New Global Study Defines 4 Personality Types

A Northwestern University-led study identifies 4 distinct personality types: average, reserved, self-centered, and role model

A new study, however, challenges these existing paradigms.

In the field of psychology, there are five higher-order and widely accepted personality traits: neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. The researchers used these personality traits to help cluster their findings.

Using the above traits as defining variables, researchers plotted the survey results to uncover 4 distinct personality clusters.

Understanding ourselves and our peers is critical to cultivating productive relationships: both at home and in the workplace. Personalities are a spectrum, and a clustered label shouldn’t necessarily define who we are.

What is most important is to understand that each of us approaches the world differently. The way we perceive the world and each other impacts our day-to-day actions. Some of these perceptions may be more helpful than others — and it is important to recognize which traits help versus hurt.

More importantly, personalities are not static — they can and do change over time. This shows that we’re always continuously learning, and that our life experiences will continue to shape how we perceive and interact with our world.
