If only everyone was the same! Well they aren't.

The Bolton and Bolton model uses 2 dimensions of personality, Responsiveness and Assertiveness, to identify 4 personality types using a self-assessment questionnaire. (Robert and Dorothy Bolton).

This allows individuals to:

• Identify – their own style and that of others
• Plan – select ways of behaving that get the best from people
• Try – using the new behaviours and approaches
• Review – did it work?

Most people have more than one trait of personality type but the model highlights the key characteristics.
