In this post, I discuss type 3 of 9 (Core Motivation: feel successful; Action Goal: lead a major agenda). A child strongly influenced by a
type 3 core personality will be readily recognized as ‘leader of the
pack.’ He or she will project a
‘child with a plan’ persona, in a diplomatic, generally not a bossy, way. Social contact is very important to
type 3 children, such that they might get grumpy when they feel deprived of it
in any way. They are born leaders
and, if supported, will generally continue to succeed in leadership roles
throughout their lives.
If you are wondering whether a
child you know is influenced by a type 3 personality, it may help to ask
yourself these questions:
A. Does he or
she naturally emerge as an identified leader within his or her social
structure?
B. Does he or
she specifically dislike being ‘managed’?
C. Does he or she
like solving group problems?
D. Is he or she
generally diplomatic (especially for a child)?
E. Does he or
she focus more on practical outcomes than emotional ones?
All of these statements would be
true for most children influenced by a type 3 personality. As always, wings influence the core
type, so there may be some minor exceptions. Type 3 children generally achieve success (short and long
term) when trusted with age appropriate responsibility and authority. If a child in your life is strongly
influenced by a type 3 core personality, you will likely see repeated
opportunities to foster their leadership development. The more you pursue those opportunities, the more you will
connect with that child.
