Shape Personality Type Profile

THE RECTANGLE/BOX COMBINATION

When forced to work in a team, your role is the gate-keeper and you often end up doing much of the work for others. Although you enjoy the camaraderie of the teamwork, you would really prefer to work alone.

When feeling stressed, you are likely to withdraw and become isolated. Both you and your office are neat and clean. Your wardrobe is more functional than decorative and you prefer muted, solid colors such as grey.

If you are considering a position in upper management, give this a great deal of thought. You are a perfectionistic loner and could make your subordinates miserable. You are best placed in a highly technical or administrative position in which you have control over your own work and an occasional team project. You would struggle in a direct sales position.

At leisure: At home, you are very committed to your mate and protective of your family. You are old-fashioned when it comes to traditional family values. You do not believe in divorce and expect a clean and efficient household in which tasks are equitably shared. You are patriotic and likely to attend church on a regular basis.

Your friends are few, but they are very lucky to call you friend because, to you, friends are like family. They know that they can always trust your word and, when the chips are down, you will not desert them. In your leisure time you enjoy the musical classics (from rock to Bach); reading preferences lean to history and biography; hobbies often include woodworking projects. You are a meticulous collector; whatever you collect will support you in your old age...along with your substantial savings.

Talking straight...
Lately, you have NOT been yourself! Something has happened in your life to cause you to question yourself. You are going through a difficult period right now. Your choice of the Rectangle indicates that you are in transition. You are experiencing great internal changes. You may feel that the old ways of behaving (as described above) are not working for you anymore. But...you do not yet know how to fix the problem. You are searching, questioning, exploring and generally feeling very confused.

Everyone experiences Rectangular periods in their lives. There is usually an identifiable cause. Some event/person/situation has provoked these feelings in you. Typically, the Rectangle emerges within us when a critical life event occurs; i.e.job change, relocation, promotion/demotion, marriage, divorce, loss of child/parent, physical accident/illness. You are forced to cope with this new life circumstance.

The Good News is that this period of stress and change will pass...it is temporary! And, when you come out at the other end of the tunnel, you will be a better person for it; you will be wiser and more tolerant of others. These are admirable qualities that your Box was missing!

Today's TIP!...
Enjoy this period of personal growth! Step outside of yourself today and take a look at the new person you are becoming. This is EXCITING!
