Some of the following information may seem inaccurate
or incomplete. Remember, that this profile is a snapshot of your
personality at a specific moment. It is not intended as an
in-depth analysis of your complete being, but as a tool to aid in
self-discovery.
You are a good friend and are always willing to help those you
consider to be your friends. You also show strong ties, and will
be uncomfortable when separated from your friends for an extended
period.
You show self-control in most things you do; you are not an
extremist. Others may see you as stable, mature and steadfast.
You tend to dislike sudden or abrupt changes. You prefer things
the way they are. Your motto might be: "If it's not broken,
don't fix it."
You have a basic need to be supportive of others. You will agree
with others, sometimes even if it's not what you really want.
You tend to be a traditionalist, and will enjoy the social
environment best if it is stable and predictable. You dislike
sudden decisions about where to go or what to do, preferring to
think things out first.
Because of your lenient and complacent nature, others with fewer
scruples may take advantage of you. You could, perhaps, benefit
from greater assertiveness.
Others may perceive you as being undemonstrative and
self-controlled. Not wanting to be the center of attention, you
generally support others.
You prefer a warm, friendly environment free of conflict and
hostility. In that environment, you prefer reassurance of your
involvement and self-worth.
You may demonstrate positive possessiveness by developing strong
attachments; however, you will not be overly involved as some
others tend to do.
You tend to be loyal to others. Your loyalty shows in a variety
of ways including your "staying power" with
relationships and activities.
You are somewhat reserved in meeting new people. As a result, you
could benefit from more assertive people doing the appropriate
introductions to new people.
Others will notice that you are a sincere person about what you
say and do. This trait, along with the excellent listening
skills, creates an individual whom most people find pleasant to
be with and a calming type of person.
In communicating with others, you may support the mainstream
ideas rather than new trailblazing activities. You may prefer the
stable and traditional activities.
You have a communications style which many people are comfortable
with almost immediately. You are sincere, a good listener, not
pushy and overall a comfortable person to be near.
You tend to be a good listener. Others may seek you out to share
a thought or concern because of your empathic listening style.
You tend to internalize conflict. As a result, if something about
another is bothering you, you may bottle-up feelings and keep
them inside.
In your group, you may support the group leader rather than vie
for a leadership position yourself. As a result, the group leader
will usually appreciate the support you bring.
You may be less talkative than some others, but people will
generally know how you are feeling by observing many nonverbal
cues.
Many different factors determine the communication styles
with which you are most comfortable. Some individuals thrive on
the challenge of pointed criticism, while others are at their
best in a nurturing environment where criticism is offered as a
suggestion for improvement. Each of us has a unique set of
requirements and preferences. Below is a list of communication
styles that will mesh well with your own. Having a partner who
understands and practices these traits is important to your
long-term happiness.
