After you have done the StärkenTest®,
many things will be clearer to you.

One man Band – Maker

This person, stands in contrast to the friend type. This person puts himself first in the foreground. No matter in which situation, his subconscious checks which advantages and disadvantages arise. Depending on the characteristics, these people also come across as arrogant, sometimes even unapproachable. They are cautious about new relationships “Drum prüfenfe wer sich ewig bindet” a typical phrase of this nature. They are clearly positioned and stand for independence, which often makes them good fighters.

These people can often have a certain fear of closeness or relationships. It starts with the fact that you don’t like to let things out of your hands. Everyone around you has to earn your trust. However, this all happens because you are more afraid of being disappointed than anyone else. You can then also come into conflict with your own self-realization.

You are people of clear short words. You do not like to repeat yourself.

There are also strong expressions of the doer, who abruptly changes to the narcissist. This person can go over corpses, can excellently blind himself and his environment. If you have the feeling that you are going in this direction, you should urgently seek psychological help. Should you have contact with these people, which is much more likely to apply to you, get urgent advice on how to deal with them, they could hurt you very much.

Where can we find you in your professional life?

These people are often good at selling themselves and like to be in sales. We also often find you in management positions, or as a lone wolf in the insurance industry, banking, automotive. Whenever it is possible to be as independent as possible from others, you will be seen on the winning side.

What can disturb you?
In partnership?

In people of closeness – type friend at the beginning of life, after that you prefer to meet your equal. You need “free space” in the relationship, and paradoxically you are clear for criticism on the direct emotional level, without circumlocution.

Interaction with other “strengths

They are people who prefer clear and short words. This makes conversation with you very difficult for others, especially for the “friend” type. He gets along best with strategists and oversubscribed flexibles. He can delegate badly and is afraid of trusting others, which often makes these people very distrustful and unapproachable in their outward appearance. Paradoxically, you wish to be taken in the arm, because you also suffer from your skepticism towards others.

The friend – harmony

This person is in contrast to the doer type. These people virtually seek the closeness of others. Depending on their characteristics, your whole happiness in life can depend on it. They like to put back, to go on hold, so that others are better off. Depending on your characteristics, you are almost addicted to harmony. They are also artists in suppressing bad experiences. It just doesn’t fit with the unconscious life goal of harmony. They are often faithful and reliable and have good antennas as far as the “mood” is concerned. Are often very understanding and considerate. This can go so far with you that you always put back in life and neglect your own goals, often because you are afraid of losing people at your side or to push in front of the head. You like to buy guidebooks “How to become an egoist” and start an unconscious big mistake, in which you want to suppress your greatest gift instead of learning to deal with it consciously. You can easily delegate, always find confidence in others. Because other people are important to you, you explain yourself often and in detail.

Where can we find you in professional life?

Everywhere where perseverance, knowledge of human nature, trust is required. Gladly in social and pedagogical occupations. But also the economy discovers just these people, they fit ideally to flatter hierarchies. In the old world, she was and is the typical secretary who has everything under control, even if no one notices. Today we find them more and more as team leaders and in start up companies. They are balanced just supervisors and managers.

In partnership

During the first half of life, often with doers who are fascinated by how easy it is to trust people. And since children should learn both, Mother Nature has seen to it here that they come together. In the second half of life you are like everyone else you are more likely to find like-minded people. They are the arbiters of disputes and also here it often happens that they feel exploited and follow the wrong advisors and your life becomes more “self-determined” but emptier.

Interactions with others

You often get a black eye, if you once again much too detailed in the eye of others, explain yourself and very detailed your wishes and ideas. Often you are said not to learn from your relationship mistakes or that you were disappointed by others, often you leave a door open. Depending on their characteristics, doers can have a bad effect. Narcissists are pure poison for you, because they have a hard time recognizing the “fairy tale”.

In professional life you simply go to ruin with a narcissist and with pronounced doers as well. You always feel as if you were “second choice”.

Depending on the degree you feel suppressed, not getting a word in edgewise as “inferior”. Especially here the interaction and expression of the Y-axis (strategist or flexible) is important how they behave further.

The Strategist

This person is in contrast to the type The Flexible. These people prefer clear lines of thought, thought processes. For them it is a kind of security. Depending on their characteristics and especially on how high or low the other values are, we find different attributes in them. This makes it a bit harder to describe them in a tangible way. In the simplest form, they are people who prefer a certain continuity. Be it in the daily routine, the leisure activities, the work routine.

They belong to those from whom sentences originate, such as “Never change a winning horse”, or “We have always done it this way”. Both sentences have basically more in common than they distinguish at first sight.

You often have difficulties with people who are very pronounced in the Flexible type. Often you perceive such people as immature, not consistent enough, up to the point that you call such people chaotic. This is also often noticeable in your environment, from you we can learn the best order.

Where do we find you in your professional life?

Firstly, in all professions where continuity is important and also perseverance.

Some practical examples: Accounting, tax consulting, clerk, self-employed, owner, management position. Hierarchies are no problem for you, after all there is order in them.

A tidy workplace, punctuality, reliability – all attributes that come easily to a strategist. You can approach things, as the name suggests, very strategically. They plan very carefully before things get started. Every department should have a strategist.

In partnership

They prove it to us again and again that marriage is not a discontinued model. You lead the charts of the longest years of marriage. Silver, gold, platinum, etc. for you a matter of course. Some perceive such relationships as “boring” but these people are not strategists.

The interactions with others

Who does not recognize the advantages of the strategist and accuses him of inflexibility or similar slowly but surely destroys him or drives this person out of the house. There are ways to bring him slowly to flexibility, but here the HOW is absolutely decisive for failure or success.

In the professional life you get again and again with your contrast into conflict the flexible. The simplest example is the order at the workplace. With the doer or the friend you harmonize better, as long as you find a common constant. The higher the expression of the doer or the friend in the area of flexibility, the higher the conflict potential. People who have both a high expression in the strategy and the flexibility experience this positively or it triggers an inner conflict, which can lead to inner restlessness or even to the fact that you do not find each other.

The flexible – life artist

Where is the next adventure, where is the new, where is the beautiful, where is the next highlight, where is there something to discover. This urge to discover can be found in all situations with the flexible, but it does not have to be.

Depending on the intensity and strengths of the other types: In vacation planning, leisure activities, work life, love life. It is not about wanting to hurt other people, often they do not understand this unconscious urge and then blame themselves. This can also lead to depression, when you force yourself to be continuous without understanding why you are like this. You may also find yourself extremely dissatisfied with yourself and your constant flexibility, blaming yourself for not being able to persevere. Yet that is your strength again – to be persistently flexible.

An advertising slogan that many know by now is typical for a flexible person “Nothing is impossible”. For you there is even in the one-way street the possibility to come back. And if you should not be able to do this, you will break very easily. You love, no let’s rather say you can’t live without a certain amount of chaos. Some get upset about it sometimes, others just live with it and create phrases like “The genius rules the chaos”. You love to discover new vacation spots,

Where do we find you in your professional life?

They sometimes love the stage, many artists have a high flexible part. In the old working world they often had a hard time, they were often shunned by companies because they often change jobs or even fields of activity. Only recently, some companies understand the advantages of this. Especially young companies and companies that need to be able to cope with the ever-changing demands are recognizing the qualities of the flexible.

They can also often be the ones who drive us forward, who are always full of optimism about things. But they also need to be properly controlled. You don’t like tight corsets,

that’s why we find you more and more often in “start-ups” or companies with a modern structure, not hierarchical but tasks, project-related, just in real teams.

In partnership

Oh yes you are hard to keep, but that is not because you don’t want to. It is the attraction of the new and that it could be better. Partnerships that have understood to give each other free space and to accept the variety or to leave the “everyday life” outside to a large extent, also create long-lasting relationships. On the other hand, partners of flexible people enjoy the variety, the positive surprise.

The interactions with others

Attention this type deceives itself and others gladly, the higher its proportion is. People with a very high expression love the stage, love the encouragement. This sometimes deceives the friends, they think they would be people of closeness and may be disappointed, after the flexible got the applause – you are already gone. It also sometimes deceives the doers who think they have a like-minded person in front of them, but they react to your basic structure differently and again add this incident to the disappointments. The pure strategist does not get involved in this and avoids this person. People who have a high level of both strategy and flexibility experience this positively or it triggers an inner conflict that can lead to inner turmoil or even to not finding each other.
