![]() Whether meeting with a new client, going on a job interview, or even seeing someone for a blind date, there is something to be said for the truism that “one doesn’t get a second chance to make a first impression.” Indeed, a poor first impression can ensure that one never gets the chance to make a second, and while an Assertive personality isn’t oblivious to this fact, his or her attitude is likely to be one of nonchalance: “Who knows what they will like, so why not just be myself?”Ī Turbulent personality, on the other hand, takes a more nuanced view. After all, we do judge each other, consciously or otherwise, on one another’s dress, speech, and mannerisms, and these judgments can have profound consequences. The anxiety of a Turbulent personality stems from sensitivity to his or her surroundings, and while this sensitivity can at times lead to the “spotlight effect” – the sensation that all eyes are on you – the feeling is not entirely without basis. The truth is, Turbulent personality types, like all others, have strengths that are all their own, and it is only by embracing them – rather than swimming upstream by attempting to imitate the behavior of the supposedly more “well-adjusted” Assertive – that Turbulent types can live up to their fullest potential. ![]() It can be easy to see the Turbulent type variant as undesirable – after all, how many films feature a confident, laid-back Assertive whose role was to get a painfully neurotic Turbulent to “loosen up?” But while Turbulent types are easy to caricature when used as a foil for Assertive ones in buddy comedies, those who are Turbulent in real life are not so easily reduced. #Dont worry im pro freeWhere Assertive individuals (their opposite number) tend to be calm, relaxed, and free from worry, Turbulent types are more likely to be self-conscious perfectionists, concerned about their abilities or about how others perceive them. But of course, there are no “good” types or “bad” types – only different ways of viewing, interpreting, and interacting with the world around us. There is a danger, when discussing personality types, of thinking in terms of “good” and “bad”: introverts are extraverts who need to come out of their shells, feelers need a dose of reality that only thinkers can provide, intuitive types are simply more absent-minded versions of their observant counterparts, and so on. ![]()
