Keep in mind that no one fits only into one of these descriptions but we are a blend of all four.
Typical positive character traits of these are:
Director: driven by an active will and the need to get results.
Marketer: driven by emotion and the need to influence.

When under pressure each of us typically reacts differently:
Director: responds through outbursts.
Marketer: responds with intense emotion and talking.
Analyst: responds by withdrawing and thinking negatively.
Mentor: responds by withdrawing and becoming fatigued.
Each of us looks to others for support:
Director: needs respect and the acceptance of their ideas.
Marketer: seeks approval, camaraderie and to be noticed.

Director: King David, Ruth, Apostle Paul
Marketer: King Solomon, James the brother to Jesus
Analyst: Moses, Matthew the Tax Collector
Mentor: Abraham, Esther, Barnabas
Where does Christ fit in these descriptions? Christ has the perfect match of each category. Herein we each strive to be more like Him in how we communicate His love towards others.
Each of these Bible characters certainly displayed other character traits but predominantly fell into these categories. Which Bible character most closely matches your own description?
