PROFILE SUMMARY – LOUISE HERBSTSelf- Image

This is a creative profile indicating an individual who is investigative and abstract in thinking. There is an ability to absorb general information, facts and data on a variety of subjects.

This can and often does lead to a stop / go attitude, a lack of predictability and a certain amount of indecision or reluctance to act until total correctness is assured. There is however no lack of drive or aggression. In fact overt behaviour of this profile is that of an exceedingly stubborn, outspoken and occasionally arbitrary individual. Louise has a need to be respected and continually strives to achieve the correct result. Louise has the ability to stand back and make unemotional assessments of people, situations and events, as this independent individual do not need to be popular, only correct. Due to her main drive being toward perfectionism and creativity, there is a certain lack of empathy, i.e. Louise can take or leave people. In sales terms Louise may well be inclined to make over- detailed and over- technical presentations erring towards features rather than benefits.
