Arranger: I am comfortable handling messy situations that need to be organized or reconfigured. I think outside of the box when confronted with a task. If I am not multitasking my brain is bored. Although too much in my brain causes me to be overwhelmed. I take time to consider the investments of all parties with the goal of maximizing others joy and minimizing their frustration.


Relator: I must have close relationships with others. I feel comfortable in small and large crowds. I enjoy meeting people and figuring them out. I can easily enjoy small talk, but I prefer deep conversation. My language of appreciation in the workplace is acts of kindness and appropriate physical touch. I love giving and receiving hugs. I easily adjust to those that do not like hugs. I strive to make sure that every encounter I have leads the other person towards happiness.
