About me

Your Chance to Know Grace More!

Challenger

LOO is motivated by her ability to lead groups and influence others around her. She is someone who takes the responsibility of leadership seriously when it is given to her, and is typically able to make important decisions without delay. She exudes confidence and others respond to LOO's natural ability to be a front runner.

Neat and orderly, others usually see LOO as practical. She needs adequate information to make decisions, and she will consider the pros and cons. She may be sensitive to criticism, and will tend to internalize her emotions. LOO likes to clarify expectations before undertaking new projects, and she will follow a logical process to gain successful results.

LOO takes a flexible approach in her dealings with others and she is willing to pursue different avenues to maintain good relationships. While she is patient and will not usually rush, LOO is not afraid to actively seek new solutions if previous methods do not fit the current situation.

LOO prefers a rational and moderate approach when first entering new situations and tries to avoid extremes. She likes the company of others, but LOO is equally comfortable spending a quiet evening alone. She is a realist who will always weigh her options before she makes a decision to move ahead.

Challengers are people who are sensitive to problems, and creativity characterizes them. They can complete significant tasks in very little time due to their strong resolve. They are determined and can possibly have high intelligence combined with quick reactions. They pursue all possible avenues when searching for a solution to a problem. They display a lot of foresightedness in focusing on projects. Their drive for tangible results is counterbalanced by equal striving for correctness. They are perfectionistic and can vacillate in decision making. Challengers may lack social poise and be cool and blunt. They prefer working alone and resent restrictions. They tend to be quiet and do not trust easily. They do not have compassion for those who do not follow what they believe to be as the right way. Easily bored with routine responsibilities, they need to work on new projects. Challengers tend to ignore the emotional side to people; they need to develop warmness in their social relationships. They need to learn cooperation with team members and to be patient with others’ opinions and work styles. Task oriented and driven by results, Challengers do not get emotionally involved when discussing issues with people. They are creative and think ahead to what they will do next and how decisions may effect what happens next. They are inquisitive and like to have details and facts about the unfamiliar.

LOO 's Strengths in Leadership:

INFLUENCING
You are always considered when a leader is needed. You have great strengths, and know that you posses wonderful insight into systems and people. Others are willing to follow you because of your charisma and enthusiasm. While sometimes seeming a bit assertive, your optimism and warmth soon have others remembering how important you are to the team..

DIRECTING
You were probably just selected to oversee yet another project, especially one that has a tight deadline. Your team values your work ethic. You may appear a bit distant at times, but your attention to detail and your inner drive causes others to respect you and to see the great value you add to the team. But learn to take time to get to know other team members; time invested in relationships is not time wasted.

PROCESSING
Hands on and following through, you inspire others to be as conscientious as you are. You are the type that others rely on to make the team look good because of your work ethic and follow through. You may have a hard time delegating at times, but you are able to do so when necessary. Others see you as loyal and caring, a real team player

DETAILING
You are often asked to help out others in a group or a team because you can assist them in finding potential limitations in their plan. You make sure that everyone dots the I's and crosses the T's; you are a natural at putting the finishing touches on projects. Others wish they had your analytical mind and thought process. Your surroundings are neat and efficient, and you appreciate when others follow suit.

CREATING
You stick to what you know will work and try not to overextend into new arenas. Try to be open to others ideas and help do the little things that will make others feel more comfortable working with you.

PERSISTING
You are one that can work through problems that would sidetrack others. You have developed a focused approach that will not be diverted. You are wonderful at staying on-task and are self-motivated. You are able to stick to the mission. You have perseverance that others wish they had. Take time to say the little things that will make others know you care about them.

RELATING
Your popularity may be declining because others do not see you following through on what you say you will do. Others may see you as disorganized and too spontaneous. You talk the talk, but do you walk the walk? Make sure you do not promise or volunteer for more things than you can easily expect to complete.

Took a personality test for the CDS and I think this so far the only one I agree with almost totally. So, here you go.. Your chance to know me more.
