Always I mentioned that i am a "feeler", well this is wat a "feeler" is:
Empathics (Feelers)
General:
· place high values on human interaction
· seek & enjoy stimulation of others
· try to analyse & understand their emotions & others
· concern for & understanding of people makes them astute in reading between the lines
· listeners who empathise
Occupational:
· entertainers, sales people, writers, teachers, P.R. people, nurses, psychologists, retail & real estate business people
· meetings, events, networking, crises, selling (both ideas & solutions), training coaching, organisational politics
Typical behaviour:
· seen as dynamic & stimulating, warm & closely in touch with others
· demonstrate ability to be sensitive to the needs and want of others
· note discrepancies between speech & expression & outward behaviour & inner feelings
· sensitive to their own motives & motives of others
· seen as perceptive and insightful
· sought out to help with complex emotional problems & situations, to interpret meanings of behaviour or assess climate & morale of a group
· effective in predicting the ways that others may respond or react to a projected change or an action
At their best:
· truly perceptive & aware
· skilled in communication & patient, practical listeners & observers
· read and assess organisational politics with accuracy & insight
· can position and see change in ways that reduce resisting forces before the fact - increasing likelihood of cooperation, teamwork & progress
At their worst:
· seen as more concerned with process of interaction than content or action that people are interacting about
· much less interested in developing concepts, plans or programs or in systematically getting them to function
· seen as individuals who rely less on logic & thought & more on gut feel
· may be more preoccupied with making emotional impact on others or persuading them than being concerned about the ends
· take their own emotional reactions and inferences of others feelings as “fact”
· sometimes seen as defensive and over-reactive
· may be criticised for subjectivity, & emotionalism - which may be seen as a substitute for action
· tend to fan latent emotional sparks into real fires - whilst disappointed if others don’t share their concerns about the importance of feelings as the cornerstone for meaningful action and change
Under stress:
· risk being seen as subjective, impulsive, insufficiently deliberate, indifferent to tradition and custom, cavalier about details or prudent measures valued by others
· can become thin-skinned or over-reactive and may overstep desire to be outspoken and dramatic possibly lacking good sense and humility
· moods fluctuate widely reacting to the feelings of the moment - causing uneven and erratic behaviour - sometimes this causes others to question their credibility
Time:
· more orientated to past, past experience - to make present meaningful to themselves and others
· as they age - likely to become sentimental
