The Thinking Relater
I am the most inward acting of all the behavioral styles. I like to work
independently on familiar tasks that I can direct and control.
I am restrained, diplomatic and accommodating. I think of myself as a true
perfectionist when dealing with tasks and people. If I fully understand the
situation, I can give it my best effort.
I generally see a better way and a worse way to do things, and I know
which one I would like to avoid. I do not like conflict and often find myself
as not only an administrator who goes by the book, but also as someone
people will come to for a balanced and thoughtful response.
My Tendencies include:
I follow established expectations and rules.
I attend precisely to details and ensure follow-through.
I dislike opposition, hostility, confrontation and adversity.
I must have stability and clarity in what people expect from me.
I am generally restrained, face saving and reluctant to get involved.
I tend to become more reserved, indirect, even secretive under pressure.
I do not like public recognition or making presentations.
My Potential Limiters:
With Tasks: Because I am continually on the lookout for ideal solutions,
I may miss the less than perfect opportunities. I could benefit from
developing more realistic expectations, adjusting to less than perfect
alternatives, in my pursuit of success.
With People: : I am uncomfortable with in-depth involvement with people, so
I could benefit by improving my social skills, getting to know and appreciate
different types of people.
I should be more open and forthright in expressing my thoughts.
I need to be more genuinely open to people different from myself.
I hope to identify at least two new growth goals each year that involve
improving my adaptability.
