Did you know that the type of video conference you choose can tell a lot about your personality? Auditory, visual, kinesthetic and digital personalities reveal themselves when visiting unified messaging. Learn to determine the type of personality you are talking to when using collaboration tools!

To explain the different types of perception of the world around us, psychologists have defined four types of personalities: auditory, visual, kinesthetic, and digital. The present-day video conference programs, in which live chat is not the only means of communications, enable people of all types of personalities to express themselves. CommFort is one of the applications that are happily used for video conferences not only by auditory and kinesthetic personalities, but by visual and digital ones as well.

Video conferencing for auditory and visual personalities

For auditory personalities voice communications are the most comfortable. People of this type grasp information well by ear – they are better at remembering things and perceiving them if someone tells them about it. Even in a video conference using a text chat auditory personalities will reveal themselves by such remarks as: “Listen”, “What I’d like to say…”, and “Do you understand what I am saying?”

Visual personalities, on the contrary, take in visual information better. Verbally, visual personalities reveal themselves by such turns of phrase as “Look here”, “I noticed”, “As I see it”, and “Upon reflection.” Naturally, visual personalities are more inclined to use video chat programs for video conferences. By looking at the gestures and facial expressions of the people they are talking to, visual personalities understand them better and derive more pleasure from the communication.

For both types of personalities a video conference using the CommFort Collaboration Tools is the right solution. The auditory personalities can appreciate being able to use telephony or the VoIP phone for a video conference, while the visual personalities can certainly relish the option of using CommFort as a video chat program.

How kinesthetic and digital personalities reveal themselves in unified messaging

Kinesthetic (tactile) personalities are people who perceive the world by touch, while digital personalities are more inclined to a logical evaluation of the environment – they prefer to receive maximum information before making a decision. Notwithstanding, kinesthetic and digital personalities use unified messaging just as often as visual and auditory personalities.

Verbally, kinesthetic personalities more often than others use such descriptions as “warm”, “soft”, “light.” Their comments, just as those of visual personalities are often full of imagery. Kinesthetic personalities will most likely enjoy such Collaboration Tools as CommFort because it has an option to add images to a text chat. After all, this enables kinesthetic personalities to share a part of their world, even if it is digital. It might be that a kinesthetic personality will be interested in CommFort as a video conference program.

Digital personalities like to line up logical connections and rely on facts, their favorite lead-in words are: “It follows”, “As far as I know.” For digital personalities it is precisely the text unified messaging that mean so much – it is always easier to express logical inferences in words. However, beginning a live chat simply by text, a digital personality may soon resort to other means of expression: to file transfer, for example, or to showing photos in chat. Such options enable digital personalities to support their position and gain followers from among the visual personalities.
