PRACTICAL
Realistic • Sensible
How you gather and use Information
As a realistic person, facts and common sense drive your understanding of the world. Abstract theories don't interest you much.
You keep things simple, with a firm grip on the concrete. So you focus on what's happening in the world, rather than inner thoughts or feelings.
Tried and true methods are your guide, and routine offers predictability. You find sensible, clear-cut answers to apply right away.
Your preference for action, rather than introspection, helps you get on with things.
Yet there are limits to this conventional approach.
Your tendency to simplify means you may miss deeper explanations and new possibilities. But a focus on what’s worked in the past gives you certainty and confidence.
⚙️ You are motivated to get real-world results, and you do just that. The fundamental belief that things should stay the same informs your thoughts and instructs your actions. Peers may see you as the conventional tactician, always bringing a sensible focus to tasks and projects. Apply your strengths by being Practical:
1. Look to the past for guidance
Honor time-tested principles that have served you before, and rely on them to inform your next direction.
2. Focus on the task at hand
You don't overcomplicate jobs, so take immediate action to move them forward.
3. Keep others focused on what's working
Within groups you contribute stable and certain ideas, sharing clear-cut solutions from experience.
4. Stick with efficient routines
Follow established guidelines and procedures and you'll get reliable outcomes.
5. Lead with actionable perspectives
When uncertainty strikes, you find a path forward with people and tactics that have proven successful before.
💡 Adapt by being Open
Being Practical has its limits. You risk becoming rigid if you never change. Using outdated methods can be a weakness if you get left behind.
The solution is to adapt. Consider when to be more curious, and creative. What can you learn from tapping into your own Openness, or working with Open people?
The world is an ever-changing place, but your Practical nature assures stability for yourself and others. Apply your Practical strengths as much as possible, but adapt when needed by using a more Open approach and surprise yourself with what new opportunities emerge!
