Fourth Quadrant – Implementer

If your profile falls most strongly in the fourth quadrant, your dominant style is likely to be Implementer. This person tends to use direct experience and evaluation in problem solving. His/Her greatest interest lies in getting things done, carrying out plans and experiments and becoming involved in new experiences. They tend to ”try things out” rather than ”mentally test”. Implementers tend to excel in those situations where they must adapt themselves to specific immediate circumstances and ”make things work somehow”. A complete understanding is not necessary for this person to proceed. Thus, he/she may be more of a risk taker than people with the other three styles. In situations where the theory does not fit the facts, they will mostly likely discard the theory. Implementers are enthusiastic and at ease with people, but are sometimes seen as impatient or even ”pushy” as they try to make plans and ideas into realities. They will try as many different approaches as necessary until they find one that is sufficiently acceptable to those people affected. They will ”follow-up” and ”bird-dog” as necessary to ensure the new procedure will ”stick”. This quadrant suggests interests in Gaining Acceptance and Implementation.
