Dr. Natarajan was working as the Medical Director of a busy hospital. He had a spacious office with good interiors. But somehow the place did not look impressive. There were pictures of different Gods hanging on the walls. On one side there was a collage depicting photographs of some family function. On his table, Natarajan had kept a laminated photograph of his three children. On one side of his table lay a tipoy which had small curios like a big shell, small wooden box, small Ganesha idol, brass boat etc.
It is possible to know a lot about the personality, assertiveness, spiritedness and communication behaviour of an individual by observing the non-living objects displayed at the office or cabin. Different individuals depict different items based on their intrinsic nature. These items vary from calendars, planners, personal items, personal slogans, patriotic slogans to graphs, awards or motivational posters. From these objects, we can more or less accurately guess the degree of assertiveness and spiritedness within them. Assertiveness is the degree to which a person’s behaviour is forceful or directive. It is aimed at taking control in a situation. Spiritedness is the degree to which a person’s behaviour is emotionally responsive or demonstrative with gestures, facial expressions and body language. These two dimensions produce four different styles or personalities depending on which of these two aspects predominate. These individuals can be driver (leader or motivator), expressive amiable or analytical. | Style | Assertiveness | Spiritedness |
| Driver |  |  |
| Expressive | | |
