I can recognise your personality type by your coffee! Don't believe it? Open the door of the company kitchen and you will soon find out! I would ask you, however, to keep a little distance, and it is possible that you use your other types when making coffee. But let's give it a try!
I can see that you are familiar with the Italian coffee-drinking tradition, considered to be the one that sets the world standard for coffee. You know that it is ridiculous to drink a cappuccino after 11am, and that espresso should be drunk quickly, in two or three sips, and standing up. You're probably most likely to drink your coffee in a traditional cup, preferably one that has some history, chipped an ear with a fall from your grandmother's table, or has been hand-crafted in a local workshop (after all, local businesses are worth supporting!). I conclude that you are an Unstoppable.
Ah, the delight of smell, taste and aroma! So many notes, so different for each type of coffee. You are captivated by the texture of the milk foam. You add unusual additions: perhaps flower petals, syrup or a touch of honey. You will not only make a cup of this delicious drink for yourself, but also for your co-workers, of course, everyone exactly the way they like it. There's a good chance you could be described as an Empath.
Did you actually make yourself a coffee today? Do you remember? You know you've been in the kitchen, but your thoughts have been focused on ceramics. How is it that dishes are made from clay? What if clay didn't exist? Would the cups be wooden, leather, or maybe just glass...? Your thoughts ran on, and the topic of coffee disappeared somewhere in space. Do you have that too? You are most likely a Dreamer.
You made yourself a coffee as soon as you entered the office. Any kind, as long as the caffeine worked quickly and effectively. The coffee turned out to be too hot to drink straight away, so you carried it back to the office. In order not to waste time, you called the client while waiting for the coffee to cool down. And it did cool. However, it stayed on the countertop, cold, abandoned... Because, as an Activist, you are already somewhere else, in your third, fifth, twelfth meeting of the day, and you no longer remember the coffee you made that morning, quietly waiting on your desk.
You enter the company kitchen at 10.30 a.m. sharp, which is when the coffee break starts. You brew it the same way every time: take a 200 ml mug, pour in 2 level teaspoons of loose coffee, 1 heaping tablespoon of sugar, pour in 100°C water to ¾ the height of the mug, and top up with 3.2% fat cold milk. Sound familiar? You are an Analyst.
A different coffee every day, experiments, risks - those who don't take risks don't drink champagne! Once you like a cup of coffee, you're happy to drink it, the next day it turns out to be awful and you throw it down the sink with a loud "boo"! The important thing is to drink coffee with someone, make a joke, have a chat - after all, that's what a coffee break is supposed to be about. This is the way the Rebel characterises itself.
The PCM model (Communication Model® process) is widely used in business, recruitment, as well as in private life👫It was built as a professional tool to describe a person's czł personality in multiple layers. It is designed to facilitate interpersonal communication, understanding one's needs and motivations, building collaborative teams and responding effectively in stressful situations. It is used by well-known global brands such as BMW, Apple and Pixar, as well as many educational and governmental organisations🌍
I invite you to expand your knowledge of the Process Communication Model! I will be publishing a series of posts guiding you through the basic issues. The PCM model is a holistic concept - it has its own specific language and terms, one issue follows from another. So I encourage you to read the next articles in the series and add more to the knowledge you already have. In the next post, I look at how to keep a calendar, depending on which personality type you are, bearing in mind that we can use different floors for different tasks! Which floor do you use when keeping a calendar? Check here.
