Personality types - mutual perceptions matrix

How different personalities perceive each other

Based on the Four Temperaments personality model (also referred to as DISC), this matrix shows how
different personalities perceive each other. The left vertical axis is 'looking at' the top horizontal axis. See the
key below for brief characteristics of each personality type. The blank worksheet on page two can be used
for training exercises: ask participants to complete the matrix. It helps to first agree examples of each
personality type, (for example: D = entrepreneur/adventurer, I = politician/entertainer, S = inspector/officer,
C = academic/scientist), or identify known public figures that fit the personality types.
