| Waltz the Warm-Hearted (tm) |
The Purrsonalities®
from Kimberly West's book, "Why Can't Everyone Be Like Me?" will help you visualize what your personality looks
like!
"Hi, I'm Waltz the Warm-Hearted™
Purrsonality. (Introvert-Feeling) You can call me just Waltz if you like. I was named that because I am flowing,
easy-going, low-key like a waltz dance. I live in the Royal Cottage and I am the Royal Diplomat. I love to have people come
to my house and I like to listen to them. Other people are really important to me and I like to make them happy. I am from
the Family of Introvert and I live near the Feeling Freeway. I am related to actress and Dancing With the Stars celebrity
Jane Seymour and international diplomat Kofi Anin.
In the DiSC®
system I would become an 'S' Steady, in the traditional Greek terms I would be called the Phlegmatic. In other systems I'm
called Golden Retriever, or an Amiable. What ever name you call me, I hope 'friend' is one of them."

| Tango the Thinker (tm) |
Tango (score:400-550) This dance comes from Argentina
and has several variations. All have in common intense, sometimes slow, cautious movements, accentuated by quick rigid body
positions. When you watch them they are focused on each other, looking inward. Just like those introverted, detailed people
we know. They, too are cautious, lower-energy, slow to make decisions, yet intense. There is a lot going on underneath that
cool exterior, they don't show it to just anyone.

"Tango the Thinker™ here. (Introvert-Thinking) I love to work in
my Inventor's Studio with just a few quality projects. If you want it done right, call me. If you want it done right away,
maybe call one of the other Purrsonalities® like Salsa the Supreme.
"I was named Tango because just like
intense tango dancers I am more serious, precise, and love to look 'perfect.' I am usually slow to get to know, but have very
deep thoughts and feelings that I might share with just a few close friends. My relative on Dancing With the Stars is none
other than last year's winner Olympic Gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi and President Barack Obama has traits from my family,
too.
"In the DiSC® system I would become a 'C' Cautious, in the traditional Greek terms, a Melancholy, or an
Analytical."

Swing (score: 600-750) Swing dancers come from the American big band
era. Watching a couple Lindy Hop, East Coast Swing or Jive across the floor is a treat for the eyes and ears! These dancers
whirl, twirl, spin, and hop around the floor like the energizer bunny! And just like people that swing through life it is
easy to identify them by their high energy, laughing smiles, bright colors, and loud movements! They are extroverts like their
salsa brothers and sisters, but swings are much more FUN!

| Swing the Star (tm) |
"Hi! I'm Swing the Star™, (Extrovert-Feeling) the "best"
Purrsonality--not really! All The Purrsonalities® are equally grrreat! Although I do have a preference for a favorite--ME!
I was named Swing because just like swing dances such as the Lindy Hop, I am high-energy, non-stop, and very expressive!
"If you haven't noticed I am the Royal Court Jester and I love my job! You know the world would be a very boring place
without me, so I try to come and bounce into your life as much as you will let me. My cousins are over-the-top TV personality
Kathy Lee Gifford and let's not forget the original bouncing cat--Tigger from Pooh Corner! Influential is the DiSC® term,
and a Sanguine is the Greek term."

Salsa (score: 800-1000) When you watch
salsa dancers the most impressive thing you notice is that you can't help but notice them! With their fiery, intense,
high-energy excitement they command attention. Salsa is a term that encompasses several hot, Latin dances such as the mambo,
merengue, salsa, etc. Just like the people who salsa through life, these dancers can be super extroverted, in-your-face bold,
and very goal focused.
| Salsa the Supreme |
|
"Salsa the Supreme™ reporting for duty! (Extrovert-Thinking) I am
the Royal Builder and General in charge of the Royal Armies to protect all The Purrsonalities®. I don't really have time
to type out all about me because I am the president and captain of many organizations in my community and I'm just too busy.
The bottom line is, I love the bottom line! Donny Deutsch of The Big Idea is a cousin of mine as is Donald Trump and Hillary
Clinton. "I was named Salsa because I am hot, intense and extroverted like the high-energy salsa dancers.
And
by "hot," I mean I am on-fire with new ideas and am not afraid of trying new things. "Dominant is the
term in the DiSC® system and a Choleric in the Greek terms."
