There are many different classifications for the personality of someone, whether that is by zodiac sign, Myers-Briggs personality types, etc.

I believe there is a much simpler way to classify people and that is by a hands person, head person, or heart person. For me, understanding what kind of person someone is helps me understand how to treat them and be the best friend to them that I can be.

Hands Person:

This is the person that always has to be doing something. They are hands on and productive all the time. For a hand person, they don’t feel worthy if they have been unproductive. The "hand" people in my life try to make be feel better by keeping me occupied and keeping my mind off things. A few friends of mine are hand people and they are the type that gets assigned a project and it’s done the next day.

Head Person:

A "head" person tends to think logically about situations. They are analytical about emotions and think more rationally. I am definitely a head person. When I see someone upset or going through something, I think about the steps that need to be taken to help them. Being a head person, I can sometimes be less empathic when dealing with people because I think about what they should do instead of empathizing with them.

Heart Person:

A "heart" person is the most sympathetic of the three. They are the ones that empathize the best with the people around them. One of my best friends is a heart person and she is one of the best listeners I know. Whenever I need to talk about something, she is there to hear me talk about anything and makes me think about what to do based on my emotions. This is good for me as a head person because it makes me realize that not everything I do should be based on logic.

Analyzing the different types of people and how they deal with situations allows us as humans to be more understanding of the people around us.

So, what type are you?
