What were you like in high school?
In high school, I was the student who was really good at public speaking, and was quite persuasive in my speaking, yet could still appeal to people's hearts and sometimes be very entertaining in my speaking as well. I was an excellent student, in NHS, and much of an overachiever as well. I was not part of the "in" crowd
What is your greatest fear? What do you do to address it?
My greatest fear is that I won't live up to the vision I have for myself. I address that, by not making my vision too lofty. I try not to be a perfectionist, but it's hard
Was there a time in your life where you felt you hit rock bottom? What was the situation behind it?
I don't hit rock bottom. I'm a constant achiever, constantly moving forward
Where would you put yourself on the social spectrum, and why?
Extroverted, for sure. I'm always talking, and always doing most of it.
What are some things that really bother you?
People, who are disrespectful to the people who care about me, bother me the most.
What, would you say, are your biggest strengths?
Some of my strengths are being efficient, reliable, and getting things done. Yet at the same time, I can also be loving and compassionate. Don't ask me how I do that. I couldn't tell you
What, would you say, are your biggest weaknesses?
I'm not very patient, and I have haughtiness and arrogance that drives others up the wall. I really try not to be that way. It's hard
When you switch your attitude between introverted and extroverted, or vise versa, what are you like?
I can't say I've ever done that. I'd almost say I'm a super extovert
What was the hardest thing you ever had to do? Why was it so hard?
The hardest thing I ever had to do was admit I can't be good at everything. This was hard, because I'm an overachiever, and I want to be successful at everything I do, and become good at everything I learn
What are you like when you're sad?
I can't remember the last time I was sad. It was a long, long time ago
How masculine/feminine do you feel in relation to others of your gender?
I'd say average. I'm not exactly big, strong and athletic. But I'm certainly not a pansy either.
Here's 4 focuses you can have in life: tasks, people, objects and ideas. Which one would be your primary focus and why? Which one would be your secondary focus and why?
My first focus is tasks. Iam definitely focused on completing tasks and achievement. As far as number two, I'm kind of torn between objects and people. I'm very practical, down to earth, and like tangible objects, that I can observe with my senses. I'm not going to believe something unless I can see it with my own eyes. At the same time, I love being well known in my community, having lots of people looking up to me as a leader, and me leading them in a loving and kind, fair and just way
What do you do to have fun?
Sometimes, I just have to take a break from all this hard work. It's hard for me to do, but I've found it very good to take a break from time to time, and just relax and unwind. I usually take these breaks as a vacation with my wife and children
What was the nicest thing you ever did for someone, and why did you do it?
I think the nicest thing I ever did was stand up for the Caribbean creole community that we have in our neighborhood. I am a creole myself, and I canvery clearly see our issues. I think a lot of my neighbors in the community appreciate how I've stood up for them in the past. I do it partially driven by compassion, and partially from my desire to be a leader
Thanks, Ariel, for sharing with us
An interesting thing about Ariel: when I was doing his function analysis, I can't remember which, but I found either 7 or 8 of the 8 functions in his analysis. So I was wondering if he was more than one type, or if he was an undifferentiated attitude. (I can usually only find 6 functions in the analysis of people who are more than one type), so I pretended to be Ariel, and took the IDR labs function test, which uses the actual Jungian functions, and does not use the Grant stack. Here is a graphic representation of the results, showing what function test results look like, probably for most of these "more than one type " people I'm finding:
Notice how in these "more than one type " people, the dominant and auxiliary for each type are all in a row, and the auxiliary of the primary type also serves as the dominant for the secondary type!😯 Also notice how the last 2 functions are the pole of the secondary type and the pole of the primary type! 😳 Interesting!
I'd say the function test results probably would look similar for all the other "more than one type " profiles I discussed. I will pin those below, so you can refer to them, and compare and contrast the "more than one type " folks
Additional typologies I've been able to do on Ariel since:
Big 5: low O and N, 50/50 C and A, high E (SCxxN)
Enneagram: 3w2, so/sx , 361
Greek Temperament Blend: Choleric/Phlegmatic
