Introduction
I am staring at my crucial pad, thinking of a significant breakthrough idea that would launch me into the depth of thoughts I want to unleash as I write this. I just decided to start this wayto begin with questions. So, let me question you. Be sincere it would help us out.
Have you ever wondered what is in the head of your teenager (that is if you have one), what are they thinking of? What is the content of their mind? Are they saying the truth, or they are keeping things from you? Do you feel that constant desire always to understand what a person means beyond what they are saying to you? Do you want to look into the heads of people and see right through them? If you do, I do too. I dont just want to know what my dog is thinking of. I also want to understand why people act the way they do and what would make them tick or blow.
I really wanted to know.
This led me to study and research. I found out proven psychological principles that could help you figure out a person and how they act. Help you know the prompters that influence a persons action. Nothing just happens, it is all promptedor should I say, it all has a cause. Even those things you call accidents have reasons.
In Tim Lahayes book, why you act the way you do , he tried to explain the reason why people work the way they do and linked it to something he called temperaments. He classified human actions/character into four broad groups, namely: Choleric, Sanguine, Melancholy and Phlegmatic. He claims that these four broad groups are responsible for the way you act and the reason you can throw a bottle at someone for pissing you off and why your brother would do absolutely nothing but walk away. The termed the two dominant and outspoken character traits as Choleric (the natural-born leader), and Sanguine (the life of the party); and the other two he termed them as introvertive in their nature, that is the Phlegmatic (natural going person) and the melancholy (perfectionist). These broad groups could give us an incline into how these personalities work.
The point was he was analyzing the human about his interactions. You may want to ask;
WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO ANALYZE A PERSON?
Intrapersonal intelligence:
A person is not intelligent if the person doesnt understand himself. Socrates sums it up by saying, Man know thyself. He believed that if a man could master himself, he could master his surroundings. Thats the basis of analyzing a person; we are trying to learn man. Man is the most complex biological machine, and the advancement and the complexities that we find in his every day to day activities, make us want to understand his uniqueness. Intrapersonal intelligence brings a keen awareness of who you are to the fore. This means, your self-awareness is dependent on how much of yourself, you know. Understanding who you are, makes it a lot easier to understand someone else. A self-aware man is conscious of his flaws and how it affects others; he is also concerned about how he can grow and surmount these flaws. He is also aware of his strengths; no human doesnt have weaknesses or strengths. You are aware of your strengths and how it translates into helping others. This is a self-aware person.
A self-aware person is not self-centered, he is simply conscious of the reality that surrounds him, and this empowers him to design an outcome that is far away from the truth he is experiencing. This is what being self-aware is about. When a person reaches the apex of self-awareness, it is said that the person is intra-personally intelligent. This is one of the reasons we are analyzing people; to ensure that we get a man to know himself, know what his worldviews are and how these can affect his immediate environment.
Interpersonal relations:
The presence of the brain makes it possible for us to have complex interactions amongst ourselves in comparison with other animals. Our language, mode of living, food, events, culture all are a result of our very, very complex, and cerebral style of interaction. The world is made of humans, and because of that, you would have to always react/encounter a human on your way as you climb up the ladder of success. Most people dont have people skills. They do not know how to speak to people, and they say anything they want to say anyhow they feel like saying it to people. They dont understand the power of networking, and they never know how it is people that would take them to the next level in anything they want to do. People birthed them, people nurtured them to mature, and people taught them at school. If they understand the importance of having to learn people skills?
Money follows people, and not the other way round. If you want to make money, you do not have to chase money, and you have to chase people. It is people that handle, prepare, carry cash all over as they transact. If you need to make money, the thing you ought to do is to create a solution to a problem to attract people. When you are done creating the answer to the question, make sure the product you promise them has the same value your ads contain, if not, they might come, but they would leave. Your business, your life, your future depends on the right choices.
The easiest way to relate with people would be first to know yourself and what you are prone to do. Know your flaws, your excesses, and when you see that these things are getting in the way of your relationship with people, you know what to do.
For instance, if you are not calm or quiet, and this other person likes a quiet and peaceful place, you should be ready to compromise so that these other people would be beautiful. Your eyes are no the benefits of the relationship, not an ego contest. If the other person makes a mistake, because you are self-aware, you understand how to convey your hurt to this person without causing a ruckus.
