My primary thinking style with the highest percentile is being competitive at 99 percentile. I actually never realized this aspect about my thinking style but now it all makes sense. In the past I have been so busy winning and showing other people losing that I totally forgot to pay attention on my own performance, I guess glory isn’t that important, what really important is how I achieved it. At home, I’ll always be busy competing with the siblings and at work I was always comparing myself to others, hence not paying attention on my performance.
My Secondary thinking style is my Affiliative thinking style at 96 percentile. I totally agree with this as I do pay a lot of emphasis on relationships. I am very warm and open about meeting and interacting with new people from different cultural backgrounds and have a keen interest in learning different languages. This thinking style helped me develop good interpersonal skills. At home I have great relationship with my parents and siblings. At work I am always deemed as the favorite manager I am very understanding and friendly.
My limiting thinking style would be avoidance-thinking style; I believe instead of dealing with the problems I usually walk away from them, which is not a good trait. A problem must be solved instead of letting it lingering in the back of your mind.
I may be overly hard on myself. When I make a mistake, it is especially difficult for myself to forgive myself and move on. This can result in a fear of failure, and the feeling that I must avoid situations that carry the risk of personal defeat. I typically refrain from examining and expressing feelings, which could signal a more general pattern of withdrawal.
For example in the past I have turned small problems into huge problems overtime since I didn’t feel like tackling them then and there. I had relationship
