Thank you for completing the form. Check your email for a detailed breakdown of your primary communication type, along with details of any additional communication styles you connect with.
Analytical communicators are logical, dependable and numbers-driven.
They like to use data and facts to support their ideas. When communicating with an analytical, use precise and specific language. Keep praise quick and to the point with supportive evidence (although it's likely they would know praise is due as they're always on the ball with numbers)
How to connect:
Personal communicators are candid, diplomatic, and emotion-driven.
They enjoy connecting with others on a more intimate level. Praise is welcome not only for the big tasks but the little tasks too. You'll find a Personal communicator is often very encouraging and enjoys inspiring others. They make decisions through consultation to weigh in on different perspectives.
How to connect:
Functional communicators are thoughtful, inquisitive, and process-driven.
They think through plans step by step to make sure that nothing gets missed and enjoy providing feedback. Details and established practices influence their decision-making.
How to connect:
Intuitive communicators are visual, creative and macro-level thinkers.
They focus on the big picture and dislike getting bogged down with too many details and rarely get overwhelmed. Intuitive communicators, enjoy hearing praise as long as it's made quickly, and make decisions without over analysing the specifics.
