Personality type: (From the ColourWorks / Insights model)
From The Colour Works (Insights) Personality Profile here is Lloyd's "Personal Style" introduction:
Simon is an ingenious and original problem solver. He is keen to pick out logical inconsistencies. He has scant interest in theories or speculation for their own sake. Simon's ability to focus on task suggests that he is a good problem solver. His ideas are generally abstract, containing intellectual insight, but he finds the practicalities of carrying out and developing these ideas to a conclusion less interesting.
He is not usually aware that he is denying himself pleasure; he is so preoccupied with what he “should” and “must” do that he rarely steps back to ask himself what he really wants in life. He sometimes feels less than adequate when he thinks of the effort of living up to his own high
standards of perfection. Work that doesn't involve intellectual stretch and the opportunity for mastery may soon become a drudgery for him. He seeks to achieve perfection in most everything he does. When pressured, he will be seen as critical, precise and sceptical.
His desire for privacy sometimes generates a vague feeling in others that there is an unlived life that may be passing him by. He values the development of his intellectual awareness and the opportunity to learn, improve and grow. He has the ability to complete most things he undertakes. Developing, fostering, improving and honing his skills is likely to be a life's work for him. He typically does not take constructive criticism and disagreement personally. He welcomes tough, accurate, unrelenting critiques as helpful in achieving the highest levels of performance and objectivity.
Simon's logical, analytical approach combined with his intuitive gifts allows him to maintain his focus on tasks and ideas rather than on the personal. Independent, logical and determined, he may work well with computers if this involves research or analysis. He is unlikely to be comfortable expressing his inner feelings to strangers. He prefers to be left to work quietly on his own, which is when he achieves his best work. He may appear more tolerant of others who prefer to operate in a moderate or controlled way.
He can be a veritable storehouse of information on the things he knows well and understands. Once committed to an idea or project, Simon has enormous resolve to carry it through and would like others to share his determination. Simon is a systematic and organised thinker, with highly developed analytical skills. Simon is logical and analytical, an ingenious thinker and long-range planner, and good at anything that requires rapid reasoning. Simon has an ever-present internal critic who judges everything he thinks and does.
Personal likes & dislikes:
I love autobiographies, science fiction films and Mexican food and have a particularly dislike of reality TV.
