Personailty

Recently I have dedicated quite of bit of thought to how our own individual “personality” helps us derive our place in the world. Consider how we interact with one and other, how we either talk, study or listen to others.

This personality of ours ingrains into every facet of our lives, including the work place. Recently in my life I had the privilege of having some people very close to me that work in the public sector. These people are an intriguing breed to me, and I was drawn quickly to the differences ... studying each and every decision they make. Now the best way I can describe these traits held are in juxtaposition to another. Public servants differ from Politicians in that their dominant trait is equilibrium, while the dominant trait of Politicians is energy.

So what is energy, or the description of energy in the context spoken of above? Consider some of the great politicians from the past forever changing the course of humanity by driving a new ideal, or a societal goal. They do this with “energy”, provoking it in others through rousing speech that is often described by onlookers as an ability to “connect” with the common person. I believe that this is simply an innate trait they posses to shift energy from one person to another on a subconscious level.

But all of this change cannot happen without our societal stewards, the public servants. How would we keep control with all the abundance of energy and change surrounding us? Let’s take the public servant and what I believe is there constant strive for "equilibrium". They focus on stability and past procedures so that changes occur in an orderly fashion and do not have a negative impact on the administrative system.

So here is what I have been posturing over.... when these personality types meet in regular day to day life (even with the array of other personally types not mentioned in these thoughts I have been jotting down) are they all aware of how they interact with each other? Can each of us recognize our own personality traits and how they control both our conscious and subconscious choice made during our interactions with one another?
