Had another unproductive day in the army, so in the midst of slacking, we did a personality test. Comments anyone?
Graph 1 : Masked Public Self (Pure S = Technician/Specialist/One Who is Steady)
Individuals who are Technicians exhibit a stable, consistent nature by working to maintain an unchanging environment focused around people. Preferring support roles, they work well with many of the other personality styles because of their controlled and modest behaviour. They are patient, loyal, and helpful to friends. Friendships are developed slowly and selectively.
Technicians are not bored by routine and work best with guidelines and rules that are clearly spelled out. Technician's greatest fear is loss of security, and sudden changes are difficult for them. They need time to adjust to changes and are reluctant to let go of the 'old way of doing things'. They preferto approach change as a step by step process, not an event. Once a technician has made a decision, they will tend to stick to it, even stubornly, because much time has gone into the decision making process. They have a hard time saying 'no', and they seek peace at almost any cost. Avoiding conflict, they tend to internalize their feelings. A technicina will adopt a tenacious attitude, even in tough times; and can be relied upon to stay true through it all. But beware of mistaking their desire for peace as weakness; once u have pushed them to their limit, they are immovable.
Graph 2 : Core, Private self (CSI = Practioner/Realist/One Who is Steadfast)
Individuals who are Practioners exhibit an outgoing style with an analytical, cautious disposition. They develop friends easily and control themselves to the extend that they rarely anatagonize intentionally. Practitioners are caring, friendly and competent. Being perfectionistic in nature, they will isolate themselves if necessary to get the job donw. Practitioners like to be in predictable situations - 'No surprises, please'. They are quality oriented individuals who seek approval for a job well done.
Practitioners can be counted on to do a good job and pay attention to detail while being aware of the needs of the people around them. They have excellent interaction skills and use their knowledge of facts to influence people. Because they want to be well liked, Practitioners may have a hard time in a disciplinary role. They can be very effective by combining intuitive, logical, and analytical skills with strong people skills. When they develop their skills to their full potential, Practitioners can be very powerful leaders.
Graph 3 : Mirror , Perceived self. ( CS = Precisionist/Perfectionist/Traditional One)
Individuals who are Precisionists exhibit a precise, detailed, stable nature. They are systematic thinkers who tend to follow procedures in both personal and business life. They act in a highly tactful, diplomatic fashion and rarely antagonize their associates consciously, taking care to avoid conflict. Extremely conscientious, they painstakingly require accuracy in work and maintain high standards. Precisionists like a protected and secure environment with set rules and regulations, and dislike sudden changes. They like people, but prefer having only a few close friends.
Exactness is of the essence to Precisionists, and criticism (their greatest fear) is equated with failure. They can be counted on to carry out tasks correctly. They want exact facts and figures before they will make a decision, and feel uneasy when forced to decide anything quickly. Predictability and security are the greatest goals for a Precisionist. This is true in all aspects of a Precisionist's life; the more stable the environment, the happier they are.
