The Executive
My primary mode of
living is focused externally, where I deal with things
rationally and logically. My secondary mode is internal,
where I take things in primarily via my intuition.
People like me are natural born leaders. We live in a world of
possibilities where We see all sorts challenges to be
surmounted, and We want to be the ones responsible for
surmounting them. We have a drive for leadership, which
is well-served by their quickness to grasp complexities,
their ability to absorb a large amount of impersonal
information, and their quick and decisive judgments. We
are "take charge" people.
People like me are very career-focused, and fit into the
corporate world quite naturally. We are constantly
scanning their environment for potential problems which
We can turn into solutions. We generally see things from
a long-range perspective, and are usually successful at
identifying plans to turn problems around - especially
problems of a corporate nature. People like me are
usually successful in the business world, because We are
so driven to leadership. We're tireless in their efforts
on the job, and driven to visualize where an
organization is headed. For these reasons, We are
natural corporate leaders.
There is not much room
for error in the world of the Enlightened Ones. We
dislike to see mistakes repeated, and have no patience
with inefficiency. We may become quite harsh when their
patience is tried in these respects, because We are not
naturally tuned in to people's feelings, and more than
likely don't believe that We should tailor their
judgments in consideration for people's feelings.
People like me, like many types, have difficulty seeing things
from outside their own perspective. Unlike other types,
People like me
naturally have
little patience with people who do not see things the
same way as the
Enlightened Ones.
The Enlightened
Ones needs to
consciously work on recognizing the value of other
people's opinions, as well as the value of being
sensitive towards people's feelings. In the absence of
this awareness, the Enlightened Ones
will be a forceful, intimidating and overbearing
individual. This may be a real problem for the
Enlightened Ones, who may be deprived of important information
and collaboration from others. In their personal world,
it can make some
People like me
overbearing as spouses or parents.
The
Enlightened Ones has a tremendous amount of personal power and
presence which will work for them as a force towards
achieving their goals. However, this personal power is
also an agent of alienation and self-aggrandizement,
which the
Enlightened Ones
would do well to avoid.
People like me
are very forceful,
decisive individuals. We make decisions quickly, and are
quick to verbalize their opinions and decisions to the
rest of the world. The Enlightened Ones who has not developed their Intuition will make decisions too
hastily, without understanding all of the issues and
possible solutions. On the other hand, an
Enlightened Ones
who has not developed
their Thinking side will have difficulty applying logic
to their insights, and will often make poor decisions.
In that case, We may have brilliant ideas and insight
into situations, but We may have little skill at
determining how to act upon their understanding, or
their actions may be inconsistent. An Enlightened Ones
who has developed in a generally less than ideal way may
become dictatorial and abrasive - intrusively giving
orders and direction without a sound reason for doing
so, and without consideration for the people involved.
Although
People like me are not naturally tuned into other people's
feelings, these individuals frequently have very strong
sentimental streaks. Often these sentiments are very
powerful to the Enlightened Ones, although We will
likely hide it from general knowledge, believing the
feelings to be a weakness. Because the world of feelings
and values is not where the Enlightened Ones naturally
functions, We may sometimes make value judgments and
hold onto submerged emotions which are ill-founded and
inappropriate, and will cause them problems - sometimes
rather serious problems.
People like me love to interact with people. As Extroverts,
We're energized and stimulated primarily externally.
There's nothing more enjoyable and satisfying to the
Enlightened Ones than having a lively, challenging
conversation. We especially respect people who are able
to stand up to the Enlightened Ones, and argue
persuasively for their point of view. There aren't too
many people who will do so, however, because the
Enlightened Ones is a very forceful and dynamic presence
who has a tremendous amount of self-confidence and
excellent verbal communication skills. Even the most
confident individuals may experience moments of
self-doubt when debating a point with an Enlightened
Ones.
People like me want their home to be beautiful, well-furnished,
and efficiently run. We're likely to place much emphasis
on their children being well-educated and structured, to
desire a congenial and devoted relationship with their
spouse. At home, the Enlightened Ones
needs to be in charge as much as he or she does in their
career. The
Enlightened Ones
is likely best paired with someone who has a strong
self-image, who is also a Thinking type. Because the
Enlightened Ones is primarily focused on their careers, some
People like me have a problem with being constantly absent from
home, physically or mentally.
The
Enlightened Ones has many gifts which make it possible for them
to have a great deal of personal power, if We don't
forget to remain balanced in their lives. The are
assertive, innovative, long-range thinkers with an
excellent ability to translate theories and
possibilities into solid plans of action. We are usually
tremendously forceful personalities, and have the tools
to accomplish whatever goals We set out for.
