Discover Your Persona
This week at work, I was introduced to a personality analysis. I was skeptical at first, but after reading the instructions I was kind of intrigued. Just to answer any questions about where I work, no, it is not some kind of psychological experiment hospital.
Now then, the process is about sixteen steps long, and requires you to rate words that relate to you on a scale from one to four, four being the best descriptor. The analysis takes some careful consideration as no two numbers can be alike. There are choices which you wish could receive equal treatment, but cannot. After all the thought and anticipation, you are provided with a summary of your mind. A graph displays a rating on the following traits;
- Adaptive vs. Directing
- Reserved vs. Interacting
- Objective vs. Supportive
- Unconventional vs. Conscientious
I was freaked out after reading my mind, as it was an eerie and accurate description. I have to say that I wasn’t terribly shocked as I know most of the things to be true, but I have never read such a blunt description of myself.
My Persona

As an analyzer, you tend to seek perfect outcomes in all of your plans and projects. In many situations, you “take things apart” in your mind and think about ways to do them better. You excel at this kind of mental examination, but you may tend to see family and friends as “projects,” rather than people.Typical Areas of Strength;

To maximize your talents, you look for situations in which you can offer logical solutions to complex challenges, and you evaluate and make necessary changes to assure the desired outcome.Your Communication Style;
You tend to provide insights and direction by teaching, managing, clarifying, and advising.
