Communication Style

These types make contact with others through their activities, directing their emotions directly toward their work and endeavors. Their communication style can be called "active expectation of emotions." Business-like sociotypes expect to meet their destined partner amid the whirl of their own activities. In the typical standard image of the male, an assertive attitude is required in life, but not in the realm of emotions. In romantic literature, protagonists often come to know their future lovers by rescuing them from hardship. These sociotypes interpret communication as business cooperation.

This stance can be described as a passive pursuit of emotion. The ethical "sincere" sociotypes confidently select a partner they find attractive, but due to their introverted nature, they express their openness to a relationship through indirect signals. This is the behavioral pattern expected of unmarried women in traditional society.
These sociotypes are most inclined toward "homemaking" with stereotypical role divisions: men as the family breadwinner and protector, women as the family guardian and child-rearer. For them, communication is understood as an exchange of signs of heartfelt attachment.

This group is the most confident in their attitude toward others, and they are not afraid to openly show and talk about their emotions, likes and dislikes, and ethical assessments. These sociotypes are the most sociable in informal contact. Their conversational stance is one of actively seeking out emotions. They bring emotions to those around them. In their life scenario, they tend to marry on average earlier than individuals of other sociotypes. However, they are also characterized by more separations and divorces than other sociotypes. People of this type understand dialogue as an exchange of emotions, seeing it as a way to "sail" through the active current of life.

People of these types are not confident in their own emotions and act in a restrained manner in emotional expression. These types are the least sociable in informal contact.
Their communication style is the opposite of the "Passionate" group. Their stance in informal dialogue is one of passive anticipation of emotion. The communication of these types flows according to established processes and norms. Their life scenarios suggest a tendency to marry later and to be less likely to remarry than representatives of other types. Their marriages are typically the least successful. They understand communication as an exchange of information of a descriptive nature that is lacking. Such communication would not lose much if conducted in written form only.
