Role
Praise giver
You enjoy telling a partner how well they are doing.
A Praise giver enjoys encouraging a partner out loud: telling them they are doing well, that they are wanted, that you are pleased. Watching the words land is the reward.
Signs you might lean this way
- You naturally say what you like about someone
- A partner glowing at a compliment is rewarding
- You use encouragement to guide
How the test scores it
Your Praise giver score comes from how much these three statements appeal to you:
- Telling a partner how well they are doing
- Watching a partner glow when I praise them
- Using encouragement and approval to guide a partner
The other side: Praise receiver
Praise giver pairs with Praise receiver. You light up when a partner praises you. The two are scored separately, and it is common to score well on both.
Talking about it
Ask which words mean the most to them. Praise that is specific and sincere lands far better than praise by rote.
