Semi-Daily Scribbles

Theresa, your results show a preference for direct, extrovert-acting, accepting
behavior with secondary tendencies toward direct, controlling behavior. A person
with an accepting preference tends to accept what the environment offers and uses it to meet their inner needs. The opposite preference, called the control preference, tends to act on their environment—to change it—to meet their inner needs. As you can see, your results show a preference for both, although the tendency to accept is a little stronger. You also show a strong tendency to be direct, extrovert-acting. Your approach is a direct one, which involves both interacting with others as well as focusing on tasks that are important to you. You demonstrate an enthusiastic, optimistic, “can do” attitude with almost everyone you meet. You have a variety of interests and are continually attracted to new opportunities. You become easily bored with routines, repetitiveness, and too many details or complications that limit you from pursuing your own interests. You seek prestige and can be quite persuasive as you verbalize a convincing “can do” approach. In the final analysis, people are more important to you than tasks accomplishment.

Your natural talents fit best with roles that require a person to primarily be a strong
communicator and influencer of people and secondarily be a leader, decision maker;
such roles include being a spokesperson, symbolic leader, or promoting and
representing an organization’s products and services.

You are direct, extrovert-acting. You enjoy a variety of interests and are fascinated
by new opportunities, especially when they provide you with a chance to meet and
“schmooze” with people. You like to be on the receiving end of personal
recognition, and you enjoy status symbols that signal success at having your
“fingers in lots of different pies.” However as an Enthusiast, you can be quick to
extricate yourself from messy situations and relationships that might jeopardize your
image or the loss of your acquisitions.

You are primarily a supporting type of individual, though with a secondary
controlling drive. This can best be understood by your drive to impact and shape
situations through the influence you exert on people when seeking your objectives.
This tendency is most often observed in your knack for being perhaps the most
expressive of all the different behavioral patterns.

People refer to you as an Enthusiast because of your exuberant, bubbly, upbeat
approach with people and life. Your charm and warmth is a natural magnet that
creates an aura for attracting people to you. You have outcomes and purposes to
your “can do” approach, but in the long run people are more important than tasks or
outcomes.
