The Individualistic Doer
Individualistic Doers like you are self-assured and very independent people. You are a quiet and realistic, very rational, extremely matter of fact person. You strongly cultivate your individualism and enjoy applying your abilities to new tasks. But you are also a very spontaneous and impulsive person.
If one wanted to characterize you with one word, it would probably be “independent.†Few types are as freedom loving and individualistic as you (nomen est omen.) You should find a working environment where rules and structures play a secondary role, where the hierarchies are flat and where you won’t be limited to detailed projects and work flows. Your freedom to act cannot be large enough as far as you are concerned. You want to deal with things in the way you think it makes sense; how they relate to your own (high) standards and you don’t need others telling you how things must be done.
Titles and established authorities don’t impress you in the least. If someone is competent in your eyes, you have no problem occasionally listening to him/her. If he/she is not, there is no way that you’ll obey his/her instructions just because he/ she has got a sign with “department manager†hanging on their door. Furthermore, you are all for equal rights and would prefer that everybody have the same rights.
Deadlines and obligation are just as much anathema to you as is long-term planning. In regulated and hierarchic environments, your direct manner can also get you into trouble. Not all bosses appreciate constructive criticism. Could it be that you already got into trouble in school because you did not feeling like learning something because you believed it to be irrelevant? It is almost impossible for you to silently put up with a dreadful situation in order to avoid conflict. In not too conservative and authoritarian settings, your contribution will probably be more appreciated than in other traditional professional environments.

3. Personality Profile Test
Your Style
People with this temperament style are "go getters", aggressive in chasing their goals and quick to identify opportunities. They focus on achieving financial success and positions of respect and authority. They are thick skinned, tenacious, commercially oriented and financially astute. They are convinced about the need to fight to succeed and, in their determination to get ahead, they are often unaware of the reactions and concerns of others. However, they are often strongly family oriented, being fiercely protective and willing to do just about anything for those close to them. They particularly enjoy self-employment.
Positions of power, authority, esteem and prestige hold great appeal to this style of person, and they can work single-mindedly, with shrewd awareness of political contexts and commercial opportunities. They often find loopholes or opportunities that others may have missed, which allow them to get to where they want to be. They are attracted to positions where there is direct monetary reward for the effort they put in, such as commission based pay structures, and they particularly enjoy the fringe benefits of senior roles, both because these increase life's comforts and because they are status symbols to others.
They experience pressure or frustration when they encounter barriers to their plans, when their work is not recognised, when they have to perform work which lacks prestige, or when they miss out on what appear to be available financial rewards. In the face of such disappointments, they will not lose heart or go down without a fight. They tend to think strategically and are prepared to make whatever moves they believe to be necessary to regain their competitive or financial advantage. They do, however, need to be careful that they do not put others off side or treat staff inconsiderately since, in focussing on business or personal matters, they can disregard the concerns of those around them.
Their work style is uncomplicated in the sense that it is very directly pointed towards getting results that will enhance their prestige, career and salary. They are generally impatient for success and prepared to experiment with new approaches, but may not do the research required to ensure long-term success. They find ways to work smarter rather than harder, but they do need to be careful to avoid putting expedience before quality. In addition, they need to avoid taking snap decisions that do not take all implications into account. They are effective delegators, being attuned to opportunities to work through others rather than handle everything themselves. However, they do need to be careful that they do not over-delegate, that they take staff needs and concerns into account and give the work of others due credit.
Typically, they are confident and outspoken. They can be argumentative when they are confronted, and openly critical of others in authority, but they can also be very polished, professional and flattering in their approach when they feel that others could be useful to them. This can, however, come across as insincere. They often consider softness or gentleness in others to be a weakness and have little sympathy for people experiencing difficulties.
People of this temperament style generally gravitate toward people who are successful. They are keen to be at the hub of the social scene, and enjoy invitations to attend high profile functions. They are not people who feel the need to spend a great deal of time by themselves, generally enjoying being on the go, often networking and being keen to undertake new and interesting social activities in their free time.
