Types of People.

Post Reply New Topic

I read somewhere that how people react in a crises determins what type of person one is. For me I stand back and watch... I am not one who naturally jumps in and gets involved. My Mum is one who gets involved...

And I'm sure that the "types" mentioned in the article (Link, please?) were defined to support the author's premise.

I'm your opposite then; I could never trust others to deal with a crisis on my behalf.

I think the way one acts in a crisis determines what kind of a crisis handler they is, nothing less, nothing more.

I tend to get psychopatically calm and - without any emotion - explore possible solutions in my mind, to choose the most efficient one. Then, act efficiently. Then, after the crisis is over, fall ill.

It's likely either Myers-Briggs or Enneagrams -- those two are currently in fashion.

Both are equally worthless.

Depends on the person, but also depends on the crisis, and probably even the mood that person is in at the time. The stage of life that the person is at probably also has an influence, as would their past experiences.

I don't think how you act in a crisis determines what kind of person you are, though it may reveal some relevant information.

I'm more of the mind that what kind of person you are determines how you will act in a crisis. Though this is basically the same, I think this is a better way of framing it

It depends on the kind of crisis.

In sudden events I can focus and stay very calm.

In a slow burning crisis I can mentally implode in a serious way. I don't handle long term pressure very well at all.
