Personal Dynamics

As long as he is not expected to fit into someone else's routine he is content to make his own way. With plenty of autonomy and the freedom to make his own decisions, you can count on him to produce superior work. Once Johnson sets his sights on a goal, he single-mindedly pours his energy into achieving it. He has the requisite determination and willpower to delay gratification until the time is right. Johnson prefers to take on projects that do not require a substantial investment of time and patience. He recognizes that he may not have enough endurance to last over the life of a long-term undertaking. Combining assertiveness with flexibility, in some circumstances Johnson will come on strong, but at other times he is quick to give in and adapt to the circumstances. It largely depends on the situation and his needs at the moment. When faced with obstacles, or a project becomes too routine and boring, he may be tempted to give up before completing the assignment. It will take some pats on the back and a few words of encouragement to get him back on track. When he has an opportunity to take the initiative, Johnson prefers to take enough time to back up his judgments with facts and figures before proceeding.

Motivating Forces

Johnson is a peace-lover who prefers to negotiate a settlement when there is disagreement, rather than fight it out, if that is a possibility. If it is not, he will do what he can to quickly resolve the situation and get things back to normal. The aesthetic and artistic side of his nature is a great personal asset. When he allows himself the time and space to express these talents, he can find great satisfaction in them. He is probably most productive when working on a flexible schedule. His need for autonomy and freedom is not excessive, but some latitude makes him feel that he has some choices.

Ego Strength

When Johnson feels his behavior isn't meeting the standards of his social group, he is apt to consider whether making some adjustments would be a good thing to do. If he sees areas where change might benefit him he takes the necessary steps. He asserts himself when absolutely necessary, but his first choice is to create mutually beneficial situations where everyone is satisfied. If all do not notice his accomplishments, it does not trouble him. A personal sense of pride is enough reward for him. He may not go out of his way to gain recognition, but neither is he too shy to go before a group and make a presentation. Johnson feels confident in familiar situations, dealing with people he knows. But even in circumstances where he feels out of his depth, apprehension does not stop him from venturing forward. Although Johnson does not expend much effort on drawing attention to himself, neither does he shun it when it comes to him.

Defenses & Controls

He might sometimes engage in gossip or chatty conversation, but Johnson typically can be trusted with secrets. His primary focus is on more than just material gain. Money and possessions mean less to him than looking successful. Johnson takes pride in doing a good job but is not compulsive about perfecting every detail. He is content just to be finished on time and without a problem. 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

Down to earth and reasonably consistent in his behavior, he takes the time to reason things out before reaching a conclusion. It is important to him to cover all the bases with contingency planning. He enjoys investigating new possibilities, methods and techniques. A good problem-solver, he applies both creative and analytical processes to find solutions to difficult questions. When standard methods are not working for him he uses his imagination to invent more effective ways of dealing with problems. Despite his propensity for fact-finding, more often than not, he finds that information initially gleaned through his intuitive processes was correct.

Interpersonal Functions

Johnson has a sense of humor and enjoys a good joke with the best of them. When meeting someone new, making the first move and offering the hand of friendship is not as easy for Johnson as it is for some. However, his natural charm and warmth soon take over and he becomes more congenial. Johnson 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.

Communication Skills

Johnson responds warmly when asked about the things and people he really cares about. Yet, while he is not liable to bring them up of his own accord, it is not hard to draw him out with a little effort. 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

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. Dependable and conscientious, Johnson does what is required of him. He may not go beyond what is expected, but you can usually count on him to contribute what he ought. He might prefer things to stay the same, but he understands that progress includes change. When presented with a flexible framework of rules and regulations on which to rely, and time to assimilate changes Johnson can move ahead with a sense of security. Johnson 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

He is comfortable with a leadership role, as long as it is not too demanding. Due to a tendency to adhere to the status quo, Johnson may have some trouble dealing with conflict. He may ignore the problem and hope it will go away on its own. Especially if there is no specific written policy guideline for him to follow, he is likely to procrastinate taking action. When Johnson is in familiar surroundings, performing familiar tasks, he usually trusts his instincts. However, if he tries something new and it does not work out well, it may be a while before he gets up the nerve to try it again, but try again he will.
