We could learn a lot from crayons:
Some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull,
some have weird names and all are different colors…
but they all have to learn to live in the same box.

My introduction to personality styles began in 1994 when I was about to begin working as a seminar trainer for National Seminars Group (NSG).
We each took a personality test in our workbooks and then the speaker began his humorous interpretation of each of the styles. This particular assessment was created by Virginia Satir and it included personalities styles labeled: Blamer, Placater, Computer, Distracter and Leveler.
The speaker had the entire audience laughing until they cried. He had me laughing too, at first, but then I gradually became more and more agitated about what I understood my husband’s style to be.
By the time I got home that night, I was so upset about my husband’s personality style that it launched us into another round of our same old, drag-out argument.
