At the top of the vertical line write the word “formal” and at the bottem of the line write the word “cast al.” Now, draw a horizontal fine that intersects the vertical at the 0, the middle, and cali- brate this horizontal tine like vou did the vertical. You should now have a line that starts with 5 and ends with a5 and the avo lines intersect at the 0 position. At the far right side of the horizontal fine waite the word “dominant” and at the far left side wnte the word “passive.” Now, stop and think.

Lets look at what the “pop” psychologists sav about your dominant man ner of unconscious behaviour, If vou are in the Formal- Dominant quadrant (FD) you “tend” to like ta be in control of situations, events and peo- ple. You are very resulis ori- emted, prefer not to show your emotions (impatience exchud- ed) and are a doer. Your weak- ness is in listening and in hav- ing empathy for others, Under stress vou tend to be dictator: al. You make decisions easily and get bored with too much derail. You have the greatest difficulty in relating to people who “tend” towards Casuai- Passive behaviour. Your focus is often, “What's the bottom line?” If you are in the Casual- Dominant quadrant (CD) you “tend” to prefer social activi- ties and are motivated by i JITKA DVORAK # “PERSONAL APPROACH minion and approval.

Like the FI vou have all the facts — vet your facts are about people. You know the gossip about who is doing what with or to whomever.
