How to understand people
Recognize different personality types. You will be able to understand people better if you evaluate what type of personality they seem to have.
Figuring out what type of person they are will help you understand why they say and do certain things.
It will also help you understand how to interact with them in a way that works for both of you (or to your advantage). There are several different theories of personality, many of which have years of research supporting them.
