Researchers

Researchers are achievement-oriented, inquisitive people. They are concerned with objectivity, quality and meaningfulness. They deal curiously and critically with what interests them personally. Anyone who communicates with a researcher should be prepared to answer their questions factually and correctly.

The strongest motivations of a researcher are:

Communication

Communication with a researcher should serve the researcher’s basic needs for individuality (recognition) and rationality (knowledge). Helpful for this are facts, comparisons and the presentation of logical connections. The researcher wants to be asked, not lectured. Stay clear and factual. If it fits, tell him where he can ask for more information. He will take care of himself.
It is about him. If you want to convince him of whatever, remember, he alone makes the decision. And for that he needs facts. That’s why he asks questions. And his need for information determines your professional, slightly distanced, but friendly approach to the conversation. Show him by asking questions that you are interested in him, in his work or in his life. If you like to take strangers in your arms and spontaneously fraternize with them: Not with the researcher. Forget it.
The researcher decides for himself what information you should give him. To do this, he must know from you what he can ask for or request at which point. It makes sense to give him an overview or a summary and to ask him which topics he needs further information on. For his often great need for information, use links, for example, also to insider information. After he has processed your documents, ask him for his opinion.

If you want to know more about the researcher, use the pocket book: The motivational type “researcher” (german edition). Here you will get the important information about the basic needs and about the typical characteristics, relationships and communication of the researcher. In addition, you will read what the researcher can do for his well-being, how he learns most easily and which professions suit him. The book also includes a checklist for all important decisions.
