Written by Jeremiah Carstarphen
The choleric personality type makes up roughly 15% of the population. This article will discuss the strengths, weaknesses, how to recognize, and the most effective way to communicate with this personality type.
Choleric personality types are symbolized by the Red Shark because they are aggressive, competitive, and they will try to eat you alive if you approach them wrong.
Choleric personality types are often leaders of organizations, company CEO’s, or bosses, because they like giving orders and telling other people what to do, but they hate being told what to do.
