Type of Dad
 
Description
1. Adventurous
 
E. Being busy in a different way is what makes this type of dad happy. He
keeps himself occupied by seeking out new things to do.
2. Career-Driven
 
N. He focuses on the long-term nature of situations and relationships.
He will sacrifice for today so he can invest in and for the future.
3. Community-Minded
 
A. He has a great awareness and feeling for his neighbors and friends
(who are really the same to him).
4. Competitive Sports-Loving
 
R. He is very active, and his strict schedule means you can’t just plan on
dropping in on him. The front page or the local news is not the first thing
he reads in the morning.
5. Couch Potato
 
J. A good man who doesn’t want to do much after work. You will not have
much competition for his time and attention.
6. Difficult
 
O. You’ll wonder why it’s worth it having contact, but keep in mind that he
is the only one you call “Dad.” Also, he is the one who needs it the most.
7. Free-Spirited
 
D. He is easy to relate to so long as you are flexible and adaptive.
8. Helping Others
 
K. He likes to see others learn a new skill, and he will work patiently until
the person learns it.
9. Keeps to Himself
 
P. He’s not the easiest person to get through to, and so you must use
patience to begin the conversation.
10. Nature-Loving
 
I. He’d rather watch a show on the plains of Africa than the Super Bowl;
his bird feeders are always filled.
11. Personal Sports-Loving
 
L. Focused while working around the house, he likes being by himself
but he also likes company if you respect his desire for peaceful settings.
12. Power-Driven
 
C. He is in control of the situation, a very natural position for the
father-offspring relationship.
13. Scholarly
 
H. You might want to do something “just for fun,” but he will turn it into a
learning exercise, partly because he expects great things from you.
14. Self-Absorbed
 
Q. He doesn’t have many close friends, and his defense mechanism is
to say that he has to take care of himself because no one else is
watching out for him.
15. Service-Minded
 
G. He gives of his time, skills, and energy so others can benefit. He just
wishes he had more time to give.
16. Social Magnet
 
B. He’s never around a stranger, and he likes to participate in every
discussion because they all interest him.
17. Success-Driven
 
M. He’s a winner in everything he does, or at least he tries to be.
18. Workaholic
 
F. He considers his time to be very valuable, so you might have to be a
little more aggressive to get his attention.
