Idealists As Abstract Cooperators, Idealists speak mostly of what they hope for and imagine might be possible for people, and they want to act in good conscience, always trying to reach their goals without compromising their personal code of ethics. More about Idealists (Click Here)
Artisans As Concrete Utilitarians, Artisans speak mostly about what they see right in front of them, about what they can get their hands on, and they will do whatever works, whatever gives them a quick, effective payoff, even if they have to bend the rules. More about Artisans (Click Here)
Rationals As Abstract Utilitarians, Rationals speak mostly of what new problems intrigue them and what new solutions they envision, and always pragmatic, they act as efficiently as possible to achieve their objectives, ignoring arbitrary rules and conventions if need be. More about Rationals (Click Here)
Guardians As Concrete Cooperators, Guardians speak mostly of their duties and responsibilities, of what they can keep an eye on and take good care of, and they're careful to obey the laws, follow the rules, and respect the rights of others. More about Guardians (Click Here)

Sniper/Guilt Master Traits/Methods - Snide remarks, double meaning, rumors, labeling, quick to lay blame. Goals - “Scoring” without being seen, shifting blame, lowering others self-esteem to elevate their own. Passive-aggressive behavior. Techniques to defuse - Take away their camouflage.

Isolate them, tell them you intend them to confront them in the future, give them alternative ways to approach you.
Nay Sayers Traits/Methods - “I can’t”, nothing works, never supplies solution, constant questioning of rules and procedures, brings up negatives in all proposals.
