THE RECTANGLE PERSON

Despite all the clutter left on their desk, the Rectangle carries their work around with them, nearly always with a bag or two clutched in their hands.

Rectangles aren't necessarily 100% certain where their future will take them and are not sure if they want to stay in permanent employment or move into the big wide world of freelancing. This lack of focus and great deal of indecision and inconsistency (not to mention that they are very forgetful, often misplacing items or forgetting important documentation), means that there is almost always several items waiting to be properly filed away. It has been said that the only predictable thing about a Rectangle is that they are unpredictable!

The uncertainty of their future makes them a good candidate for contracting or working from home. When they are not in the workplace they can usually be found in the local drinking establishment contemplating which way to turn.

It is not only their future that Rectangles are unsure about. It may often seem that they flit from Shape to Shape almost daily as they try them on for size and see which they like the best. Rectangles are essentially in a "state of transition" and are very unreliable as a result of this changeable nature. They can also be very much on-edge and are not always sure in what way to behave. So much so that someone who does not know why the Rectangle acts in such a way may view them as somewhat crazy.

The Rectangle's office also indicates the "internal conflicts" that they undergo. For example, documents meant for the out-tray may be found in the in-tray and vice-versa. They also have a tendency to put important memos in the bin and, keep personal items in full view. Rectangles who have their own office are usually extremely proud of this fact.

Rectangles are highly inquisitive and courageous during their periods of change and will often try new things. However, they are also very suggestible and prone to manipulation during such times. This is something that the Rectangle must guard against. This may be one reason why the Rectangle prefers to stay in large groups as in such an environment they can essentially 'hide' and avoid one-to-one interaction. They have an inherent "fear of being put on the spot."
