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.
