My Type:
Harmony-seeking Idealists are characterised by a complex
personality and an abundance of thoughts and feelings. They are
warm-hearted persons by nature. They are sympathetic and understanding.
Harmony-seeking Idealists expect a lot of themselves and of others. They
have a strong understanding of human nature and are often very good
judges of character.
But they are mostly reserved and confide their
thoughts and feelings to very few people they trust. They are deeply
hurt by rejection or criticism. Harmony-seeking Idealists find conflict
situations unpleasant and prefer harmonious relationships. However, if
reaching a certain target is very important to them they can assert
themselves with a doggedness bordering on obstinacy.
Harmony-seeking
Idealists have a lively fantasy, often an almost clairvoyant intuition
and are often very creative. Once they have tackled a project, they do
everything in their power to achieve their goals. In everyday life, they
often prove to be excellent problem solvers. They like to get to the
root of things and have a natural curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.
At the same time, they are practically oriented, well organised and in a
position to tackle complex situations in a structured and carefully
considered manner. When they concentrate on something, they do so one
hundred percent - they often become so immersed in a task that they
forget everything else around them. That is the secret of their often
very large professional success.
As partners, harmony-seeking idealists are loyal and reliable; a
permanent relationship is very important to them. They seldom fall in
love head over heels nor do they like quick affairs. They sometimes find
it very difficult to clearly show their affection although their
feelings are deep and sincere. In as far as their circle of friends is
concerned, their motto is: less is more! As far as new contacts are
concerned, they are approachable to only a limited extent; they prefer
to put their energy into just a few, close friendships. Their demands on
friends and partners are very high. As they do not like conflicts, they
hesitate for some time before raising unsatisfactory issues and, when
they do, they make every effort not to hurt anyone as a result.
Career Advice:
As a Harmony-seeking Idealist you are one of the
introverted personality types. Therefore you prefer a quiet work
environment where you can intensively deal with your responsibilities
and are not disturbed by too many people and repeated distractions. You
need a lot of time to dwell on your thoughts, to put them into words and
let your ideas take shape.
You are grateful for a certain measure
of order and structure in order to achieve this, and being able to deal
with one project after the other, thus not having a number of
responsibilities at one time. You don’t like being overloaded because it
is important to you to deal with things thoroughly. Your capability to
concentrate is unusually great and very often you become engrossed in
something and forget everything around you.
You are one of the
feeler types. This fact is partially the reason that you have a very
strong insight into human nature and enjoy dealing with people. You are
interested in the people around you and have a real sense for their
motivations, needs and abilities. Your talent to see the best in
everybody and your keen wish to understand others and somehow contribute
to their well-being predestine you to work with people.
Due to
your propensity to be introverted you are not into holding major
speeches for large audiences. Your real strength lies in working
individually with people like therapists, physicians or priests. In
those professions, when advancing others in their personal development
or to help them in any other way is the issue, you are unbeatable.
You
are extremely sensitive, and your social competences are developed
above average. As a result you have no problems working with people or
being a team member. Still, you should watch out to primarily surround
yourself with persons who are similarly profound and eclectic. During
the working day you abhor thoughtless, superficial, and insensitive
colleagues.
