I Wasn’t a Dead Fish
My wife screamed at me, “I’d get more response from a DEAD FISH!”
We had been married about 2 years and were having a discussion (fight) about something. She was walking back and forth telling me everything she was feeling when she paused for a response.
She yelled when she didn’t get one.
What neither one of us knew at the time was that I wasn’t a dead fish, I was a Peaceful Phlegmatic.
The 4 Personalities
Did you know that everyone of us – including you – has one of four distinct personality styles that dictate how we think, act, relate, and communicate?
In our Dead Fish incident, my wife expected an instant response because one of the strongest personality traits is that she thinks out loud. If she thinks it, she says it. Period. When I didn’t respond, she thought I was blowing her off.
My personality is EXACTLY the opposite. I think and think and think and THINK before I speak just to make sure what I say is precisely what I mean. I wasn’t blowing her off, I was thinking.
Your Music Career
Learning about the 4 Personalities has done more to help my career (and marriage) than almost anything else I know and it’ll do the same for you.
- Knowing how people think, act, relate, and communicate will help you better understand, communicate, work and live with the people in your life.
- Knowing YOUR Personality Type will help you take advantage of your strengths and properly manage your weaknesses.
Think, Act, Relate, Etc.
This post is not meant to fully explain everything there is to know about personalities, but here are the basics:
- Powerful Choleric – These people are direct, firm, ambitious, and no nonsense.
- Popular Sanguine – think bubbly, talkative, sociable, charismatic, and FUN (my wife)!
- Peaceful Phlegmatic – These people are thoughtful, calm, relaxed, and peacemakers (me).
- Perfect Melancholy – People with this personality are detail minded, introverted, often artistic, and deep thinkers.
