With a high score for Abstract Sequential, and Concrete Sequential in a close second, it is safe to say that I am definitely Sequential according to the Gregoric Style Delineator. According to The Free Personality Test, the lion dominates my personality. It comes as no surprise that I like to have things in order, as it helps to see the big picture. The statement about seeming the forest ­­and the trees especially resonated with me.

I laughed when reading that Abstract Sequential personalities do not like touchy-feely activities. It has always been difficult to take these types o f activities seriously, and I have promised myself to not use them with my future staff. This could be an obstacle for my staff that thrive in a touchy-feely environment. The direct and blunt nature of the lion will also be an obstacle for working with those that are more sensitive. I can envision it being easier to build relationships with those who are focused and goal driven.
