Go-getters are direct, driven, self-confident and fast-paced, however, are criticised with lacking the communicating finesse of other personality types. These are the people that are looking for a challenge and will tackle whatever challenge you can give them head on. Their one weakness is the lack of deliberation in decision making which can mean important details get missed. This can become an issue in bigger risk-taking decisions, especially when financial elements come into play.
