I's are active and relationship-oriented. They are characterized by their natural energy and enthusiasm. Assertive and people-oriented, they tend to be verbally adept and fairly assertive. I's are often effective motivators, using their natural vigor and optimism to gain agreement from most people. I's are generally outgoing, persuasive, confident, and constantly on the go. You work well in an atmosphere that provides freedom from controls and too much detail. Your basic interest is people, whether in a large group or one-on-one. You are poised and at ease with strangers in both work and social situations, and others seem to respond to you naturally. Because I's thrive on social interaction and recognition, they tend to be avid joiners of organizations. Their natural ease and charm helps them gain the recognition and approval that they need.
"The Affiliator"
Observable Traits
People see you as modest, outgoing, active, and independent. You strive to make your environment favorable and friendly. You try to make a good first impression and sell yourself, and you enjoy doing favors for people. Optimistic and enthusiastic, you exhibit self-confidence. You prefer to persuade people rather than command or direct them, motivating others by teamwork and togetherness.
Internal Motivators
Basically, you are much the same person that other people see: alert, unassuming, gregarious, and determined. You see little need to change your basic behavior in order to be successful; it has worked well for you through the years. You seek popularity and prestige. You like friendly relationships and group activities, and you want to work with people in pleasant surroundings.
Potential for Growth
You may trust people too much and misjudge their capabilities. At times you can talk too much and over-sell. You may overestimate the results of your projects and over-commit in setting objectives. On occasion, you may act impulsively and jump to conclusions. Over-involvement with people may disrupt your time schedule.
Ideal Work Setting
You work best for a friendly democratic manager with whom you can discuss situations freely. You like to be given recognition for your accomplishments. Status symbols may be important to you. Most of all, you need a chance to speak and be heard.
