CO; Murie J. But their ability to inspire people with their enthusiasm and their idealism has given them influence far beyond their numbers. Although all Idealists share core characteristics, not all of them are the same. In Keirsey's observations, he noted that there were four kinds of Idealists. Teachers have a natural talent for leading students or trainees toward learning, or as Idealists like to think of it, they are capable of calling forth each learner's potentials. But perhaps their greatest strength lies in their belief in their students.
Teachers look for the best in their students, and communicate clearly that each one has untold potential, and this confidence can inspire their students to grow and develop more than they ever thought possible. Counselors have an exceptionally strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others, and find great personal fulfillment interacting with people, nurturing their personal development, guiding them to realize their human potential. Although they are happy working at jobs such as writing that require solitude and close attention, Counselors do quite well with individuals or groups of people, provided that the personal interactions are not superficial, and that they find some quiet, private time every now and then to recharge their batteries.
Champions are rather rare, say three or four percent of the population, but even more than the others they consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life.
Champions have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. Altruism — The well-being of others, including their own, is of primary importance. Positives We are drawn to the Idealist because: They will go out of their way to help people, and not just their friends. They can intuitively and accurately sense what motivates and excites people, and will take action to support individuals in their endeavors.
Wherever they are, they bring compassion and understanding with them. Helping and seeing others succeed brings them joy. Negatives No one is perfect, and Idealists also have their flaws: They can come across as trouble-makers because they will break the rules if they find it restricts their creativity.
Their tendency to seek the truth and express themselves metaphorically might make them seem as nothing but impractical intellectuals. It can appear like Idealists live in a fantasy world where bad things rarely happen, making them seem unaffected by the harsher realities of life. Ultimately, this makes them unhappy.
Their need for privacy may make them seem aloof and uncaring, but they find it helps them to better contemplate and stay in touch with their idealistic thoughts. How Do I Deal with an Idealist? Idealists value personal authenticity and expect everyone to do the same.
They can get frustrated when they perceive that others are not taking action to develop their potential or change unfavourable circumstances. Sometimes Idealists need reminding to slow down, and that everyone develops at their own pace. Once the idea has been pitched, their perceived work is done. The laws of attraction have already guided them onto the next shiny object, sometimes leaving the details of the current project incomplete.
Be aware they may not be able to carry these ideas to completion—at least not in detail. These guys are great at trouble shooting unexpected situations, say, negotiating a "customs charge" out of Kazakhstan.
The Rational: Adventure is the result of poor planning. I recently schemed an idea to traverse Idaho by bike, pack raft and foot. I'm an ideas guy—with a big picture sort of view—so I thought it wise to invite a friend who lives in the details to look at my proposed mile route. Jason is an ER doc and an adventure racer with giant quads which fits his fashion preference for scrubs and Lycra. He immediately turned to the maps, highlighting potential pitfalls in my "plan.
The Rationals have a no-nonsense, logical approach to decision making—either the plan is going to work, or it isn't. If the latter, don't expect them to buy into the pipe-dream unless you can provide data to support the contrary. When the proverbial hits the fan, though, they maybe caught off guard. Troubleshooting is akin to a lack of planning. To counterbalance, they are meticulous thinkers and may constantly be offering up plans c, d and e…just in case.
The Guardian: Adventure is to be prepared. I was a Boy Scout—there, I said it in public. Before my first weekend trip, my patrol leader, John, handed me a tin Band-Aid box aging myself here. John thought it wise to send each member into the wild with a home-made survival kit, packed with enough supplies for Bear Grylls to winter in the Cascades.
Among his ten essentials were an FAA approved signal guidebook, a Slim Jim, enough twine to snare a wildebeest, and a quarter to make a call in case we wondered off to, say, Folsom? John was the quintessential Guardian. Guardians are conservative on change but didactic in preparation. Their systematic approach to process can be perceived as pedestrian by some, and their work ethic and obsessive mindfulness of time lines might walk on those who prefer to mix it up.
In times of change, this person will be antsy until a decision is made. But expect support once a direction has been chosen. Guardians know the rules and why following them is smart. He thrives planning meals and logistics.
