The Realistic Personality

Realistic describes an individual who is a thing/body person. Realistic individuals like to use their hands/eyes to explore things and achieve. These are people who are stable, frank, active and like athletics or mechanical activities. They prefer to work with things like machines, tools, objects, plants, and animals and tend to be down-to-earth and practical.

Realistic individuals are capable and confident when using their bodies to relate to the physical world. They focus on things, learn through their hands and eyes to explore and achieve, and have little need for conversation. They are often good in emergencies because of their ability with physical objects. Their ability to deal with the physical world often makes them very independent, practical minded, strong, well coordinated, aggressive, and conservative. Realistic people enjoy risk, excitement, being outdoors, concrete problems, money, and like working with tools, machinery, objects, plants and animals. They express themselves and achieve primarily through their bodies rather than through words, thoughts, and feelings. Realistic people sometimes get so absorbed with getting things right that they can forget about everything else. These individuals prefer concrete rather than abstract problems and solve problems by doing something physical.
