IntroductionThis Insights Discovery profile is based on hibatul ghalib barus’s responses to the InsightsPreference Evaluator which was completed on 23 January 2015.

The origins of personality theory can be traced back to the fifth century BC, when Hippocratesidentified four distinct energies exhibited by different people. The Insights System is built aroundthe model of personality first identified by the Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung. This modelwas published in his 1921 work “Psychological Types” and developed in subsequent writings.Jung’s work on personality and preferences has since been adopted as the seminal work inunderstanding personality and has been the subject of study for thousands of researchers to thepresent day.

Using Jung's typology, this Insights Discovery profile offers a framework for self-understandingand development. Research suggests that a good understanding of self, both strengths andweaknesses, enables individuals to develop effective strategies for interaction and can help themto better respond to the demands of their environment.

Generated from several hundred thousand permutations of statements, this profile is unique. Itreports statements which your Evaluator responses indicate may apply to you. Modify or deleteany statement which does not apply, but only after checking with colleagues or friends to identifywhether the statement may be a “blind spot” for you.

Use this profile pro-actively. That is, identify the key areas in which you can develop and takeaction. Share the important aspects with friends and colleagues. Ask for feedback from them onareas which seem particularly relevant for you and develop an action plan for growth personallyand interpersonally.

Personal Style

Able to cope with a number of projects at once, hibatul ghalib gets a lot of enjoyment from thesocial aspects of work. He is prepared to attempt almost anything, but his work needs to beactive rather than theoretical. He is motivated by approval and reacts unfavourably toindifference or rejection from others. One of hibatul ghalib's strengths is an ability to let otherswork at their own pace coupled with an awareness of the unique contribution each personmakes. He is seen by most others as a friendly, practical, realistic and down-to-earth person.

Although his feelings are deep they can change quickly with his mood. He welcomes support,encouragement and social interaction, especially during stressful encounters when he may needto consciously divert his energy to more practical tasks to show positive results. He can be reliedupon to keep a check on the social calendar, though he may well overlook some of the smallerdetails in preparing for events. At his best in jobs which deal with people and situations thatrequire co-operative working, he dislikes impersonal tasks and work demanding factual accuracy,unless he can be free to include the people factor. He tends to be light-hearted and sunny, andbecause he constantly seeks to avoid painful experiences, he tends to steer away from personalanxieties.

hibatul ghalib is optimistic and positive, living mainly in the here and now. He likes people andtends to be aware of and appreciate a person's more admirable qualities. He relies on what hecan hear, see and know from first hand experience. hibatul ghalib can be very effective in usinghis concern for others to ensure involvement. He pays scant attention to negative, pessimistic ordivisive situations or conclusions.

He needs to be appreciated for himself and his service, and he can be highly sensitive toindifference or criticism of the support he offers or provides. hibatul ghalib is sympathetic,empathic and affable. At times, events can overwhelm him and he may find it almost impossibleto say “No”, even when the demands are unreasonable. He may ignore or deny anything thatthreatens the harmony he seeks. Due to his sociable, friendly and warm-hearted demeanour, heis best employed in providing practical service to others.

He enjoys socialising, but likes to plan his entertaining for maximum effect. He tends to have aninterest in the new and unusual and is gifted at expressing his feelings. His mental processesoperate best when he is in contact with other people. His warmth, sympathy and understandingencourages others to come to him. He is good at “reading” people and situations and will seldombe far wrong about the motivation or intent of another person. Despite this, he may be hurt whena relationship goes wrong.

warmth and contented relationships are important to him. He may assume that he can talk hisway round anybody. He is warm-hearted, popular and sociable, with a large number of friends oracquaintances.

He enjoys relating to others, especially on known subjects and existing situations. He functionsbest when he is talking with people, which he enjoys immensely.

He excels in promoting harmony around him. hibatul ghalib isseen by others as an easy-going, talkative and practical person. Seldom at a loss in anysituation, he can be relied on to say something appropriate to put people at their ease. hibatulghalib probably prefers more relaxed social interaction. Do not assume this to be an indicationthat he is not serious about important issues.

Usually verbal and persuasive, he will seek or wish to withdraw quickly from confrontation unlessprovoked to the extreme, when he may go “off the deep end” verbally. hibatul ghalib's preferredfocus is on the positive, harmonious and uplifting aspects of people and human relations. Hemay overlook unpalatable facts and, if he does, a problem may be bypassed rather than asolution identified. He is at his best in co-operative roles that deal with people and allow him toair his views. As he is highly articulate with a quick sense of humour he is often the life and soulof the party.

Decision Making

Preferring a harmonious outcome, hibatul ghalib will go to great lengths to ensure thepreservation of relationships. Concern for others' welfare can affect the validity of his decisions.

He views talking through ideas with people to promote decision making as an effectivestrategy of itself.

He prefers tasks or projects which allow flexibility of scheduling. hibatul ghalib will usuallyencourage democratic or even consensus decisions, as opposed to having them imposedautocratically. He has the ability to appear to listen to other people's viewpoints but may notnecessarily be hearing or intending to action them. He may unconsciously manipulate theprocess to get his own way. Decisions made on the basis of logic alone are not highly valued byhim.

He is prepared to make decisions through group consensus. He recognises judgements that relyheavily on logical analysis, but then may ignore this in making his decisions. He may valueopinions over facts in considering a possible course of action.

Recognising these characteristics can help in developing strategies forpersonal growth and enhanced interpersonal effectiveness.

Recognising your Opposite Type:

hibatul ghalib’s opposite Insights type is the Observer, Jung’s “Introverted Thinking” type.

Observers are precise, cautious and disciplined and are painstaking and conscientious in workthat requires attention and accuracy. They are objective thinkers, concerned with the rightanswer and will avoid making quick decisions. hibatul ghalib may see the Observer as hesitatingto acknowledge a mistake or as becoming immersed in researching for data to support anisolated view.

Observers tend not to trust strangers and will worry about outcomes, their reputation and theirjob. They are reticent about expressing their feelings and hibatul ghalib will often see theObserver as unresponsive, cool and uncaring. Observers draw conclusions based on factualdata. They may be slow at producing results, as gathering data is the stimulating part of the jobfor them.

Observers like to make rules based on their own standards and apply those rules to daily life.hibatul ghalib may find himself at odds with Observers due to their private nature and lack ofenthusiasm for social events. Introverted analysis may prevent the Observer from expressingthoughts as readily as hibatul ghalib would wish.
