Document Summary
Pessimistic, high in self monitoring (always thinking about how others see them) => adaptive thing but also disabling thing if you think about it too much. People possess degrees and combinations of these personality traits. Useful traits to be mindful of because they reflect someone of the basic personality dispositions of people. Experiences life differently over time and in different ways. Seem like they can"t stop themselves from thinking about things that you"re talking about and coming up with explanations of things. Spending too much time in your head, and not enough time living. Like order, a bit ocd,always prepared, follow a schedule, don"t like ambiguity. Don"t mind being the center of attention. Our temperament might factor into our personality, but it"s not the only factor influencing. Seek out connection with people, need people to talk to when anxious. The more that people want to be the center of attention, the more anxious they are in those moments.
