Direction Takers
15% | Specific & Directive
Direction Takers believe their physician is the most credible resource for their healthcare needs. Direction Takers like to “cut to the chase” and do not like to be asked a lot of questions; these patient types look to their physician and other healthcare professionals for direction and guidance because of their expertise and credentials.
The character personality traits of Direction Takers make them more likely to go to the doctor at the first sign of health concerns. However, Direction Takers may not always follow a physician’s advice – not because they disagree with his/her recommendations, but because it is often difficult to work these recommendations into their routine.
