Realists (the Do-ers)

• The Realistic types of people have earned the nickname as the “doers” because they are frequently drawn to problem-solving tasks. They tend to value very practical things that are based in reality such as things that you can see and touch right in front of you. Plants, animals, tools and mechanics are very comfortable subjects of study for the doers as they are clearly defined objects that are easily observable. As such, they tend to prefer working with things rather than people and value the outdoors and nature in their work.

• As a friend you might describe the Realistic type as reliable, down to earth, sensible and practical. These doers also tend to be more adventurous and physically strong than others because they feel very comfortable using their bodies to explore the world. While they are very cautious and reserved, typically, you won’t find them missing out on activities because of these things. Instead, they use their cautious nature in order to better explore the world.

• As a Realistic type, yourself, you might describe yourself as persistent, self-reliant, handy and practical. Things tend to appear very simple, as well, to you as most things have a clear solution or explanation. If something does not have a clear solution or explanation then you might find yourself avoiding it altogether as a Realistic person.

• This type of person seeks out friends that also have these qualities, as they don’t have the patience or understanding for nonsensical behavior. They gravitate toward people that demonstrate common sense, dependability and practicality. Because of their typically quiet nature, however, you may not hear them complain too loudly in the face of disorder.
