Definition of Roles

There is a proper and improper way to interpret the personality profiles.

• The improper way to interpret a profile is to look at the highest letter and assume that the personality style comprehensively defines the individual in question. This sort of interpretation, while indicative of a personality tendency, oversimplifies the individual's personality.
• The proper approach for interpretation is to look closely at the top letter (leading role), the second letter (supporting role), and the bottom letter (the villain role).

While some people have just one definitive role, most people have two roles. The most common combinations for leading and supporting roles are A-T, E-M, T-M, and E-A.

The more uncommon combinations for leading and supporting roles are E-T, and M-A (the rarest combination). More information on the dynamics of these combinations is covered in the sample patterns section.
