How do we React to our Personality Type?

Do you feel an immediate change in how you respond when faced with a problem when you feel your personality type is different from what others expect you to do? You may be one of the many who keep a track of your personality type so that you can identify the difference between your behavior and that of others. One of the main differences between your personality and others’ may include how you choose to respond when a different circumstance forces you to make a decision on whether or not to conform to a socially acceptable way of acting. Below are a few reasons that I have seen people act in different ways when under challenging circumstances based on their type.

Seeking the next best experience solution

One of the easiest but often overlooked differentiator is the difference we have with our personalities. For example, why would someone choose to change their personality type when it is difficult to make adjustments? Some may decide to change their personality type so that they can live a better life, making them more successful in their personal or professional lives. That change may be due to financial difficulty that they are currently experiencing or a transition in their lives.

People switch personalities because they need the change and want to get rid of the person who has been a hindrance to their goals. Changing personality type and professional activities is a necessity for some people that changes it will allow them to become the person they wish to be in a new era.

Choice of words

Ads and commercials seem to have an endless amount of meanings that we have difficulty understanding and deciding whether or not they are relevant. For example, if I walk into a shopping mall, a quick search of “Top 10 Mall Ads” may allow me to understand some of the meaning behind what was being advertised.

Looking at a TV ad and being able to identify the need that the ad was addressed may help me decide what to decide to purchase. Being able to distinguish what it really means might make me change my behavior. If I see an ad and wish to buy something that would benefit myself and others as a whole, I would examine the meaning behind the advertisement and what it means for the future as a whole.

Likely to deviate from others

Another factor that separates us is our response to others. Some people are socially accepted and express empathy when dealing with others around them. On the other hand, some people sometimes respond in ways that break the laws of society. When you are dealing with someone who wants to deviate from the rest of society or who is likely to deviate from the masses, it is important that you act in an appropriate manner. Why? If you do not speak with them in an appropriate manner, it may also make them feel like you believe that they are different than others. People see those who do that as insensitive to the fact that, despite their personality type, they share the same set of values and should adhere to them.

Useful perspective

Many people talk to their friends and family about the problems that they are dealing with and the changes that they are making in their lives. It is important that they do this in a safe and supportive environment. If your friend or family member does not have a safe environment, it can make you feel as if you have to adapt to their coping skills.

What is a safe space to discuss difficult or even scary circumstances and how the individual responds and what is/are the choices they make. Understandably, it might feel too risky to talk to people about the discomfort, anxiety, or uncertainty that they are feeling. That does not mean that talking with others or anyone else is detrimental. In some situations, you will need to open up to someone who you trust and you have helped influence. You will be closer to your goal if you reach out, even if it means that some people do not understand your issues or struggle.
