Hello everyone,

To aid in finding business partners, we can post out personality profile / business personality types here and link in from other posts.

Knowing what personality potential business partners have is essential. No team can consist of all idea generators and people who follow through on that idea. Nor can a team have all workers, and specialist, without the idea generators.

The format for your posts should be:

[Name of personality survey] : [Your Personality types]

Example:

MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) : ISFP

HOTS survey : Hare / Turtle

Of course you can include some spare notes about yourself as well. Please try not to 'reply' to these posts as they are used more like a 'gallery'.

If you want to contact anyone, please PM them via SSuF personal messaging system.

Here is my personality profile:

MBTI : INTJ (Take this test here)

DISC : pure 'S' (this was a long time ago)

HOTS survey : Hare / Turtle

I took a survey called Harrison Inner View Profile. I above average in almost all the traits. Traits such as open-mindedness, diplomatic, influencing, self-motivated. So I am a bit of a chameleon; can work with most other personalities, and can fit into most roles. My most dominant traits would be optimism and self-esteem (acceptance of who I am, yet at the same time want to improve myself). I do have weaknesses, I am a slow plus non-detailed worker, and I am not very well organised.

I also read in a book by Adam Khoo, in a business, you can be one of four types: Leader, Manager, Specialist, Dealmaker. Pretty simple to see who is who. Leaders are idea creators, managers are the organizers putting ideas into form, specialists can be the lawyers or IT experts, and dealmakers are the sales people.


In summary, I am more of a leader type person. I have lots of ideas, and I love creation. Almost any kind of creation appeals to me, be it building business, or a piece of art. I am the idea generator in the team as well, complementing my leader personality. I will allow others to lead who I think have better leadership capabilities than me.

I am poorest as a manager. I can organise myself, but it will not last for very long. I can start an idea, but have difficulty following through. As an old Chinese saying "Have head, no tail".

I have certain specialised knowledge. Like IT knowledge. I am the kind of person who can bridge the gap between a business person and an IT person. This is due to my course of study.

I am not a good face to face sales person. I am introverted and cannot thing that quickly on the spot. I am a slow mover, thinking more long term and strategically.

Because of my desire not to be 'rated' into a personality type, I have done many things that are oppose my native personality. As such, although I am introverted, I am well trained and practiced in public speaking. I still do not have the gift of the gap, but I have studied writing copy (writing ads) instead.

Considering left and right brain, I was born probably left brained, but forced myself to try right brain activities. As such I am something of in between right and left brain. I can generate ideas, and can and see the pitfalls of the idea quickly, probably too quickly.

There you have it. I am a more balanced person, above average in most traits except for my weaknesses, like being slow, and not detailed.

This is what I can offer to you, as a team member. I am looking for people who can complement me by being strong where I am weak.

Here's mine. Quite reflective consider the posts I have made earlier.

ENTJ










"I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane.
If I can't control it, why look?"
ENTJs have a natural tendency to marshall and direct. This may be
expressed with the charm and finesse of a world leader or with the
insensitivity of a cult leader. The ENTJ requires little
encouragement to make a plan. One ENTJ put it this way... "I
make these little plans that really don't have any importance to
anyone else, and then feel compelled to carry them out." While
"compelled" may not describe ENTJs as a group, nevertheless
the bent to plan creatively and to make those plans reality is a
common theme for NJ types.

ENTJs are often "larger than life" in describing their
projects or proposals. This ability may be expressed as salesmanship,
story-telling facility or stand-up comedy. In combination with the
natural propensity for filibuster, our hero can make it very
difficult for the customer to decline.

TRADEMARK: -- "I'm really sorry you have to die." (I
realize this is an overstatement. However, most Fs and other gentle
souls usually chuckle knowingly at this description.)

ENTJs are decisive. They see what needs to be done, and frequently
assign roles to their fellows. Few other types can equal their
ability to remain resolute in conflict, sending the valiant (and
often leading the charge) into the mouth of hell. When challenged,
the ENTJ may by reflex become argumentative. Alternatively (s)he may
unleash an icy gaze that serves notice: the ENTJ is not one to be
trifled with.



HARE/OWL
















APPROACH: Conceptual/Spontaneous/Practical
DEscriptION: The Hare/Owl is an idea generator who is also
a true entrepreneur. They are good at exploring alternatives and
concepts, and they are also more comfortable with an insightful plan.
The Hare/Owl is able to generate ideas and develop a plan, based on
past experience,to promote those ideas successfully.
The Hare/Owl derives satisfaction from identifying good ideas and
developing solutions and strategies to overcome obstacles to
implementation. They enjoy working on multiple tasks and like to be
involved with the creation and advancement of ideas.
When everything is in its place,the Hare/Owl may get impatient,
ready for the next challenge.
CONTRIBUTION: Development of new concepts and ideas that
can be advanced within a known process or structure.
WEAKNESESS: The Hare/Owl may become frustrated with the
details of an orderly implementation plan, and may pay little
attention to the danger signs and barriers associated with
implementation.
INSTINCT: Creating new ideas and advancing them in pursuit
of team objectives.

HOTS survey : Turtle

APPROACH: Conceptual/Methodical

DESCRIPTION: The Turtle challenges concepts under discussion. Believing that consequences matter, the Turtle will want to plan how new endeavors are implemented and prepare for surprises. They like to create order from chaos, by improving the process by which ideas are implemented. The Turtle may play "devil's advocate" to test the soundness of an idea and try to improve it.

They prefer order,and are comfortable being methodical. They derive satisfaction from the mental exercise of the debate,and may lead others to examine the merits of an idea,using a systematic process in generating and exploring ideas.

CONTRIBUTION: Making sure that the concept is thought through, and examining how it can be improved and implemented.

WEAKNESESS: If allowed to control the group or the process,the Turtle may lead the team toward choosing low-risk ideas, filtering out ideas that may have greater risks,but also bigger payoffs.

INSTINCT: Prediction of the problems caused by new or unique ideas; improving ideas before implementation.

Your Type is

Extraverted :33
Intuitive :12
Feeling :62
Perceiving :11
