Key Concept

We all know extroverted people and others who are introverted. We are aware of people who are creative by nature and others who are more analytical. We know people who demonstrate highly varied behavioral characteristics depending on the social environment. So how do these varied "types" apply to a transactional approach? How can we describe our behavior as observed in transaction?

Through most of human history it has been posited that human beings generally fall into one of four basic personality or behavioral types or temperaments. The earliest record of this was written in 400BC by Hippocrates, who noted that the four basic temperaments of human behavior were idea-oriented, theory-oriented, action-oriented, and fact-oriented.

Below are the terms we use in Transactional Competence™ to identify the four personality groupings.
