Type of Personality

First let us discuss two type of personality we find normally:

1. Proactive
2. Reactive  

And both of them are very extreme character. Proactive peoples think less before doing something, they don't have the patience to plan, estimate or predict a plan of action in detail. They just do the things which appeal them. They take risk and think out of the box. So they become rich in very short period of time and also can lose money very quickly. They can actually initiate a big concept.

Reactive people wait for other to initiate and when the situation is right they act. They want to fully understand and asses before they act. They take lots of time waiting. Some people may get upset as they take so much of time to get start. They are good analyst.
