Dreamy Idealist (DI)

(Just visiting? Take the free personality test and determine your iPersonic type!)

Dreamy Idealists are very cautious and therefore often appear shy and reserved
to others. They share their rich emotional life and their passionate convictions with very
few people. But one would be very much mistaken to judge them to be cool and reserved.
They have a pronounced inner system of values and clear, honourable principles for
which they are willing to sacrifice a great deal. Joan of Arc or Sir Galahad would have
been good examples of this personality type. Dreamy Idealists are always at great pains
to improve the world. They can be very considerate towards others and do a lot to support
them and stand up for them. They are interested in their fellow beings, attentive and
generous towards them. Once their enthusiasm for an issue or person is aroused, they can
become tireless fighters.

For Dreamy Idealists, practical things are not really so important. They only busy
themselves with mundane everyday demands when absolutely necessary. They tend to
live according to the motto “the genius controls the chaos” - which is normally the case
so that they often have a very successful academic career. They are less interested in
details; they prefer to look at something as a whole. This means that they still have a
good overview even when things start to become hectic. However, as a result, it can
occasionally happen that Dreamy Idealists overlook something important. As they are
very peace-loving, they tend not to openly show their dissatisfaction or annoyance but to
bottle it up. Assertiveness is not one of their strong points; they hate conflicts and
competition. Dreamy Idealists prefer to motivate others with their amicable and
enthusiastic nature. Whoever has them as superior will never have to complain about not
being given enough praise.

As at work, Dreamy Idealists are helpful and loyal friends and partners, persons of
integrity. Obligations are absolutely sacred to them. The feelings of others are important
to them and they love making other people happy. They are satisfied with just a small
circle of friends; their need for social contact is not very marked as they also need a lot of
time to themselves. Superfluous small talk is not their thing. If one wishes to be friends
with them or have a relationship with them, one would have to share their world of
thought and be willing to participate in profound discussions. If you manage that you will
be rewarded with an exceptionally intensive, rich partnership. Due to their high demands
on themselves and others, this personality type tends however to sometimes overload the
relationship with romantic and idealistic ideas to such an extent that the partner feels
overtaxed or inferior. Dreamy Idealists do not fall in love head over heels but when they
do fall in love they want this to be a great, eternal love.

The Dreamy Idealist at work

(Just visiting? Take the free personality test and determine your iPersonic type!)

As a Dreamy Idealist you are one of the introverted personality types.

Therefore you prefer a quiet work environment where you can intensively deal with your
responsibilities and are not disturbed by too many people and repeated distractions. You
need a lot of time to dwell on your thoughts, to put them into words, and let your ideas
take shape.

You are grateful for a certain measure of order and structure because they secure the time
to achieve this so you can deal with one task after the other and not have to juggle a
number of responsibilities at once - you don’t like that because it is important to you to
deal with things thoroughly. Your capability to concentrate is unusually great and very
often you become engrossed in something and forget everything around you - even to eat
and drink.

Nevertheless, because you are very adaptable, congenial and interested in harmony and
cooperation, you enjoy working together with others. A neighborhood that requires the
ability to assert yourself and where direct confrontations are the order of the day is not
your optimal environment. In order to permit you to fully develop your ability you need
an environment that is as stress free as possible. If you can’t get that you soon suffer,
because you take critique and negative feedback very personally.
