There are three main types of communicators: Diplomats, Expressives, and Harmonizers. Different
types of communicators get along better with some types than
others.
For instance, because you are a Diplomat, you will tend to get
along best with other Diplomats. This doesn't mean that a
successful relationship between you and an Expressive or a
Harmonizer is impossible. It simply means that those matches are a
less natural fit for you, and those relationships will likely
require more work to keep things going smoothly. Here's the
complete rundown of how you get along with all the communication
types:
Diplomats with
Diplomats: This
is your best match in terms of communication since another Diplomat
will usually be happy to work through problems with you. As
Diplomats, you'll both typically enjoy openly discussing your
thoughts and feelings around issues and will each offer a
sympathetic ear to one another.
Diplomats with
Expressives: A
Diplomat/Expressive pairing can work, but it will likely take some
extra effort. Expressives tend to be quick to boil and can be
single-minded when they get angry. As a result, their approach to
tough conversations may make you feel like they are not listening
to you. Before you can establish a truly productive relationship,
these are some issues the two of you will want to work
through.
Diplomats with
Harmonizers:
This match can be successful with a little extra effort. For the
most part, Harmonizers dislike discussing negative emotions and are
comfortable ignoring some heated topics. This tendency runs quite
opposite of your own need to get conflicts out in the open. The two
of you may need to find a happy medium between these styles before
your relationship can move forward.
