Im not sure how faimilar most of you are with these. If I am being redundant, forgive me but I dont hear anyone talk about these like they do the sexual attitudes so here it goes.
Gulenko identified the four styles of communication; business-like, sincere, passionate and coldblooded.
Description
Businesslike - This is the stereotypical male style of communication. Active communication of practical actions, they communicate through the " i do something for you, you do something for me" attitude. This is sterotypical role of male who through his actions rescues or woes a female.
Types: ENTp, ESTp, ENTj, ESTj
Sincere - This is the stereotypical female style of communication. Opposite to the male style, passive expectation of action on the part of their partner. This is the sterotypical role of a female who expects to be rescues or seduced by an action seeking male.
Types: ISFp, INFp, ISFj, INFj
Passionate - Active communication of emotions, expect emotional response on the part of their partner. Will actively demonstrate feelings and emotions. This style is too active to be a stereotypcial female style, but too emotional to be a sterotypical male style also. It has been termed "warmblooded".
Types: ESFj, ENFj, ESFp, ENFp
Coldblooded - Passive expectation of feelings from their partner. Expect partner to show emotions. See communication as a tranmission of information rather than emotion or action of any sort.
Types; INTj, ISTj, INTp, ISTp
I could post links too but I cant find them right now.
So what do you think? Do you think the description fits you? Do you indentify with your style of communication?
