\u2018Personality Plus<\/strong>\u2018 is a book written by Florence Littauer.\u00a0 Florence is a self-help writer and speaker.\u00a0 She and her husband developed the Personality Plus<\/em> system based on Hippocrates\u2019s theory of the Four Temperments.\u00a0 Dani Johnson also has a system based on this that she calls Gems.<\/p>\n

Personality Plus<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Personality Plus<\/span> categorizes people into four groups:\u00a0 Choleric, Melancholy, Sanguine and Phlagmatic.\u00a0 In Florence\u2019s system, you can have characteristics of more than one group, while in Hippocrates\u2019s theory you could only belong to one.<\/p>\n

The main reason this is important to people in Network Marketing is because you will try to\u00a0recruit all four types of people.\u00a0 In order to do this, you need to be able to speak to them in a way that they can understand you.\u00a0 I will not be able to tell you everything you need to know about the four personality types in a blog so if you are interested, you should read the book.<\/p>\n

Strengths of the Four Personality Plus Groups<\/h2>\n

Choleric:\u00a0 leader, optimist, likes change, dominant, strong, decisive and independant<\/p>\n

Melancholy:\u00a0 thinking, introvert, pessimist, analytical, talented, creative and genius prone<\/p>\n

Sanguine:\u00a0 social, entertaining, extrovert, talker, optimist and\u00a0emotional<\/p>\n

Phlagmatic:\u00a0 watcher, pessimist, low-key, easygoing, consistant and\u00a0sympathetic<\/p>\n

Personality Plus Weaknesses<\/h3>\n

To get the weaknesses of the personality types in Personality Plus you will have to read the book.\u00a0 Not only are they given but Florence also gives you ways to correct them.\u00a0 So once you find your personality type, you will learn how to turn your weaknesses into strengths.<\/p>\n

I totally enjoyed reading Personality Plus, not only to learn more about why and how I tick (and it was pretty accurate), but also how others did.\u00a0 After reading it, I found I could pick out the different personality types in my co-workers.\u00a0 It was an eye opener.\u00a0 Once I started talking to them in their language, we were able to communicate better.\u00a0 I plan to read it again and again.<\/p>\n

The Personality Plus Test<\/h3>\n

When you take the test you are given 42 sets of four words.\u00a0\u00a0You have to pick the word in each\u00a0set that best\u00a0describes you.\u00a0 Some of them were difficult and in a few, I found I went for the one most like me even if I didn\u2019t think it really applied.\u00a0 You can take the test as you are now, but you can also take it based on you as a child.\u00a0 You will find how much you changed as time went on \u2013 or if you changed.\u00a0 Sometimes life happens and someone who was once one type will change and become another.<\/p>\n

Why You Should Read Personality Plus<\/h3>\n

You should read Personality Plus if you want to understand people.\u00a0 You will learn how to communicate with people by their personality type and it will make your life much easier.\u00a0 If you are a network marketer, you know that you need to find a small niche to specialize in.\u00a0 If you did that and then spoke only to one personality type, you would be cutting out 3\/4 of your small niche.\u00a0 That wouldn\u2019t be a very profitable thing to do!!<\/p>\n

Personality Plus is an interesting read.\u00a0 I had trouble putting it down.\u00a0 You may not be like me \u2013 I\u2019m a Peaceful Phlagmatic \u2013 so reading may be to calm for you.\u00a0 Personality Plus is available in paperback, kindle and audio so you can play it when you do something else . . . like driving.\u00a0 I personally got the Kindle version for my iPad.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I couldn\u2019t do any bookmarks or highlighting on it so it\u2019s hard for me to find references.\u00a0 I would not suggest doing that even if it is cheaper to purchase than the book.<\/p>\n
