Which one better fits for you?

1) Linear-Active to Multi-Active
2) Multi-Active to Reactive
3) Reactive to Linear-Active

I wonder why Poland is together with France closer to Multi-Active red top of triangle. Maybe it is our temper, but... why Russia is together with Slavakia? I never heard that Slovaks are more tempered than Poles lol

I think I'm reactive, slightly leaning to linear-active which doesn't make sense for my background interestingly.

Agree. Slovaks are definitely not more tempered than Poles :D that chart is a little bit wrong.

That chart doesn't make sense other than displaying a bullshit anglocentric view of things: the noble ones (UK-US-Germany) in the blue corner, the messy Latins in the red angle, the unreliable Asians in the yellow corner...
But Slavs don't fit in that scheme. See how Russian, Poles, Slovenians are divided between non-contiguous circles. And where would they put Croatians?....

Cool typology, I'd say Linear-Active to Reactive actually, probably where Canada is, or on the Linear-Active to Multi-active, probably between the US and Australia

Agreed, when I look at this I feel like this is just a chart that shows how all the different countries/members of countries act in some American movie where stereotypes are emphasized to the fullest extent possible; ie, not consistent with reality at all.

This chart is even more ludicrous than the previous one.
Now, the Bulgarians are located along with Iran between Iraq and Pakistan but are the polar opposites of Russians?
Who can take that seriously?
Mr Lewis makes a living with such demented ramblings?

Why should Bulgaria be close to Russia? On the other hand being close to Turkey - as well as closer to Greece than to Russia - makes sense for them.

Linear-Active to Multi-Active. Very fascinating to see.
