Some characterizations from clients and co-workers:
- Amiable Analyst
- Concerned & Conservative
- Thoughtful Thinker
- Builder & Keeper of the Status Quo
- Routine-Oriented & Defensive
The perceptions of the A-T dominant personality are those of a careful, conservative and concerned approach to work. They excel at planning and processing and usually have high standards.
The downside to these perceptions is that A-T dominant individuals are often seen by clients as slow-to-change, judgemental, defensive and resistant when ideas go cross-grain to their preferred logic. Perfectionism and sensitivity can combine for high-quality, readily embraced ideas—or never-satisfied, easily offended responses to others.
