“I” kind of people are the socially active individuals in our lives who focus on people and interactions, usually at the expense of performing tasks.
These are the people who are the main attraction at a party. They enjoy being on the stage and are never at their best, but are rarely task-focused.
They are Keith Ferrazzi’s (author of Never Eat Alone) of this world, The Ronald Reagans, the Ronald Reagans, and the Bette Midler’s. They are awestruck by the way they talk and get involved and are often volunteers on committees that have numerous gatherings and outings or for committees that organize social groups.
While it may seem like they’re too hungover for being productive as a group, They are vital components of any team. They act as the glue that binds all the members of the group. They create an exciting atmosphere that brings people together and makes them feel part of the team. They’re susceptible to other people and are able to read the emotions of team members more than any other team member.

If you’re an I-type personality, Your biggest problem is to remain focused on the task that is in front of you and not focus on the people in your immediate vicinity. You should be mindful of managing your time as it’s all too easy to waste your time chatting with friends instead of working productively. But, you must be in a way that lets you be in contact with others because your interpersonal skills and ability are crucial for any team.
If you’re the manager of an I, you must be aware of these issues and create an engaging and comfortable environment for Is to work within. Always start with an enjoyable note prior to diving into the task at hand. Help the Is to manage their time and time.
If you adhere to these fundamental guidelines, your interactions with I-type people are much more enjoyable and significantly more efficient!
