Extroverted/From the head

This is how you react in this conflict:

Extroverted and “From the head”:

Bold decision maker

Essentially, i.e. under relaxed conditions, you are a “bold decision maker”.

Under stress, however, when you feel overcharged, you often react like an “attacking tiger“.

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:

  • Impatience
  • Interrupting others
  • Speaking louder
  • Flooding with facts
  • Wanting to prevail (be in the right)
  • Pressure
  • Bluntness
  • Hardness
  • Taking decisions
  • Control
  • Suppressing feelings
  • In extreme cases, a tendency to be schizoid, i.e. lack of emotion.
  • In case of escalation, you often have the following thoughts or feelings: “I’ve had just about enough.”

Your motivation, your wish is to:

  • Get it done
  • Swiftness

What you want to avoid, what you mostly fear:

  • Loss of control
  • Lack of commitment
  • Uncertainty

Your stressors, i.e. behaviour that stresses you:

  • Rule violations
  • Evasion
  • Lack of communication
  • Self-justification

In future, your motto in challenging situations should be:

Our recommendation for you to better achieve your potential:

  • Admit feelings
