I'm a high D/I (7-6-1-3) and I've been revisiting the Effective Relationships series in preparation for a new position. I'm wondering if anyone else with two "High X" traits ever feels this way. This is (more or less) my constant inner monologue:
High I: ::Telling FANTASTIC story to BESTEST WORK FRIEND EVER(!!!)::
High D: Ugh. Shut your face, we have work to d--
High I: Shut YOUR face, jerk. BESTEST WORK FRIEND EVER(!!!) helps us all the ti--
High D: I want this 30 minutes of our life back. Yo--
High I: What else are we going to do, analyze those reams of data?
Both: ::hearty belly laugh at the ridiculousness of silly details::
High D: Eh, lets go pick on [High-C] Bob.
High I: Oooh!! That's always fun!! I'll ask him 10,000 questions about his divorce. You tell him he's wron--
High D: Well, he IS wron--!
High I: :-) Awww, I love you, even when you're grumpy.
High D: Die.
High D: Also, I cannot BELIEVE you put a smiley in a Manager Tools forum post.
Yes. I'm also a high D, high
Yes. I'm also a high D, high I. This is constantly my inner dialogue.
get back to work
nuff said
High-D
Yes!!!
I'm both, although slightly higher D. So glad to hear it's not just me!!
High D-C
As a high D-C i have similar internal struggles but they are much more about if I really need to plow through all the data to make a decision or if the one I've probably already made is correct enough to go with.
D: Obviously the answer is "XYZ"
C: What if the data says otherwise?
D: It probably won't
C: But what if the Boss asks us about the data?
D: She probably won't
C: See... this here looks important!
D: It's probably not
C: Ever heard of confirmation bias?
D: Yes, but I probably don't have it
C: did you really just... never mind, I'm reading the rest of this
... Time passes ...
C: See, that was really helpful
D: Sure, sure. But the answer is still "XYZ"
C: True, but now we know why.
D: We're never getting that time back you know....
