There are four main types of people's communication styles: controlling, expressive, cautious, and moderate. We label them with four animal figures - tiger, peacock, owl and koala. Various characters encountered in work and life can be represented by these animals.
Tiger
The first type of people are as strong and powerful as tigers. This type of person can "fight", but has a strong desire to control. There are two techniques for observing whether a person is a tiger type: First, pay attention to his communication characteristics. If he is accustomed to speaking imperative sentences, expresses very directly, and always wants to quickly get to the part of "getting down to business", then he is likely to be a tiger-type person. Second, pay attention to his performance in group activities. For example, when everyone gathers for dinner, they often show humility to each other when ordering food. If someone snaps at the menu and orders, he's probably a tiger.
Tigers have a strong sense of purpose and control and are always quick to make decisions, making them very easy to identify.
Peacock
The image of the peacock is very suitable for expressive people: trying to open the screen to show themselves, and highly concerned about feelings. Their characteristic is "spontaneous acquaintance", meeting any strangers, and they can quickly become acquainted without transition. They often put "relationship maintenance" in the first place, and unconsciously please each other, hoping that the other party likes them, and specific communication matters may be put on hold. "For the sake of relationships, forget things" is not necessarily a disadvantage, but a characteristic of their communication. Many positions with external liaison duties, such as public relations work, require peacock-type people.
owl
Owl-type people are thoughtful and factual, often giving people a feeling of "not very interested in chatting". In group events, they're so slow that you feel like they're not really engaging in the conversation. But in fact, they are not distracted, just watching carefully.
Owls are very cautious. They will gather enough evidence before taking a stand on a matter, even if they show a sense of "low interest" withdrawal, it is because they are mobilizing their senses and observing the people or things around them.
koala
Koalas are characterized by being slow, gentle, and friendly. Peacocks are also friendly, but they jump forward when they see people, showing a kind of proactive friendliness. Koalas are relatively passive and will not take the initiative to get closer to people.
Koala-type people often talk about "whatever, I can do, listen to you", do not fight or rob, and do not want to offend people.
We can see how people with the above four communication styles behave through the common scene of colleagues having an appointment to eat together. Tiger will be the first to take out his mobile phone, open the Dianping APP, and tell everyone: "I'm optimistic about it, the number one in the rankings, let's go." Tiger is always the first to make up his mind, and he has a clear goal. At this time, the peacock will jump out and say: "Oh, I have been to a restaurant, it is very good, I also know their boss, should we go there?" Yes, the peacock will express himself while pleasing his companions. The owl will wait for everyone to finish speaking and remind: "Wait a minute, let's look at the comments, the number one may also be the store's list. In addition, look at the Gaode map to see if there is a traffic jam." The owl is always the reminder. The people who control the risk and carefully calculate whether the decision is the right one. And the one who has no sense of existence in the crowd is the koala. When everyone thinks of him, he weakly follows up: "I can do it, see you."
