Hyötypuolen

Hyötypuolen is a fictional personality typing system developed by Finnish psychiatrist Edvin Heimler. Created in the 1930s, it aims to categorize individuals into one of five distinctive personality groups. Each group is characterized by specific traits, with the goal of providing insight into a person's behavior, strengths, and weaknesses.

According to Heimler, the five personality types are divided based on a combination of factors such as mood, emotions, and thought patterns. The types are defined as follows:

* Dictator: considered to be relatively rare, individuals with this type are described as being authoritative and commanding, often with a tendency towards anger.

* Mediator: known for their diplomatic nature, mediators are expected to act as peacekeepers and objectively assess situations.

* Sentinal: characterized by stability and reliability, sentinals are seen as leaders who maintain order and consistency.

* Skepter: often skeptical and questioning, this type is said to have a naturally inquisitive nature.

* Laisser: known for their open-mindedness and receptiveness, individuals with this type are expected to be adaptable and positive.

Hyötypuolen gained some popularity in Finland during the mid-20th century, particularly among educators and psychologists. However, the system remains relatively unknown globally and is not considered a mainstream personality typing system.
