Baseado nas descrições que a Retórica traz das características que inspiram a confiança no orador, Fiorin identifica três espécies de éthe (2004, p.121): 1) éthos baseado na phrónesis, qualidade que remete ao bom senso, a prudência, a ponderação, indicando se o orador exprime opiniões competentes e razoáveis; 2) éthos baseado na areté, que remete à virtude, entendida, neste contexto, como coragem, justiça e sinceridade, o que se traduz na manifestação do orador como alguém simples, sincero e franco ao expor seus pontos de vista; 3) éthos baseado na eúnoia, que remete à benevolência e à solidariedade, associadas às demonstrações de simpatia do orador pelo auditório.
A performance desse tipo de apresentador é comparável, nos termos da retórica aristotélica, a do orador que se utiliza da areté. Seu comportamento tende ao pólo do excesso, nos termos de Fiorin.
