I hope you enjoyed Part 1 – Let’s dig in to Part 2 with styles S & C!
Steadiness – High “S” Style
In written correspondence, Steadiness Styles may send notes just to keep in touch or to let you know they’re thinking of you. Of the four personality types, this one is likely to send thank you notes for almost anything – inviting them to a party, driving them to the dry cleaners, or saving coupons for them. They may even send a thank you note to acknowledge your thank you note. Again, they are likely to organize their correspondence, writing as they do their other to-do task lists – probably in sequential in-out order. Since they tend to write in a slower, more methodically paced manner, their work tends to follow a systematic outline pattern. You’ll likely always see the start of the message addressing how the other party is doing, “I hope this message finds you well and healthy.” There is as great a likelihood that they’ll end the message with an offer of support or provide an opportunity to connect, should it be helpful.
Conscientiousness – High “C” Style
Conscientiousness Styles typically send emails to clarify or explain. Consequently, the emails may become rather long and filled with data, and unlikely to have very much personal or emotional flair to the message. “I was struck by the similarities between the Noonan and Kilgary lawsuits.” But they may also be somewhat reserved or vague. “I’m researching a company’s file now that I can’t talk about.” Or the email may be on the short side with enclosures, citations, or references to specific information. Whether they prefer the long or short form, they usually concentrate on processing data. They like to cover their bases, so they are neither misinterpreted, incomplete, nor incorrect.
Like Dominance Styles, in the interest of time, they may sign personal cards with just their names or with individual mottos, like “In the spirit of growth, Jonathan Williams.” Even if you know them well, this type may include their surnames so there’s no mistaking who sent this card.
