Wonderful, one question down, one more to go...

Question Two:
 
Is the person primarily impulsive, or primarily tentative?

What is impulsive? Impulsive people are fast-paced and very direct. They talk fast; they move fast; they think quickly; they act impulsively; they express themselves easily and directly. Impulsive people have a tremendous-inner need to get things done. Impulsive people usually greet others directly with statements like, “Come in, sit down, have a drink.” They like to start conversations with, "What do you need?" Remember, impulsive people have a tremendous inner need to get things done.

What is tentative? Tentative people are slower-paced and very indirect. They talk slower; they think cautiously; they move carefully; they speak prudently; they hesitate before taking action. Tentative people have a tremendous inner-need to get things right. Tentative people tend to ask, “Would you like to come in? Would you care to sit down? Can I get you a drink?” They like to start conversations with, "How have you been?" Remember, tentative people have a tremendous inner need to get things right.

Can't decide? Again, you might need to compensate for the behavioral masks that we are all taught to wear, so try to imagine this person as he or she would have been in kindergarten. In other words, before they learned the pain of feeling foolish, did they instantly jump into anything that they found interesting, or did they prefer to watch before attempting? Did they learn about mistakes by making them, or did they learn about mistakes by watching others make them?
