The Nine Types (Classes) of People in a Gathering

1. The Eager Beaver-

He or she is an individual who is

always enthusiastic and seemingly active in an audience. He is

an individual who has many good ideas which can help other

people in a group or audience, if the ideas are adopted.

However, he is more theoretical than practical. When other

people are ready to implement his ideas, for instance, coming

early to church for prayers, he comes late!

2. The Talker-.

He or she likes sitting at the back seat in a

gathering. He does not want to be heard or seen. He likes

murmuring, when the speaker is still addressing the gathering.

He is never bold enough to speak out his mind. He normally

asks his seat-mate to ask questions or speak out on his behalf.

3. The Distracter-

He or she likes drawing the attention of

the listeners unnecessarily by either sneezing or dragging his

chair. His main aim is to annoy or irritate the listeners and divert

their attention from what the speaker is saying. In most cases, he is a rude person. He does not respect the audience and the

speaker.

4. The Superior Being-

He or she is a person who purports

to know everything. He is a 'know-all' individual. He likes

dominating the audience or gathering and he is fond of using 'I'

in his speech or opinions.

He believes that his opinions or ideas are better than the

ones of his friends. Even when it is apparent that he is losing,

and that nobody is ready to accept or adopt his ideas, he remains

firm and unchanged in his views.

5. The Attention Seeker-

He is a clown or joker. His main

assignment is to amuse the audience by either, making funny

noises, yawning audibly, or whistling softly. He is a good person who breaks the chain of monotony in the meeting.

6. The Hair Splitter-

He is an individual who is not easy to convince or deal with. He likes betting over minor or petty

issues. Usually, people keep off from him because of his

rigidity.

7. The Sympathy seeker-

He or she is always seeking

sympathy from the group members. He likes lamenting about

how things have not gone well on his side. He receives every

proposal made with a lot of pessimism and negativity. He feels

comforted when people show signs of sympathizing or assisting

him where necessary.

8. The Silent Member-

This is a person whose verbal

contribution is minimal. He is a person of few words. He likes to

remain quiet at all times when other people are expressing

themselves or giving their ideas.

9. The Fence Sitter-

He or she is a person who is always quiet. It is not easy to work or deal with him. He does not express his views but he is always ready to support practically what other people have decided to do.
