The perceptions of the T-E dominant personality are those of a person who has a good balance of relationships and results. Individuals with a T-E dominant personality try to support others and carry their own load, listen and lead.
Negative perceptions that some clients have are that the T-E personality sometimes grows insecure or flustered under pressure, listens to too many opinions, and that their need to please can interfere with the need to perform. Often the T-E personality will procrastinate too long when confrontations need to take place.
By and large, individuals with a T-E personality are liked and respected for their balanced approach to achieving results.
