Emotions: accepts aggression; may be restrained in expression Goal: dominance; unique accomplishments Influences others by: setting a pace in developing systems and innovative approaches Judges others by: personal standards; progressive ideas in getting things done Value to the organization: initiator or designer of changes Overuses: bluntness; critical or condescending attitude Under pressure: easily bored with routine work; sulky when restrained; acts independently Fears: not being influential; failure to achieve their standards Would increase effectiveness with more: warmth; tactful communication; effective team cooperation; recognition that sanctions exist | Persons with a Creative Pattern display two opposite forces in their behavior. A desire for tangible results is counterbalanced by an equally strong drive for perfection. Aggressiveness is tempered by sensitivity. Quickness of thought and reaction time are restrained by the wish to explore all possible solutions before deciding. Creative persons exhibit a lot of foresight in focusing on projects, and they do bring about change. Since individuals with a Creative Pattern have a drive for perfection and considerable planning ability, the changes they make are likely to be sound, although the method used may be lacking in attention to interpersonal relationships. Creative persons want freedom to explore and authority to examine and retest findings. They can make daily decisions quickly but may be extremely cautious in making bigger decisions: "Should I take the promotion?" "Should I move to another location?" In their drive for results and perfection, Creative persons may not be as concerned about social poise. They may project cool aloofness and bluntness. |
This is the result of a test I took several years ago. It's crazy that it's so accurate.
