be aware of the calmness in your inner core and try to retain it.

External beauty is temporary. Inner beauty is permanent and eternal. This is the beauty we need and this is what we gain when we activate ourselves. This is the beauty God recognises. So seek love, for you seek inner beauty. Direct your mind to a higher ideal.

When you see the divine beauty concealed in your own heart, you also see it in others. “Do not see, seek”. Don’t look merely at the external form, but also at the divinity within. Today when you see a beggar, you will give him alms.

You will not pat him on the back or shake his hand. If your child comes home, dirty from the playground and calls you “Mummy, Daddy …”, you hug him with love.

If a child in rags comes to you, you drive him away because you don’t love him. For the realised soul a beggar and a king are equally divine and beautiful because he has activated his inner core.

When you imitate you only see. When you activate you seek. The difference between “see” and “seek” is the “k”. That “k” is kindness or karuna.

When there is care, compassion and kindness, nothing else matters. So let us stop imitating. Let us evaluate ourselves and nurture the divine core within. Let us seek. Let us activate.
