Learn the D Personality Type

 


The D Personality type is often the hardest personality to collaborate and work with. If you prefer to take a more methodical approach to your tasks, working with someone with a D Personality could be your own personal nightmare.

Individuals with the D Personality Type are:
  • Driven
  • Forceful
  • Questioning
  • Task-oriented
Individuals with the D Personality often come across as intense because they are focused on completing the task at hand. Furthermore, many individuals with this style will challenge what they hear. They have a desire to not only get things done but to understand why they are being done in certain ways.

That said, don't let their style scare you off - they are an incredible asset for your team if you are able to help them harness their energy to help move your team's or organization's tasks. When a team provides a person with the D Personality Style with clear tasks, work will get completed quickly. They are able to help keep goals and projects on time with their need to move things forward. 

When a person with the D Personality Type questions your approach to a topic, don't take it personally. They have a clear idea in their mind how something should be done. If you respond to their questioning with a thoughtful and reasonable response, they will listen to you. They are focused on getting the task done, and they will comply with opinions outside of their own when they understand your point of view.
