The description associated with these styles was exactly how I perceived myself. Accommodative individuals are individuals whose strengths lie in carrying out plans and experiments and engaging in new experiences. They take risks and excel in situations requiring quick decisions and adaptations. In situations where a theory or plan doesn't match the facts, they tend to discard it and try something else. They often solve problems instinctively through trial and error, relying heavily on others for information. They are easy to get along with people but sometimes seen as impatient. Their training is often in practical areas such as business. They have a preference for professions such as teaching, marketing or sales.
