Fletcher is a driver, and his new roommate, Andrew, is an amiable. Predict the dynamics of their relationship; will there be conflict? Harmony? How can they successfully relate to one another?

What will be an ideal response?

Answers will vary, but should reflect an understanding of the two styles:
1. Amiable (Andrew): Score high on responsiveness and low on assertiveness and are considered relationship specialists. They are supportive and helpful with others and described as conforming, unsure, pliable, dependent, awkward, respectful, willing, dependable, and agreeable. They often work in helping professions such as teaching, human resources, social work, and psychology.
2. Driver (Fletcher): Score low on responsiveness and high on assertiveness and are considered control specialists. They often take responsibility and direct other and are described as pushy, severe, tough, dominating, harsh, strong-willed, independent, practical, decisive, and efficient. They often work in management professions such as small-business ownership, top management, production management, administrative personnel, and politics.
There is much potential for conflict and harmony in this relationship, as the two styles are completely opposite and can be complementary. Fletcher will be comfortable making decisions, while Andrew will be comfortable allowing Fletcher to make them. To increase their harmony Andrew should let Fletcher know what he needs and desires, ask for help when he needs it, and learn to say no when he wishes to. Fletcher can refrain from taking advantage of Andrew's good nature, listen more and talk less, and pay attention to Andrew's feelings. Andrew can also be more direct and quick-acting in his communication with Fletcher.
