Personal Dynamics

When she is really interested in an activity or a project, you can expect her to pursue it conscientiously. However, when things begin to drag on too long and a dull routine sets in, she may cut back on her efforts or try to rush through the project to get it finished. Her ability to make necessary adjustments in a variety of circumstances indicates a certain amount of independence and autonomy. She has the capacity to act in cooperation with others or independently, depending on the situation. Certainly, there are times when people will try to take advantage of Fargo's good nature, but though she is able to adapt to various personality types; she is no pushover. She sets clear boundaries and knows when to say "no." She can normally be expected to see a project all the way through to completion unless it begins to drag on, at which point she tends to lose her patience. She probably will finish the job, but may be moody and irritable until it is done. Allowing her instincts to guide her when opportunities arise usually serves her well. When she is comfortable in a situation, it is easy for her to take the initiative.

Motivating Forces

Her original approach allows her to find creative ways of handling problems, rather than following a more traditional path. While a pleasant, harmonious environment is probably Fargo's first choice; she can deal with a moderate amount of dissonance. The main point is - it shouldn't continue for too long. Fargo has a moderate need for freedom. She can make a commitment to a course of action or a relationship, but the arrangement also needs to include some freedom to do her own thing from time to time.

Ego Strength

Her public reputation is important to her and she does her best to protect it. However, her sense of pride aside, she is also fairly independent of others' evaluations. That means, when she comes under attack, she does not always feel called upon to defend her good name. She has a well-enough developed self-image to know when to focus on getting her own needs met, but she has also learned when it is appropriate to put her needs aside in favor of helping someone who deserves it. Fargo goes about her business with a minimum of fuss and fanfare. Discomfited when all eyes are on her, she feels more at-ease in a supported position than alone out front. Her level of integrity seems to be about average. Fargo won't push too hard for her rights, unless doing nothing would substantially interfere with her comfort. She prefers not to have to assert herself when a more cooperative spirit works for her. Instead of being crushed by mistakes or disagreeable events in her life, she uses them as building blocks to increase her self-confidence and dignity.

Defenses & Controls

She is not possessive or jealous. Owning things is not her primary goal in life. In fact, she has a more or less casual attitude about ownership. Fargo can keep a secret when it is really important, but it may be better not to open her up to temptation, just in case. She might inadvertently let something slip, and then she'd feel just terrible. Image is not a top priority for Fargo. She wants things to be well done, but is not overly concerned about what others think of her efforts. As long as she knows she has done her best, that's good enough for her. She is basically an emotionally responsive person who makes an effort to contain her impulses until the time is right to express them. In high-stress situations, however, her self-control wavers and may crumble if the pressure is turned up enough.

Intellectual Functions

Her outlook is fairly reasonable and rational. She approaches problems with a combination of reality, tangible facts, and personal feelings. Typically, she is satisfied to accept current operational philosophy, rather than spending a lot of time investigating further on her own. Although she may not fully understand the need of some people to minutely analyze each fact, however, when analysis is called for, she has the capacity to make the necessary evaluation. Probably more pragmatic than idealistic, she mostly sticks to what she knows. When that is not effective enough she is capable of calling on her ingenuity to help solve problems. Fargo wants things clear and settled rather than relying on less substantial intuition. A logical explanation and concrete facts give her a sense of being grounded. Yet, she does not entirely ignore her "gut feeling" or intuition.

Interpersonal Functions

A source of warmth and support in her relationships, Fargo has a talent for making other people feel wanted and appreciated. She seems to get an instant grip on how others are feeling and is able to identify with them as individuals. She recognizes when offering a helping hand is appropriate and when it is better to stand back. Even though her heart may be saying one thing, her head tells her the degree of sensitivity that is called for. She maintains a fairly even emotional keel and is consistent in her responses. When bad things happen she is able to bounce back from them in a reasonable amount of time.

Communication Skills

She is an emotionally responsive individual, quick to react internally, but slower to act upon the feeling. There is a fine balance between expression and self-control which Fargo seems to have achieved. She is not the sort to bluntly say what is on her mind without first considering to whom she is talking. If she knows the other person is very sensitive she will usually be more diplomatic.

Work Style

She values supportive team-members, as well as finding opportunities to be supportive of others. She wants everyone to like each other, and when they do, she finds it easier to be a contributing member of the group. Her work ethic carries her through the requirements of the day, but not too much beyond that. She has a balanced view of work and playtime, and makes the most of each at the proper time. She does not resist change entirely, but it takes her some time to assimilate alternate ways of doing things. When she must, she leaves things open-ended, to allow for last minute changes. But her preference would be to have everything wrapped up and handled. Fargo loosely structures her time, leaving ample room for adjustments as the day progresses and things develop.

Management Skills

Her innate ability to create structure and order out of chaos encourages others to look to her for direction. She is not someone who just lets things happen on their own--she makes them happen! Fargo's style of conflict resolution is to go by the book. She may miss seeing the whole picture because she is so concerned with making sure she adheres to company policy. Consequently, she tends to ignore the personalities involved, in favor of the "letter of the law." When she has the right knowledge and equipment to operate effectively, you can expect her to do a good job without constant supervision. She has a sense of purpose and aspires to complete what she starts.
