> Yes, the case could be that reality is really tragic and that Serious Style people lack the 'positive distortion' of more superficial styles like Dramatic Style. Every style has something to contribute and is good at something and because of that also 'dumb' at other things. The world would be better if people either accepted themselves or other people more as they are and not on how others have to be (often taking our own personal standards as the target of personal development). The teamrole theory of Meredith Belbin is very good because of this basic axiom.

Hello Jan:
You have set forth a very common sense approach. You notice that I did not say obvious, since most people seem to miss that point anyway! I like to remind people about personality types and styles; you try to use your strong points, and avoid the problems of your weaknesses/blindspots....
We all would like to have strenghts of other styles, types, etc, but of course keeping the things we like about oursleves, that we already have.... Rich
