Compatibility Among Personality Types

Me: Negotiator. Funny that it finds that negotiators and directors are likely to choose each other. No wonder I often end up in relationships with computer dudes and engineers.

SO ARE YOU TRULY COMPATIBLE?

In a study of nearly 30,000 people, Dr Helen Fisher has confirmed her belief that
serendipity has nothing to do with love — it is our biological temperament that steers us towards a particular personality type as a romantic partner. Her study found:

* Explorers are most likely to pick other explorers and least likely to choose directors.
* Builders are most likely to opt for other builders and least likely to settle with negotiators.
* Directors are most likely to choose negotiators and least likely to fall for builders.
* Negotiators are most likely to choose directors. Female negotiators are least likely to choose explorers. Male negotiators are least likely to choose builders.
* Statistically, explorers often have a tough time long-term with other explorers (these sensation-seekers are more likely to divorce).
* The safe, loyal builder/builder combination is probably responsible for most of the world’s 50-year marriages.
* Directors are tough-minded, direct, decisive, focused,
technically skilled and competitive — all traits many negotiators need. On the other hand, negotiators are socially skilled, talented with words, mentally flexible and compassionate — traits many directors need.
