What kind of manager am I?

After taking the Personal Profile System test, it showed that I'm a "S" type manager. According to the descriptions, some of the characteristics of an "S" type manager is someone who demonstrates patience, looks for minimal conflict, is willing to help others, shows loyalty, and identifies with a group. Reading the descriptions, I think that the test definitely got it right. Most of the of the characteristics do actually describe the type of person I am. Looking at the other three types of different managers, there isn't any that I would actually rather be. I like the fact that I'm an "S" type because I always felt that working with others, and not try to influence or dominate everyone else into believing in my opinions is the best way to go and will ultimately lead to a best result.

I definitely think its possible to become another type of manager if someone actually has the desire for it. I think it was a very good idea that we took the test so that some people in the class maybe got to see what type of manager they are, and if they are unhappy with their result they know what they should do to try and become another type of a manager.

I do believe that we have the ability to become any other type of manager we would like to be .If we really want to. All we need to do is put our minds into it. I also feel the same way you do, and that is being this type of personality trait.
