Friendly people love to talk - communication is the strongest element of this style. They are outgoing and extrovert, but they find it far from easy to concentrate on mundane tasks, and are easily distracted from such work by the opportunity for social interaction. Friendliness is a very positive (if not always very practical) sub-trait: individuals showing this aspect in their behaviour are typically warm, open and genuinely interested in others. In common with all High-I profiles, they enjoy being the centre of attention, but in this particular case they are also interested in others' feelings and ideas, especially where the profile exhibits a high Steadiness score. Friendly individuals typically display a confident style, especially in circumstances where they feel comfortable and accepted. Despite this confidence, though, they are not particularly assertive - their low level of Dominance makes it difficult for them to be effective in pressurised or confrontational situations. |
