Turbulent vs Assertive Workers

Two kinds of workers, and how to fit them together.

Turbulent Workers are usually dissatisfied, and so they strive for satisfaction. They are more conscious of security issues / that is their lens / temperature level.

Assertive Workers are usually satisfied, and so they dodge dissatisfaction. They are more conscious of aesthetic issues / that is their lens / temperature level.i

( T and A language borrowed from 16personalities .com's language framework; roughly Ts correspond to Type A people, and As correspond to to Type B people in that OTHER language framework. )

It's often safer to field Ts as specialists, and As as generalists. Ts go in front-offices, and As go in back-offices. Ts are the sympathetic nervous system, As are the parasympathetic nervous system.

These are just common heuristics - all rules are broken in certain contexts.

Doing Better

I see a lot of exhortation on social media to, "do better" - here's what I'd like people to do.

1. Too many people believe in goodness. Too abstract. Do better.

2. Passionate people - very boring. Do better.

3. Humanists. Disgusting. Do better.

4. Empaths. Not bad, but only if you can turn it on and off at will. Do better.

5. Influencers. Can you do it without being popular? Do better.

We can all do better, and if I didn't believe so, I wouldn't say it.
