Introverted/Head

This is how you react in this conflict:

Introverted and “From the head”:

Reliable doer

Essentially, i.e. under relaxed conditions, you are a “reliable doer”.

Under stress, however, when you feel overcharged, you often react like a “busy bee”.

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:

  • Know-it-all attitude
  • Pessimism
  • Scepticism
  • Analysing
  • Withdrawal
  • In extreme cases, compulsive, perfectionist, and unyielding
  • In case of escalation, you often have the following thoughts or feelings: “I always have to take care of everything, it’s too much to bear.”

Your motivation, your wish is to:

  • Do the right thing and get things done.

What you want to avoid, what you mostly fear:

  • Criticism
  • Refusal
  • Aggression

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

  • Motivation attempts, i.e. when people try to motivate me
  • Excuses or pretexts
  • Empty promises
  • Verbal attacks
  • Accusations

In future, your motto in challenging situations should be:

  • Allow for greater contact and more feelings under stress.

Our recommendation for you to better achieve your potential:

  • Try to better understand what is going on inside you
  • Move from the rational to the emotional, into sensing
  • Open yourself to new things
