The Personality Compass
When some companies hire new workers, they look for
people with certain kinds of personalities for certain Jobs. Fortunately there
is a test that helps these companies do this. It is called the Personality
Compass divides people into four basic types: Norths, Souths, Easts, and Wests.
Norths are
leaders. They work very hard to reach their goals. They often have strong
opinions. They are so confident and independent that they can make decisions quickly.Ther
motto is “Get the job done fast”.
Souths work
best when they work with others. They are good team players because they
understand the needs of others. They are also good listeners, and they are
almost always patient and helpful. Their motto is “Build the best teams.”
Easts are
such perfectionists that they always want to do everything right. They always
plan very carefully. They are very organized and logical, and they work
extremely hard. They prefer to work in a structured environment because they
are good rule-followers. Their motto is “Do it right the first time”
Wests are
natural risk-takers; they are not afraid to take chances. Wests are often very
creative. They are also flexible so they don’t mind changing a plan after they
have begun to work. They work very enthusiastically, especially on new
projects. Their motto is “Don’t be afraid to try something new today”.
Everyone has
some characteristics from all four types, but one type is usually stronger than
the others. It is also very common for some people to Have both a primary
personality type and a secondary on. In other words, they are not “true” Norths
or Souths, for example, but are instead “Northwests” or “Southeasts” However,
since North-South and East-West are opposites, it is impossible for one person
to have those combinations. Reread the descriptions. Which personality type are
you?!
