The 6 Personality Types According to PCM
Recognizing and Leveraging Differences in Communication
Discover the best in yourself and in others.
PCM distinguishes six personality types that we all possess. Our individual personality architecture combines all of these types—but what matters most is their unique expression and order.
Get to know everyone and discover how to build connections and make the most of your differences. That’s how you can make a real difference for yourself and others—in small ways and big ways, every day.

We're not just one type or one color. We all have all personality types within us.
In the Process Communication Model®, we don’t talk about types of people, but rather about personality types that exist within every person. Everyone embodies all six types—in a unique combination. Every type is valid. No type is better, smarter, or more important than any other.
The key difference lies in what drives us, which psychological needs we want to satisfy, and how we prefer to communicate. When you recognize these differences, it becomes easier to connect with others, motivate them, and avoid misunderstandings.
Use PCM not only to recognize differences but also to leverage them as strengths. That’s how you make a difference for yourself and others. Every day.
