Conclusion- speechThe idea of these exercises is not to generalize people. We are all a blend of these four types, with one (and maybe two) being dominant. Training, lifestyle, childhood experience, education and health all play a part in moulding our personalities and differentiating us. However, understanding the different types of personality and temperament does play a key role in how we can build better work teams and create the best fit between employee’s skills, personality and jobs.
