Relationships and Marriage: A Perceptual Styles Perspective
The Perceptual Styles Theory (PST) describes six distinct ways that different people see the world, what they value, and how they communicate, so—as one of the originators of this psychological theory—it’s only natural that people often ask me which style would make the best match for them in a romantic relationship. Alas, the mysteries of love are too deep for any one factor... (posted by Gary 348 days 14 hours ago.)

Business and Communication: Almost, but Not Quite
The six Perceptual Styles describe six psychologically unique ways of perceiving the world. The theory behind Perceptual Styles states that certain Styles are more similar than others. These “neighboring styles” may use similar types of language, but that doesn’t mean they mean the same thing. While Styles that are polar opposites are usually aware of differences in communication, the... (posted by Gary 1 year 51 days ago.)

Business Development: What is Perceptual Styles Theory? And How Does It Work?
Being a lifelong student of human behavior, I've always been interested in understanding the differences between people, including what they value, the way they see the world, the conclusions they draw, and the actions they take. Psychological style theories offer the explanation that everyone falls into distinct groups with distinctly different worldviews. These theories... (posted by Gary 1 year 87 days ago.)

In Malcolm Gladwell's latest book , Outliers , the author writes: "Western communication has what linguists call a "transmitter orientation" that is, it is considered the responsibility of the speaker to communicate ideas clearly and unambiguously. . . But Korea , like many Asian countries, is receiver oriented. It is up to the listener to make sense of what is being... (posted by Gary 1 year 119 days ago.)
