One step further

These aren't things to fix. They're small habits that let your strengths work even better.

Pause one beat

Check the details once before pushing.

Numbers

Check the key figures and evidence

Digest feedback

Try taking criticism as growth

Priorities

Pick one thing out of everything you want to do

In different settings

The same person can look a little different depending on where they are.

With friends

"Is everyone here? Let's start!" They press the start button of any gathering, and often book the next one on the spot.

In group projects

They're the most excited when picking a topic and volunteer to present first. Promises made in the heat of the moment are worth tracking together later.

At home

Every weekend they're the first to ask "Where should we go?" A quiet weekend is the most boring thing for them.

Common misreadings

What people see isn't always what's going on inside.

"They're too impulsive to rely on"

They're quick to start, but they try hard to keep promises made to people. Writing plans down together makes them much more solid.

"They avoid serious talk"

Lifting the mood is a habit. Set aside time for a serious talk and they'll listen well.

Common questions

Q. Why do ID types only start things?
Their energy peaks at the start. Set a finish date and a partner and they wrap up well too.
Q. What if an ID type rushes ahead?
Point out just one thing: "Great, but let's settle this first." Too many corrections at once deflate them.
Q. How do I get along with an ID type?
Jump on board with new ideas. They trust the people who get excited with them.
