Playing the Personality Game
The Personality Game is a fun
way to learn about personality types and their unique - and often quirky - traits. This
personality system focuses on improving team-work and increasing productivity
within a company.
This can be used as an exercise in creativity and learning to see the world in new and different ways.
How to Play the Personality Game
- Print out the blank puzzle pieces chart (Blank Puzzle Pieces-htm, PDF download). Use the "back" button on your browser to return here. You'll probably want to make several copies of the blank chart before you start coloring it.
- Print out the color chart that goes along with it (Color Chart). Use the "back" button on your browser to return here.
- If you haven't already printed the overview of the Personality Game, do that (The Personality Game). Use the "back" button on your browser to return here.
- Find a quiet place where you can color your charts without interference.
- Use yourself as a guide, and see how many of the puzzle pieces you can color using the overview of the Personality Game as a starting point, along with the Color Chart.
- Then, try to figure out the personality aspects of someone you are close to - a good friend, spouse, co-worker or boss. Next time you have a conflict with someone, see if you can see what "color" they are!
- When you finish, you might have a chart that looks like this sample (Sample Colored Chart)
For Group Team-Building:
- This Game is best used in a healthy working atmosphere, where people are willing and interested in learning more about themselves and their co-workers.
- Have everyone spend some time coloring their own chart (either in a relaxed session or on their own).
- Don't worry about missing colors. Concentrate on figuring out the Role and Reactive Center first.
- Then, try to find the Perspective for yourself and others.
- Compare notes and see if everyone can agree on each others' Role, Center and Perspective.
- If so, try to do the rest of the personality traits. If not, you may want to read some of the books published on this system to learn more.
- Then, review what you've learned over several more working sessions. You may find that people have an "A Ha!" experience when they see how The Personality Game explains a person's way of doing things or their reaction to situations.
