Re: Personality Types

Anyone with a higher activity level may obviously be busier than someone with a lower activity level, yet productivity is another matter. A manic or obsessive-compulsive individual may be busy, but inefficient or lost in trivia. A criminal could be even hyperactive in his goal of stealing from people. Some people believe that anger drives them to accomplishment. This may be true, but their goals may be very selfish, exploitive, or revengeful. High achievement can also be driven by positive feelings. Two interesting perspectives on the impact of feelings on achievement are offered by James Barber in "The Presidential Character," and Philip Slater in" Wealth Addiction."

Also look at Abraham Maslow's "Motivation and Personality." He refers to the self-actualizing individual's "more efficient perception of reality." You could translate this into better concentration and focus.
