How does your personality type work with or conflict with your profession?

I guess mine fits pretty good also. My wife tells me how laid back i am and i cant remember seeing any uptight warrants

My peraonality type was at first a much needed well in a desert when I first started working post Marine Corps. When I first arrived in the workplace there was little leadership and I was able to take the reigns and run. After things were established I found I was a little to abrasive for some of the management at the time. So I adapted and overcame and used my assertiveness in moderation and have adapted to the less authoratative leadership style I was so acustomed to. It has worked for me to be more of a coach now.

I usually walk away from a disagreement when after asking to and hearing more about someone's point of view and I respond with my reason for disagreement then the other chooses a personal attack or repeating their previous statement while disregarding my statement. It tells me she or he isn't looking to understand - just want to "be right."
