Adler's Type Of Personality





       Adler (1956) developed a scheme of the so called personality types. These types emerge from combining degrees of activity with social interest.

  • The Getting or Leaning type is those who selfishly take without giving                   back. These people also tend to be anti-social and have low activity levels.
  • The Avoiding types are those that hate being defeated. They may be successful, but have not taken any risks getting there. They are likely to have low social contact in fear of rejection or defeat in any way.
  • The Ruling or Dominant type strives for power and is willing to manipulate situations and people, anything to get their way. People of this type are also prone to anti-social behavior.
  • The Socially Useful types are those who are very outgoing and very active. They have a lot of social contact and strive to make changes for the good.
