Jenny's iPersonic Type: The Laid-back Doer

Laid-back Doers like you are friendly, happy persons. You enjoy being together with other people. Smart, eloquent, witty and charming, you like to be the centre of attraction. You do not like to be alone. Your zest for life ensures that others feel well in your company and that you quickly get to know people. Laid-back Doers like you get the best out of every moment - many people of this type have a gift for making their whole life one big party. Boredom is unknown in your presence because you are very good at carrying others away with your enthusiasm, your good mood and your optimism.

Abstract thinking and profound philosophising about the meaning of life appeal less to Laid-back Doers. You are pragmatic, realistic and live completely in the here and now. At work too, you prefer it when it’s all go and you can act out your purposeful manner to the full. You have no problem handling several tasks at once and you blossom out in crisis situations. A varied field of activity with a lot of social contacts is just the right thing for you. One will also seldom find you inactive in your spare time; due to your open, curious nature, you have many hobbies and interests. You are not afraid of the unknown: as you are flexible and creative, you quickly adjust to new situations and make the best of them. You sometimes come into conflict with strict rules or hierarchies by which you quickly feel constrained and against which you rebel.

The Laid-back Doer is an extroverted Doer. You don’t enjoy being alone, but are a typical team worker instead. You would not stand working all by yourself. Dealing with other people, communicating as well as a friendly, collegial atmosphere is more important for you than for most of the other types. You love being part of a group where variety and the new are inspirational and exciting - so there are never enough social contacts.

For you, harmony is of central importance. You prefer a work environment without intrigues and political manipulation and where less elbow activities and confrontation, and more cooperation are the order of the day. Here is one of your major strengths: You are prepared to do a lot, mediate conflicts, reduce tensions, and are in top form when you are part of a positive working climate. To spread geniality and make peace among the worst troublemakers is often easy for you. Consequently, you are appreciated by colleagues and superiors, and have almost no problem getting along with the diverse people in your working environment.

Rather than too much routine and predictability, you need variety, and a certain amount of unpredictability as a part of your responsibilities at work. Your flexibility makes it easy for you to deal with several projects simultaneously. It does not bother you if the phone rings and somebody sticks his head through the door while you are in the middle of preparing a report. You juggle several activities synchronistically without a problem, and during your contacts with others you always remain friendly and obliging. It is a long time before one hears a cross word or any sign of excessive demand out of you. On the contrary, these situations are the icing on the cake for you, and without them your work is going to get boring in a hurry.
