The following subsections describe a few of the personality types I??™ve encountered
in my travels. Yes, this is armchair psychology. Yes, no one person fits neatly into one of
these categories. Yes, this is simplistic.
The point is to give you a place to start, so you can take personality traits into
account when attempting disaster recovery planning (or when living as a social being).
You may disagree with my categories; you may have your own observations. If so, excellent!
That means you??™re considering the subject in general. I??™m not expecting everyone to
agree with me, nor do I want anyone to take this as gospel. Everyone??™s situation is different,
so all I ask is that you take something from this discussion and make it your own.
nNote The personality types described in the following sections could apply to a person, a group,
a department, or perhaps even the entire company. Also, everyone displays traits from more than one
type. While reading, it may occur to you that I exhibit traits from at least three or four of these personality
categories.

The perfectionist is perhaps the most difficult personality type to identify.
