Which of the 12 signs does this sound most like to you? And why?“THE ALTRUIST”
To live is to serve; to love is to give. These are axioms for individuals who have this personality style. The way they see it, their needs can wait until others’ are well served. Knowing that they have given of themselves, they feel comfortable and at peace, secure with their place in the scheme of things. At its best and most noble, this is the selfless, magnanimous personality style of which saints and good citizens are made.
THE SEVEN CHARACTERISTICS
1. Generosity. Individuals with this personality style will give you the shirts off their backs if you need them. They do not wait to be asked.
2. Service. Their “prime directive” is to be helpful to others. Out of deference to others they are noncompetitive and unambitious, comfortable coming second, even last.
3. Consideration. These people are always considerate in their dealings with others. They are ethical, honest, and trustworthy.
4. Acceptance. They are nonjudgmental, tolerant of others’ foibles, and never harshly reproving. They’ll stick with you through thick and thin.
5. Humility. They are neither boastful nor proud, and they’re uncomfortable being fussed over. These men and women do not like being the center of attention; they are uneasy in the limelight.
6. Endurance. They are long-suffering. They prefer to shoulder their own burdens in life. They have much patience and a high tolerance for discomfort.
7. Artlessness. These individuals are rather naive and innocent. They are unaware of the often deep impact they make on other people’s lives, and they tend never to suspect deviousness or under-handed motives in the people to whom they give so much of them-selves.
