Analyze Jan's mysterious case of Mr. B. Go for it! …and post your best guestimate of the underlying E-type. Remember that the point of view is from a business or office situation; in which practical utility of a person is important.
Mr. B. has a relatively unusual character, as are all profiles containing both high dominance and steadiness. The main distinguishing feature of this style is its low influence-score, describing a personality based more around practicality and rational thought than emotional considerations, B. is being generally reluctant to reveal information about himselve, his ideas or his feelings in a work situation, although they like to get help from people they trust when feeling in trouble.
B. is his is a complex personality with varying responses to varying situations. In this particular case, more assertive and dominant behaviour can be expected in antagonistic or difficult situations, while a more relaxed (but far less assertive) style can be anticipated in less pressurised circumstances.
Relating to Others
The low influence score in B's profile indicates that relating to other people is not an area of particular emphasis. Where B does respond to others on more than a purely practical basis, he will tend to be rather passive in approach, reacting to comments or suggestions from other parties rather than offering direct input himselve. As a situation becomes more difficult, their willingness to make direct input will increase dramatically, causing sometimes 'exaggerated' statements and actions, but his readiness to communicate on a personal level will reduce proportionately.
Common Abilities
The emphasis of B's personality is on results and productivity. He works well with facts, and is at home with complex and state-of-the-art-systems. B. values effectiveness and efficiency, and will tend to embody these qualities in their approach to both their work and home lives. Although B. has a clear view of his own personal aims in life, he is prepared to bide their time when necessary, and this thoughtful, patient approach helps them to avoid unneccessary risks or impulsive actions.
Motivating Factors
B's a sensitive person and has a variety of motivating factors, and these can express themselves in different ways according to circumstance. In B's case, motivating factors include the achievement of results, time to adapt to changing situations, a full understanding of fact and detail and an avoidance of risk. There will clearly be times when elements of this complex group of motivations conflict with one another and this causes stress and confusion with B.
Sub-traits
The sub-traits of this type are efficiency, thoughtfulness and accuracy.
