Extroverted/ From a gut feeling
This is how you react in this conflict:
Extroverted and “From a gut feeling”:
Essentially, i.e. under relaxed conditions, you are a “charming communicator”.
Under stress, however, when you feel overcharged, you often react like a “furious dolphin“.
We describe some of the most prominent features for this type of stress typology in the following:
Under stress, you tend to display the following behaviour:
- Accusations
- Verbal attacks
- Reinterpreting the situation
- Evasion
- Emotional overreaction (sometimes irascibly, in extreme cases hysteric, “freaking out”)
- In case of escalation, you often have the following thoughts or feelings: “Not with me, I’m gonna show him”.
Your motivation, your wish is to:
- Appreciation of your character and your feelings.
What you want to avoid, what you mostly fear:
- To remain unheard
- Rules
- Do something wrong
- Failing
- Be replaced
Your stressors, i.e. behaviour that stresses you:
- Putting someone in a bad light
- Arrogance
- Decisions of your counterpart
- Ranting
- Ignorance toward you
In future, your motto in challenging situations should be:
- More calm and arguments
Our recommendation for you to better achieve your potential:
- Take more time for contemplation (perhaps through retreat)
- Make room for other feelings than anger or fury
- Take your share of responsibility in a conflict, that is, responsibility for your words and deeds
- Contribute arguments, i.e. express yourself in concrete terms
- Follow through with things and topics, despite adversities
