INDIVIDUAL
ABILITIES AND PERSONALIES
Once your focus group has been in operation for a while
you may be able to use these role lists to identify the type of role you and
the other group members fulfil. Each
role fits a particular set of individual abilities and personality. For example:
Shaper:
may be dynamic and extrovert. Has
positive qualities of drive and fearlessness in confronting ineffectiveness but may be liable to irritation and
impatience.
Plant:
may be serious, individualistic, unorthodox.
Has positive qualities of creativity and intelligence but may be impractical, or ignore
practical considerations.
Monitor/Evaluator:
serious, calm and careful, with good judgement and objectivity but may not be imaginative, or good at
inspiring others.
Company Worker:
a predictable, conservative person, hardworking, self-disciplined and has
common sense; but may be inflexible
and unresponsive to new ideas.
Team Worker:
works well with others, adapting to them, and committed to the group; but will wait for others to take the
lead, even in emergencies.
Resource Investigator:
good at communicating, outgoing and curious.
Good at making contacts and discoveries, but can lose interest quickly.
Completer/Finisher:
good at detail, conscientious and very focused; but perfectionism may bring anxiety and stubbornness.
Chairman:
self-confident and socially skilled; calm and friendly; but does not have to be highly intelligent or creative, provided is
skilled at involving everyone in the group.
