Explanation:
Sequence:
Cognition:
While, I DO, think in goals and then set out the steps to reach the goals I rarely move in a linear fashion. First, I MAKE myself do the parts that are the hardest or the least enjoyable. I then try to follow the goals I have set out in a step by step order but I inevitably leave something out or overlook a detail. I am not impulsive but I will begin before I read all the directions. I sometimes stop and follow through on another thought. (Like, oh, I have to call a client.)
Conation:
I cannot keep things in a line. My favorite example of this is that if I am snapping the ends off of beans and putting the ends in one pile and the larger edible bean in another and I look down after the task, the two piles are mixed with both parts.
Affectation:
I occasionally feel lost in a sea of instruction words. I am generally happy to get almost anything done. I don’t get bored easily and can generally amuse myself, but, I do like to define how to do any task. I have a tough time being forced in to a box. Therefore I generally like to be in charge. I love to cook and I am good at it but other than bread, I do not follow a recipe exactly.
Chatter: Get started and the work will reveal itself.
Precision:
Cognition: I want to know “things.” I love to read. I love history. Many things capture my attention and yes, I do feel that I am bright. Yet, I will make conclusions before I get ALL the information.
Conation:
When I am sitting in a lecture, I take copious notes. When I am in a Board meeting, I often volunteer to take the minutes and write them “word for word.” But then, I won’t go back to consult the notes. I do research and “look up” the facts. I do check sources. But, I don’t do it with seamless precision. I drop the ends of things. I pay very close attention to most of the details and then miss one big piece. My favorite example is packing my family to go on a vacation. I remember everything everyone needs and then I leave my own suitcase home. Affectation:
I feel mostly confident that I have the information that I need but always worry I forgot something.
Chatter:
I can decide what I think, believe or know without too much anxiousness but I don’t make myself remember the fine points. For example, I am happy to know that an event happened in a certain timeframe of history but will not make myself remember the exact date unless it is completely relevant, like Pearl Harbor was bombed on December 7, 1941.
Technical Reasoning:
Cognition:
Like with so many tasks in my life I enjoy learning them and I have loved learning how to use a computer. For a 56 year old woman I am proud of my facility. However, I am not technologically gifted and fear having to know how things run. I do not know how to fix things, I feel spatially dyslexic when trying to assemble anything and as a younger person I was almost ashamed of what I thought was a commentary on my basic intellect.
Conation:
I would much prefer to explain something either verbally or write about it. However, I loved teaching my kids the hands on tasks of making bread or assembling food. It is my art.
Affectation:
I do feel frustrated when I can’t make something work because I have no ability to conceptualize the functions. I feel ignorant.
Chatter:
My chatter use to be, “I hope no one finds out how bad I am at this.” Now my chatter is, “I am glad I have other competencies and I am not embarrassed to ask for help.”
Confluence:
Cognition:
I am not a physical risk taker but I am often ready to try a new task before I have any real idea of what it might entail. I am not bound to how others would do a task. I do not break rules or laws (I don’t speed) but I do not mind doing something even if it is not perfect. I don’t overthink almost anything.
Conation:
I LOVE to brainstorm. I don’t mind trying something and then realizing it is not going to work. I began a private practice when I was 29 with no back up finances. I figured out the way to make it happen. I also have started two small companies that I ran for a few years, learned a lot andthen ended them. I have started two radio shows that I produced and wrote for two years each and then ended. I enjoyed the experience even though they did not play out how I envisioned them.
Affectation: I feel proud of my energy and positive positions. I love to put the pieces of a large task together like a puzzle even when much of the work will be parceled out to those who do each task well.
Chatter:
Wow, that sounds like fun.
