Personality structure
The same six types.
So many different structures.
The colours in each little stack are the same six Personality Types. Change their order, and there are already 720 possible arrangements. In real life, the amount of energy in each type varies too — making each person’s Personality Structure their own.
One of these little stacks follows the same order as yours. Once you have your PCM Profile, you can find it!
One personality, six types
There are no
“types of people” here.
These are Personality Types within people. Each of us has a unique Personality Structure, and no type is better than another. Recognising the differences can help us choose a way of communicating that reaches the person in front of us.
