One step further

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

Say what you think

State your view instead of going along

A step toward change

Put one foot into something new

Practice saying no

Draw a gentle line on unreasonable requests

Decide faster

Make small decisions quickly instead of postponing

In different settings

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

With friends

Rather than picking the place and time, they make sure everyone's comfortable with it. They're the steady member who's always there.

In group projects

They may not be quick, but they deliver everything they took on. A sudden change of direction is the hardest thing for them.

At home

When someone at home is struggling, they quietly stay close. They like familiar routines.

Common misreadings

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

"They're passive"

They don't push to the front, but they own what they take on. When things wobble, they're usually the one keeping everyone steady.

"They hate change"

It's sudden change that's hard, not change itself. With notice and time, they come along well.

Common questions

Q. Why can't S types say no?
They worry it'll hurt the relationship. Saying "It's totally fine to say no" first makes them much more honest.
Q. How do I suggest something new to an S type?
Say what changes and what stays, and give them time to think. Even a day makes a difference.
Q. How do I get along with an S type?
Notice the things they do consistently. They trust the people who see their quiet effort.
