Personal tendencies: open, sensual, emotional, and indulgent. He is one of the artists according to Cressy's theory of moods. The percentage of performers, according to a study conducted on a sample of the American population, ranges between 4-9%.
Overview of the performer's personality:
The performer's main state is external, through which he deals with matters and deals with them using his five senses or with the tangible appearance. The secondary state is internal, where he deals with things according to his feelings about them or how they integrate with his value system. The performer lives in a world of possibilities around people. He loves people and new experiences. He is full of fun and energy, and loves to be the center of attention. The performer lives in the moment and enjoys the excitement and events that occur in his life.
The performer has a very strong personality, and often finds himself in the position of solving problems between individuals in his surroundings. Because he uses his emotions to make decisions, he is usually sympathetic to people's feelings, comfort, and happiness. He is a caring and generous person. The performer has a great ability to understand people's feelings, which will help him know what is bothering someone before anyone else notices it, and he will respond to that person with compassion and suggest a solution to his problem. The performer may not be the best person to give advice, as he does not like theories or future planning, but he is definitely the best person to give care and attention.
Certainly, the performer is a spontaneous and optimistic person. He likes to enjoy his life. If the performer does not develop the rational thinking side of his personality, he will only search for his momentary pleasures, and will focus on the immediate satisfaction of his needs instead of focusing on his duties and obligations. It may also mean that he thinks about the consequences of his actions when he performs them.
For the performer, the whole world is a big stage. He likes to be the center of attention and perform for people. From time to time, a performer performs a show to entertain people and make them happy. The performer loves to stimulate people's senses, and he is very good at it. He loves nothing more than for life to be one of continuous celebrations, and for him to be the host and presenter.
The performer loves people, and people feel the same way. The greatest quality given to a performer is that he is accepted by all kinds of people. He is optimistic, enthusiastic and unique like most people. The performer is sincerely affectionate and generous with his friends. However, when someone wrongs the performer, the performer will judge him and be stubborn and forceful in his judgment. He is capable of hating intensely in that situation.
When a performer is under pressure, he feels confused and is haunted by negative thoughts and possibilities. Like any optimistic person, he tries to get rid of these negative thoughts and possibilities quickly. In his attempt to expel these thoughts, the performer comes up with a simple sentence or idea that explains and clarifies the problem. This sentence may not actually explicitly address the problem, but it helps the performer get past those negative thoughts.
The performer is likely to be a very practical person, although he dislikes order and routine. He prefers to go with the flow, and is confident in his ability to improvise in any situation he encounters. He learns better by directing and doing more than by reading writing or listening to an explanation of a theory. He does not feel comfortable with pure theories. If the performer does not develop the thinking and intuition side of his personality, he will tend to avoid dealing with situations that require a lot of thinking and theorizing, or that are complex and ambiguous. For this reason, the performer may find it difficult to study at school. On the other hand, the performer will learn quickly and well when it is in a way that requires him to interact with others, or when he is taught by doing.
The performer has a very developed sense of art and beauty, and a good sense of space and business. If circumstances allow him, he will own many beautiful works of art, and he will furnish his home in a wonderful and innovative way. In general, the performer has a great appreciation for artistic objects, but also for other things in life such as delicious food or drink.
The performer is a constructive element in the work team. It's not likely to cause problems or cause a fuss, but rather it's more likely to provide a fun working environment for the entire team that helps them get the job done. A performer excels when his job requires him to use interpersonal skills, and also when he is asked to transform ideas into a working system. Because he is active and enthusiastic, he will prefer to work in centers that contain a lot of diversity in addition to the need to use his communication skills with people.
The Performer likes to feel that they have strong connections with people, and unlike most personality types, the Performer loves to socialize with pets and young children. He is also likely to appreciate the beauty of nature as well.
The performer loves life and knows how to enjoy it. He will also be happy to lead people to the same happiness. The performer is flexible, quick to adapt to the environment, cares deeply about people, and is often kind-hearted. He has a special ability to enjoy life, but he must be aware of the problems that may come in the future, as he lives only for his moment.
Performer as husband/wife:
The performer expresses and deals with his marital relationship as strongly as he deals with the rest of his life's activities. He loves to live in love and enjoy every moment. But he lives his life day by day, and may not feel comfortable planning for the future or making long-term plans. Therefore, he may find it difficult to adhere to the requirements of marriage in the beginning.
The problem of commitment and commitment to a relationship may be one of the biggest problems for a performer. But many performers overcome this problem when they recognize and confront its existence, and the performer then commits to a lifelong marital relationship. In contrast, a performer who does not recognize that he has this problem may not succeed in marriage and live his life as a bachelor, convincing himself that this is the right way for his life.
In some cases, the performer is materialistic and immersed in thinking about what people think about him. The performer must be aware of this, so as not to spoil his relationship because some personality types cannot express their thoughts about the performer clearly and easily.
The performer does not handle conflicts and disagreements well. He takes disagreements very personally, viewing them as self-accusation. His reactions to the dispute may be in the form of hurtful phrases or words towards his wife, and the performer will wish to withdraw them and retract them later. One of the best things a performer can do for himself is if he views criticism as constructive and that its intention is to improve the relationship, not the other way around. If he can listen to criticism without feeling that it is a personal threat to him, he will have come a long way toward improving the relationship and its health.
The performer is frank and clear when communicating with his spouse. He says things directly, surprising to some, and sometimes unintentionally harsh. He also likes for his husband to communicate with him, frankly and clearly. The performer hates theory and abstraction, and often misunderstands the message if it is not realistic and clear. Discussing the past or future is not something the performer prefers to talk about, and in fact the performer will postpone consideration of any statement in the future tense. When he discovers that the discussion is not about a topic related to the present time, he will lose interest in the topic and the discussion.
In general, the performer is a caring personality, generous and giving to people, with very few requests and needs from his wife. He only wants happiness, and to bring happiness to people's lives. The performer is energetic and loved by everyone, and he will flood the marital relationship with social relationships, experiences and adventures that will give marital life another flavor.
Although any relationship between people of the 16 classifications may be successful, the performer's natural partner or spouse is: the Inspector (ISTJ) or the Defender (ISFJ).
Performer as parent:
Going with the flow and loving to enjoy time are two characteristics of the performer that will extend to the lives of his children. The performer is a caring and loving father or mother who gives a lot of care to his children.
The performer will not find it difficult to express love and affection to his children, but he may face a problem in setting systems and creating an organized environment for them, and he may depend a lot on his husband in this process. In general, the performer believes that too many regulations in people's lives is not a healthy thing, and therefore the performer will most likely not impose regulations or punish his children. If this is apparent in the performer and he does not try to amend it, and the performer’s husband does not compensate for that absence, then this will inevitably lead to a problem in the family. Children need someone to impose order on them, raise them, and show them right from wrong.
The performer is practical and concerned with his daily needs, and is usually good at providing daily care and care for children. Despite the performer's approach to life, which is often active and full of exciting events, he is very good at dealing with several things at the same time, which means he is able to take care of children even in a large family.
The performer finds it difficult to cope with the task of leadership, preferring to be a friend to the son rather than a leader. However, he expects his children to treat him with respect and appreciation and obey his commands, and he will assume a leadership and fatherly role at times. This change may be frustrating for “strict” children, as they do not know what to expect from a performing father.
The children remember their father, the performer, as loving, kind, optimistic, and loved to have fun, even though he was sometimes distracted.
Performer as friend:
The performer is very enthusiastic and energetic. He is often loved by many people, because people are naturally attracted to the performer without any effort on his part. The performer gets joy and enjoyment through the adventures and events that he experiences in his life, and nothing brings joy to his heart like taking a crowd of people with him into the atmosphere of one of the adventures or those events. The performer tries to turn every day into a celebration, and he often succeeds in doing so.
People appreciate the performer for his ability to create a beautiful atmosphere from any moment, his kindness and sincere concern for people. The performer gets along with all personality types of people, but he is not interested in people he finds boring, or who speak to the performer on a high intellectual or intuitive/imaginative level. Some people don't like the performer's always enjoying life style, they see him as indifferent. Others do not like the frankness and directness of the performer in speaking, and they see it as obscene. The performer will most likely enjoy spending his time with “extroverts” and “emotional people,” although he will reserve a special place in his heart for people of any other classification.

Enhancing the performer's strengths:
Your personality is superior to other personalities in a number of aspects. Knowing these points, and focusing on them and developing them, will help you stand out and excel over your peers. Performers will notice these qualities in themselves, which they should focus on and nurture:

- The skill of enjoyment and entertainment will not become for him devoid of achieving personal interests and returns.
- He will be able to observe and enhance the skills of others.
Expected problems for the performer:
Most of the problems that a performer is expected to have stem from his social feeling overwhelming the rest of his personality characteristics, and some of these characteristics may appear on him:
- He may be seen as being unnecessarily rude in his behavior and personal choices.
- He may not see or give weight to the interests and needs of others.
- He may perceive any type of criticism when directed at him as a conspiracy to spoil his enjoyment and life.
- He may not be able to correctly perceive the feelings of others.
- He may blame the problems he faces on the world as a whole, and see himself as the hero who fights against all odds.
- He may become arrogant and narcissistic to the point that he is unable to see the damage he has caused to the feelings of others.
- He may use an inappropriate expressive style just to convey an idea to the community.
- He may become arrogant in his comments on the tastes and ways of dressing of others.
- He may communicate with others in an arrogant and arrogant manner.
- He may feel extremely stressed and exhausted when faced with an issue that requires careful thought and study before making a decision.
To overcome these points, you must understand yourself better, and allow the rational and logical thinking system to grow within you. To better understand the world around you, you need to ensure that your views are not threatened when you try to look at them objectively. Always remind yourself that when you find a conflict between what you want to do and what reason and logic dictate to you, this does not mean that you are wrong and that with your thinking you have created a checklist for yourself. On the contrary, you have come to understand the world and the situation better.
