Are you misunderstood?

Everyone is misunderstood at some point. This happens because we are typically judged on our behavior – not our intentions. And our intentions are always good…right?


So what are the biggest misperceptions based on style?

High D – Most people assume High D’s feel no fear. They are known to be big risk takers. However, most have just learned to act in the face of fear. They subscribe to the philosophy, “Feel the fear and do it anyway.”

High I – Aren’t High I’s happy and bubbly all of the time? As soon as a High I is quiet, people will be asking them “What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Even the highest I’s need to have their downtime.

High S – People make the mistake of assuming that High S’s are wimpy or weak. Big mistake! Just think of some of the most notable High S’s and judge for yourself: Gandhi, Tiger Woods, Kevin Costner, and Bill Gates.

High C – There is a misperception that High C’s are never silly or fun. While it may not be their normal modus operandi, when they are comfortable and with friends or family, they can be just as goofy as the rest of us!
