Understanding Human Behavior

With all the technology we have today we might expect to have less problems understanding people but unfortunately, the reverse is often true.

The information age enables us to communicate at an ever-increasing rate. This is an exciting time in which to live. Email, Faxes, VOIP, Mobile phones and pagers means most people are at the very least just a phone call away.

The communication problems surfacing today seem to stem not from a lack of verbal communication but from a lack of person to person contact.

We still care about people and want to understand how to get along together. Understanding human behavior and the predictable patterns that we can observe in our personalities can really help us better understand ourselves as well as others. We can have a better picture of our own natural perspective on life and begin to see how different the perspectives of others can be.

More than 2,500 years ago, keen observers of people began to notice that there are predictable patterns of behavior. In time, this observation led to the Model of Human Behavior that we use to understand these patterns.

Each of us has a motor that drives us. It has a high speed that makes us more Outgoing, or it has a low speed that makes us more Reserved. You could be extremely outgoing or reserved, or you may be just moderately outgoing or reserved.
