I Am a Person Who…<br />

HAS THESE FAVORITE KINDS OF PEOPLE<br />

My Preferred Kinds of People to Work Beside or<br />

Serve<br />

Goal in Filling Out This Petal: To avoid past bad experiences with people at<br />

work, since who (er, whom) you work with can either make the job delightful, or<br />

ruin your day, your week, your year.<br />

<strong>What</strong> You Are Looking For: (1) A better picture in your mind of what kind of<br />

people surrounding you at work will enable you to operate at your highest and<br />

most effective level. (2) A better picture in your mind of what kind of people you<br />

would most like to serve or help: defined <strong>by</strong> age, problems, geography, and so<br />

forth.<br />

Form of the Entries on <strong>Your</strong> Petal: They can be adjectives describing different<br />

kinds of people (“kind,” “patient”) or they can be types of people, as in the<br />

“Holland Code” or “Myers-Briggs” typologies (see this page–this page and this<br />

page, respectively).<br />

Example of a Good Petal: Holland Code: IAS. (1) Kind, generous,<br />

understanding, fun, smart. (2) The unemployed, people struggling with their<br />

faith, worldwide, all ages.<br />

Example of a Bad Petal: People in trouble, young, smart, in urban settings.<br />

Why Bad: Not much help. Too vague.
