What are the Bender Personality types?
The Bender Temperament, according to Linda Berens and Dario Nardi, who developed the concept, is made up of four distinct patterns:
The Harmony-driven “Amiable” (the Promoter) The People-pleasing “Expressive” (the Motivator) The Rule/fact-driven “Stabilizer” (the Administrator) The Perfectionist “Examiner” (the Critic).
Each of these patterns seeks a different balance between autonomy and connection. Each print has an associated stress response resulting from feeling unsafe or threatened by expressing too much independence or having too little independence. Each pattern also has a specific way of responding to feeling safe and secure as a typical expression for how they are most comfortable interacting with others.
