You might remember the character “Adrian Monk” played by Tony Shalhoub from the TV series “The Monk”. The personality of Adrian Monk is that of a perfectionist. The way he tries to keep everything clean and perfect as possible is hilarious. Similarly, some graphic designers are analogous to The Monk. They want every project to be done with perfection and precision. Extreme obsession with their work makes them behave compulsively.

 |
The fastest cartoon character in the anime world is Flash. He is capable of running at lightning pace and can perform a certain task within the blink of an eye. Designers of this personality type are very fast and prompt. They like to finish off their assignments in as less time as possible. They meet their deadlines with ease, sometimes complete the assignment way before the due date. Although rapid speed is a very good attribute, in some circumstances haste can make waste. |

8. The Lazy “Garfield”
|
| Even though most cats become lethargic when they grow up, but there is no match to the laziness of Garfield, the cartoon character. Garfield the cat, that loves to eat and sleep. Graphic designers of this category are gluttonous and ravenous. Moreover they tend to get sluggish and this delays their projects. They mostly don’t meet the project deadlines and are liable for procrastination. |

9. The Enduring “Ironman”
|
 |
The biggest trait of ironman is its exceptional ability for endurance. The ironman was originally created to act as an armor and endurance suit. Similar to this theory, graphic designers who fall under this personality type are extremely forbearing and tolerant. They can easily endure countless hours of design work and complete it without experiencing any fatigue. They can tolerate heaps of pressure and strain to finish off a design job within the deadline. |

10. The Hyper “Hulk”
|
| The marvel created by Marvel Comics is a giant, raging, humanoid monster named The Hulk. He is an emotional and impulsive mirror image of the withdrawn and reserved physicist Dr. Bruce Banner. The Hulk can get hyper at the slightest of provocation and can run havoc if provoked. These types of graphic designers are an exact opposite of the “enduring Ironman”. They are hyper, intolerant and can be angry at the slightest of things. |
