The Four Preference Scales

The KTS®-II uses four scales to sort candidates into one of Keirsey's four Temperaments and one of sixteen Character types. The four preference scales measure a respondent's preference for:

(E)=Expressive vs. (I)=Attentive (S)=Observant vs. (N)=Introspective (T)=Tough-Minded vs. (F)=Friendly (J)=Scheduling vs. (P)=Probing

The Four Temperaments:

Artisans™ prefer jobs where they can troubleshoot, respond to crises and negotiate. They also enjoy identifying and responding to opportunities.

Guardians™ prefer jobs that demand responsibility. They enjoy improving their efficiency of processes and setting up standardized procedures

Rationals™ enjoy jobs that demand a high level of expertise and high standards of competence. They enjoy designing and understanding systems.

Idealists™ enjoy jobs that allow them to support and encourage others. Their tendency to be enthusiastic can energize and improve the moral of others.

Once you understand this about your customer, you can then adapt your behavior and selling style to better match them. This, in turn, will increase their comfort level with you and they be more inclined to trust you in the negotiation process.
