Passion people speak the language of relationship. 

Their ability to forge relationships builds wide networks, both socially and professionally. At a cocktail party, standing in line, they effortlessly strike up conversations with whoever happens to be next to them. Do you see one nearby? Just look for the life of the party.

(Does this sound like anyone you know?)

Approachable and gregarious, they usually build rapport with prospects, customers, and colleagues, which allows them to excel in positions that require strong interpersonal skills.

These social butterflies express themselves with animated facial expressions, body language, and vocal intonation. In pitches and presentations, this helps them add emphasis to the points they are making. Their expressive style keeps people focused and engaged.

As part of a team, they’re often cheerleaders to keep everyone involved along the way. Once they become buoyant supporters of a cause, they can be hard to resist. Their enthusiasm can build energetic participation.

  • This is the college buddy who never met a stranger.
  • It’s the co-worker who walks over to your office to talk in person, rather than emailing from the cubicle down the hall.
  • It’s the presenter who lights up the room with dramatic gestures.
  • It’s the Girl Scout who shows up at your door selling cookies, with a big smile and irresistible sales pitch.
  • It’s the receptionist who gives warm eye contact. The customer service rep who empathizes with your plight.

Passion personalities are usually great in roles such as human resources and marketing. They bring the human element to everything they touch.
