Eric Wolfram's Personality Profile

Who Am I?

The "bottom-line" for me is a strong people orientation. Basically, I like people. My desires to be on stage, to write words, to film things, to make jokes; to gain popularity, noteriety and attention -- it's all about how I relate to people. It extends into my motivations to achieve social recognition and to influence (some would certainly say manipulate) those people around me.

People might say I'm

I may be rather emotional; that is, one will generally know how I am feeling, whether good or bad, because I let others know my moods easily.

I can often benefit from help on setting appropriate priorities for myself. I always have many things going on and I could almost always benefit from chosing the right thing to do next. I tend to procrastinate.

I usually participate in whatever social group I belong. I'm not a "wallflower"--I like to meet people, generate group enthusiasm and provide an open environment for communicating.

I get animated at parties or when entertaining friends. When I was younger, I did that more and I'm certainly not above doing it today -- especially around family and close friends. However, I generally become involved with whatever social activities are taking place. I might become the contrarian just to spark some interesting conversations.

I have a high trust level for others. Occasionally I may have trusted people too much and suffered for it. I have natural optimism, however, which tends to pull me out of such slumps.

I may act on impulse. If someone or something catches my eye, I may act without first checking things out.

I have a tendency to be tardy or late; my natural interest in people causes this. I am often so busy with others that I lose track of time.

I have a strong feeling of optimism which is considered favorably by most people around me. My perception is that the bottle is half-full rather than half-empty.

I have a strong sense of humor. I usually know when to lighten a difficult situation, amuse and entertain people.

I tend to be fluent and verbal. I like to verbalize and to participate with many people.

Poised, confident, persuasive and impressive -- these words describe me. I an usually capable of speaking in a comfortable manner.

I show sympathy to the feelings and needs of others. I have a natural empathic style which may draw others to me.

I have a natural, outgoing style that some have labeled as the "natural salesperson." I am generally likable, talkative and socially assertive. My primary intent is convincing or persuading people.

I could use help in controlling emotions--showing less impulsive reactions; less talk and more action.

As a group size increases, I may become louder. I want to make sure everyone has a good time and enjoys themselves. As a result, I may appoint myself entertainment chairperson.

I can generate enthusiasm in myself and in other people. My enthusiasm, often contagious, involves many people in a social activity who might not ordinarily become involved.

I am a natural communicator. I love to talk, listen, offer jokes and make sure that everyone is having a good time. Since all strengths may be overused at times, I sometimes talk too much or joke too much.

My friends interact with me in ways that support my dreams and goals.
I like people who are awsome and who accomplish things. I like when people ask for my opinions and ideas. My friends tend to understand my sporadic listening skills and give me strokes when I do listen. I like people who are open, honest patient, informal, stimulating, respectful, fun-loving, and fast-moving. People can expect acceptance from me without many questions or objections. I like plenty of time for socializing and relating.
