Becoming a master communicator by leveraging the knowledge of personalities

Marc Accetta’s personality test was specifically designed to help individuals become better communicators. The premise is basic: by knowing how one’s personal temperament interacts with another, an individual can manipulate his or her communication strategies to adapt to that of the receiver’s personality. That way, the receiver can openly accept the message with minimal to nil reservations.

For example, people with ‘red’ personalities are usually aggressive and over-achieving, thus leading them to assert their leadership and ideals over their subordinates. Their personalities are in stark contrast with that of those in the ‘blue’ category who are generally laidback, fun-loving, and fun-oriented. Although there are points at which they agree with each other, this seemingly mild clash might result in a large-scale rift in some situations.

Conversely, if the ‘red’ leader adapts his or her ways to cater to the usually acquiescent ‘blue,’ he or she could able to command a whole army of people with the latter personality. As long as ‘red’ leaders exhibit a resilient façade coupled with an ostentatious display of high caliber personal skills, then getting ‘blue’ people to follow them should come effortlessly.

Communication is a two-way process. Successful communication is not so much a result of intensive navel-gazing but more of a significant amount of give-and-take. One’s own personality should not bind; but rather, it should liberate the self to reach out to everyone else’s.
