If I had to pick whether I am an extrovert or introvert, I’d pick extrovert. I certainly thrive in the company of others and can’t walk to the tube station without making a friend along the way! However, there are other elements of my personality that would suggest otherwise. I’m very law-abiding and rules driven, I still have a fear of throwing myself into physical sport and I do find that most work problems and proposals are better solved when I have thinking time on my own.
Whilst it is great to know your traits, we all have a bit of everything in us. The skill is in how well we can self-monitor and adapt our behaviour to the situations we are in. I loved hearing this described as being a stand-up chameleon! But how do you stay authentic and true to yourself if you are constantly adapting your behaviour?
Don’t make assumptions about yourself, others and situations – these are constantly changing depending on stress levels, fatigue, the project in hand, group dynamics. Go into situations with an open mind, be mindful of others and be prepared to be a stand-up chameleon.
