People learn through different styles such as visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. The same holds true with a personal development style. As with learning, people will have different personal development styles. It takes knowing what the different styles are in order to determine which style you identify most with.
The Explorer
The explorer personal development style is that of curiosity, exploring the environment surrounding you along with relationships and consciousness. Explorers are willing to attempt different ideas and new experiences just for the joy of having that new experience. Scientists tend to end up being explorers. They have a constant pursuit of greater understanding of new things. The greatest joy for someone who is an explorer is the thrill of new discoveries and opportunities.
The Builder
Almost the opposite of the explorer, a person who is a builder will focus themselves on creating, collecting, and training. They enjoy creating things by spending hours and months on new projects. The act of creating is what brings them their greatest joy. Essentially, it comes down to building the best life possible for themselves. A great example of a builder is an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs build businesses from the ground up and are able to create to their heart’s content.
The Innovator
Innovators are usually the first people to uncover unique solutions to current day problems. They are almost always able to offer up insights that others generally don’t see. Innovators can tie-in with the builders because they also enjoy creating. The only true difference is that they enjoy creating things never seen before. One of the best examples of an innovator would be Leonardo DaVinci. He wasn’t just an artist. DaVinci was constantly creating new things and inventing. Innovators are constantly trying to find new ideas to make things better, faster, or greater. They tend to have a non-linear thought line and don’t look for obvious solutions.
The Optimizer
Optimizers are people who like to focus on creating small and continuous improvements. You could call them people who like to “tinker” with things. They build little by little by making continuous and gradual improvements. When trying to figure out your personal development style, the innovator may come across as the more exciting style but, the optimizer style often has more consistent levels of success.
As mentioned before, it’s best to know what each personal development style holds before you can really pinpoint which style best fits for you. Each person will have a different personal development style so it’s important to understand how each fits in your life before focusing all your energy on one specific style.
