Impatiens is suitable for people who are easily irritated. They are impatient and want everything done instantly. They act, think and speak quickly. These people are capable and efficient but irritated and frustrated by slow co-workers and therefore prefer to work alone. They are independent, hate wasting time and often finish other people's sentences.

They may have temper flare-ups but these are soon over. When ill, they make restless and irritable patients. They are often fidgety and their hastiness may lead to accident-proneness.

The positive potential of Impatiens is someone who is decisive and spontaneous but less hasty in thought and action. They are relaxed and good-humoured with others and sympathetic to those who are slow. They cope calmly and diplomatically with irritating problems.
