1. Task roles : relate to actually achieving the task goals.

2. Personal Roles : relate to the interpersonal relationships between team members. A highly qualified team, when all team members with a high ego will not be able to achieve the desired goal within the deadline.

3.Dysfunctional Roles: do not contribute in any way to a group. They are only interested in serving their own interests and more often than not, are responsible for disruptions and discord within the group.
