Alan KeyesHandwriting Analysis for Alan Keyes

Personal Dynamics

Although Alan tries to get others' opinions on matters outside his comfort level, he would like everyone to see him as independent and fully autonomous. When difficulties or obstacles pop up in his way, he quickly finds the path of least resistance, easing around the barrier and moving on toward his objective. He has the resilience to bounce back stronger than before. With a moderate degree of willpower at his command, Alan has the capacity to attain his dreams and aspirations if he keeps them at reasonable levels. Setting some short-term goals that he can see materializing fairly rapidly should encourage him to go on to the more ambitious ones. Alan normally can be counted on to finish what he starts. He has a moderate need for closure and does not like to leave things hanging. Although endowed with a moderate degree of initiative, Alan doesn't take the first step without considering the possible consequences. He wants to be sure that what he is about to do will not make him look foolish.

Motivating Forces

Alan does his best to maintain equilibrium and build a consensus, avoiding fights and arguments whenever possible. However, when his values or principles are called into question, you can expect him to come up with a sharp response. He can be original and creative to some degree, yet still conform to the established order of things. It is a balancing act, but he manages to carry it off. Contentedness with a steady routine balances a moderate need for space and freedom to plan his own activities.

Ego Strength

He wants others to see him in the best possible light. His sense of pride compels him to do his best, always. Yet, he doesn't have the kind of vanity that always puts him on the defensive when others say negative things about him. Although he starts out on a new undertaking with a great deal of enthusiasm, Alan may quickly experience doubts about his ability to realize his objectives. The decision to move forward or not rests on whether he sees early signs of success. He has acquired a set of standards and principles to live by; however, he is willing to make adjustments when it seems like the right thing to do. His personal set of principles is not so rigid that he would refuse to listen to someone else's viewpoint. He can be assertive when he needs to be, but is much happier working in a cooperative environment where everyone is amenable to making small compromises. His modest attitude is balanced by a reasonably good sense of self-esteem, which allows him to accept compliments gracefully. Alan can blend in or stand out, depending upon what is appropriate to the circumstances.

Defenses & Controls

Alan is quite hard on himself, and continually works at improving his performance. Owning material things increases his sense of security. It is not a matter of accumulating wealth for its own sake. Feeling that his material needs are well cared for is much more important. His need for privacy is about average. Alan keeps his comments to himself when it is advisable, but has no difficulty sharing information when he believes it is appropriate. Stability is important to him. He works hard to maintain the level of impulse control that will allow him to preserve structure in his environment. Yet, while level-headed in most circumstances, when the pressure is turned up high, he cannot always hold back from expressing his feelings.

Intellectual Functions

When the pressure is on, Alan is able to cope temporarily by escaping for a little while into pleasant daydreams. He does not lose touch with reality however, so his productivity is usually not impacted by those brief mental leaves of absence. An analytical thinker, he enjoys taking a problem apart and rearranging the parts into a more workable system. Examining the individual components seems to fascinate him even more than when they are all working together. His outlook is fairly reasonable and rational. He approaches problems with a combination of reality, tangible facts, and personal feelings. Alan wants things clear and settled rather than relying on less substantial intuition. A logical explanation and concrete facts give him a sense of being grounded. Yet, he does not entirely ignore his "sixth sense," or intuition.

Interpersonal Functions

Alan uses his sense of humor to defuse difficult situations. He recognizes the need for flexibility and a joke now and then. He has a balanced view of his place in the social structure, with respect for others' personal space. Since it is important to him to be well thought of by others, he does his best to be cooperative and adaptable without going overboard. Alan seems able to look at constructive criticism objectively, at least on the surface. Inside, though, he is wishing to be elsewhere. A moderate amount of resilience helps him bounce back from stressful events. If he is particularly stressed, it may take a little while longer, but sooner or later he is able to let go of painful experiences and move on. His effectiveness is diminished when it is discovered that he has been evasive or ambiguous. While he appears to be absolutely frank and candid in his communications, when you look back and reexamine the conversation, you cannot be entirely sure of what was meant. His sharp tongue may go well beyond what is acceptable when he is delivering a reprimand. Some private sense of guilt keeps him churning over every imagined infraction. It may not show on the outside, but he will not let up on himself for a moment. Alan doesn't need someone leaning over he shoulder, telling him what to do when he is his own worst critic. Alan is sure that others are saying nasty things about him. In response, he goes on the offensive, making a pre-emptive strike before someone else can attack. If something goes wrong and he is anywhere in the vicinity, he immediately goes on the offensive, just in case anyone is thinking of accusing him of involvement.

Communication Skills

At first he seems to be accommodating and see your viewpoint, then suddenly he drops the bombshell that it has to be all his way and there is no compromising. Moderately responsive in emotional situations, Alan feels free to express his feelings within reasonable boundaries. He has learned how to appropriately draw the line between expressing himself and restraint. He is compassionate, but does not let his feelings run away with him. He finds it hard to be completely frank and outspoken with his views. You might say he is more comfortable tempering his comments with a healthy dose of diplomacy.

Work Style

A strong work ethic prompts Alan to give his all, whether he is enjoying his assignment or not. He works hard, not letting up until the assignment is completed. Although he is able to work independently, he is also comfortable as a contributing member of the group. He enjoys participating with others, but needs some time and space to himself. He tends to express a safe, conservative viewpoint and is unwilling to buck the system unless something really dear to him is at stake. Alan is moderately resourceful, but prefers to stick to the more traditional methods of handling problems. Alan likes to know what is coming up ahead of time, but is not so tightly organized that he cannot handle last-minute changes.

Management Skills

Alan follows his gut instincts. He is alert and ready to take off on a new enterprise if it seems to have the slightest chance of succeeding, believing in the maxim "Success is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." Dealing with conflict is not Alan's favorite activity. He would probably rather sweep unpleasantness under the rug if possible, and hope it goes away by itself. When pushed, however, he can handle a certain amount.

Alan's CEO job match rating is 60.71%.
