- [Narrator] Hi, Psych2Goers,
and welcome back to another video.
Thank you so much.
Your love and support has enabled us
to bring you another twinkling wealth
of everyday psychology.
So let's explore.
If you clicked on this video,
chances are at some point in time,
you wondered about your personality
or maybe someone else's too.
So how do you rank personalities?
Did you know it has its own star for rating,
but more on that later.
Understanding the unique traits
and characteristics of those around you
can significantly enhance your communication skills
and leadership as well.
Making you able to adapt in just about any social setting,
sounds like a pretty useful thing you should learn about.
Right?
Well, behaviorist and HR specialist, Patrick Bet-David,
certainly thought so.
Which is why he developed the STAR system,
topology of personality.
STAR stands for each of the four major personality types,
but David identified to help improve his employee hiring,
training, and retention process.
With that said, here are descriptions
of the four different personality types
and how to deal with them.
Number one, structure-oriented.
All hail the S of the STAR, Responsible, Assertive,
Beautiful, Dependable, and Level-Headed.
These are all words you can use to
describe a structure-oriented individual.
And because you believe in the power of order,
stability, and authority,
you always make sure to lawfully uphold and abide
by the set of rules in any given social institution.
You are also very careful to act
the way that you are expected to,
and may judge those who don't do the same.
Your way of thinking is rational, objective, and pragmatic,
and organized planner who loves to be on top of everything.
Structure-oriented types often make for good leaders,
because they're so detail-oriented and self-motivated.
However, this can also mean you tend to be rigid
and inflexible about following the rules,
and don't usually like to compromise.
If you know of someone like this,
when communicating with them, it's best to present them
with concrete facts and well thought out plans
instead of trying to appeal to their emotional side.
Number two, task-oriented.
The T of the STAR includes the creatives,
the critical, thinkers, and problem solvers of the world.
Do you enjoy philosophical debates?
Is brainstorming new ideas and insights
your one true love?
A true scholar and intellectual.
Task-oriented individuals have an insatiable curiosity
to learn and understand the world
and they value knowledge and self-mastery above most else.
You are highly insightful, introspective and clever,
always looking at the bigger picture,
seeing possibilities others cannot.
Your tendency to be imaginative, analytical,
and eloquent turns you into visionaries
and abstract thinkers.
You dislike smalltalk, doing tedious, repetitive tasks,
and just about anything that holds no substance for you.
And despite what the name might lead you to believe,
task-oriented people actually spend a lot of time
getting lost in their own minds,
because of how rich and complex their inner world is.
There is no greater joy in life than learning something new.
Number three, action-oriented.
Now, onto the A of the STAR,
which resides on the opposite side of the spectrum,
action-oriented personality types
are more doers than thinkers.
Are you a go-getter?
Do you love to have fun and try new things?
If so, that's because you crave excitement
and adventure in your life.
You value beauty, freedom, individuality,
and above all else, making an impact in the world.
Your true talent lies in improvising, storytelling,
and entertaining others with your captivating presence.
You have a passion for taking risks and getting things done,
even though you'd rather be a free spirit
than taking charge of others,
often leadership roles are thrust
upon you in times of trouble.
That is because your charisma helped you excel
at handling crisis and bringing people together,
confident, adaptable, and resourceful.
Action-oriented leaders tend to be very pragmatic
and encouraging, motivating others to do their best
and recognizing them for a job well done.
Four, relationship-oriented.
The R of this STAR are social butterflies
who value harmony and belongingness.
Do you crave emotional connection and always want
to be a part of something bigger than yourself?
Empathetic, emotional, and idealistic?
You're on a never-ending journey toward self-actualization,
and wanna help others achieve the same.
And so it makes sense that your talents often lie
in diplomacy, mediating, inspiring,
counseling, and mentoring.
You are known for always putting other people's wants,
needs, and feelings above your own.
This is because you love supporting
and taking care of your loved ones.
So it comes as no surprise
that you're very conflict averse and often have difficulty
both giving and receiving criticism,
which may lead to a lack of healthy boundaries
in your close relationships, if you're not careful,
but in the end,
if you have a relationship-oriented person in your life,
then you should count yourself very lucky indeed,
because they're the best
and most selfless kinds of friends you can ever make.
Sweet.
We hope we were able to give you insight
into the different personality types.
So, have you figured out your personality type yet?
Which ones did you relate to the most?

and family members belong to?
