You Know Me, Just An "Id"

AAAAbbbbbbbbsssssssooollluuutttttteeeeeellllllyyyyyyy an "Id" personality. I was absolutely amazed with how close this experiment came to gauging what type of individuals we are. Some may disagree, but for the majority of us that I spoke to about the experiment, felt that it set-up a general stereotype on which we could base a good judgement on what type of individuals we are. I love who I am and understand that no one is the same. Therefore, I don't think being one is generally better than the other, just better at certain things. I had a partner in the mortgage industry that was the exact opposite of myself, more of a "C" personality, in which when we teamed up and made more money for that time period than both of us working together than we ever made separately. I don't think it is all about changing anyone to become different, just making individuals better at what they are naturally good at. My partner was more the number cruncher, he enjoyed processing and underwriting. I, the opposite, enjoyed talking to clients and the whole "selling" aspect of the business. When he tried to change who he naturally was instead of just being himself, it didn't work and vice versa for myself. "I do me and you do you" was basically our motto. So I do think it is important to determine people's management "types" because it better helps us understand who we are and refine the skills that we are naturally good at. Also, from the hiring perspective you can determine which employees are better for which positions instead of wasting time with figuring it out with trial and error. In personal relationships, I don't think it is necessarily a good determinant, people can be any type of personality and hang out with one another. I think sense of humor is a better determinant for whom certain people are better suited to be around with. Regardless, good experiment and even better lesson!!!
