Last night was our first time back with our small group in quite a while...good to get over the hump of the last time...good to get back...
Of course we had missed out on a lot - we knew we were coming in behind - and lucky for us, it didn't matter! Instead of going back to our book, we watched a very funny and interesting video on different personality types.
What is funny is that between Brian and myself, our types were not a surprise to us - but when put in the context of our children...well, Nicholas is still Brian, and Nathan is still me - all the way!!
LIONS (Michelle & Nathan):
take charge, go for it, decisive/easy to make decisions, leader, visionary, aggressive, "the boss", time from is NOW. In Communication: no chit-chat/give me the facts, asking ?s to Lions comes across as challenging them. Things to Learn: people are more important than projects, it's ok to relax, increase communication level.
GOLDEN RETRIEVERS (Brian & Nicholas):
sensitive, supportive, nurturing, can absorb the most emotional pain, can't say no, great listeners, desire deep relationships, carry the emotional weight of others, wallflower
...other types were...
OTTER:
parties waiting to happen, love to talk/very verbal, love being with people, great net workers, talk to everyone, love to have fun, don't mind being late, motivators, encourages, enthusiastic, not into details, Common Phrase - "Lighten up!" Things to Learn: deadlines aren't guidelines, don't be so optimistic that you miss issues to be addressed
BEAVER:
reads instructions, "lets do it right" attitude, persistent, enjoys and looks forward to quiet times, team player, good follow through
So, not new to us...but interesting none the less!
Also interesting was this phrase: Your weakness' are your strengths pushed to the extreme.
Very true...and something to think about when my spouce is annoying me (or the other way around!)...what I truly love about him is what drives me nuts!
Ahhh...that's love!
