The degree to which you use or express the positive or negative tendencies described in this section depends on the development level of your dominant style and whether it is reactionary.
Your dominant style is not developed and highly reactionary, which means the traits described in this section are not used in as effective a manner as they could be and tend to move toward negative behavior with very little stress. You are easily angered or upset, or are not coping effectively in areas described in this section. Your relating style and ability to cope effectively would be greatly enhanced if the skills and abilities available within this trait-set were better developed. By better developing the traits described in this section, you will increase your effectiveness, your successes and your personal enjoyment of life many times over. It is also possible that your dominant style has been altered through negative conditioning. It is recommended that you explore this further by taking the CORE Multidimensional Awareness Profile and consulting with a certified CORE Facilitator.

Your SECONDARY STYLE is the style you use to enhance your dominant style. It inclines your dominant style in the direction of behaviors that are natural to your secondary style, so that your normally expressed personality is some combination of the two styles. The degree of secondary influence depends on the strength of your secondary style in comparison to your dominant style. A good analogy is chocolate added to milk. Chocolate changes the color and the taste of milk, but does not alter the milk's basic properties. You can add just a little chocolate and it is hardly noticeable, or you can add a lot of chocolate and greatly alter the color and taste of the milk. The more you add, the more intense and noticeable the color and taste of the chocolate. Your secondary style influences your dominant style in much the same way.
With ORGANIZER in your secondary position, your dominant style will be flavored by the Organizer traits to some extent. The extent to which Organizer influences your dominant style depends on the strength of your secondary style in relation to your dominant style.
The influence of your secondary style on your dominant style is high which means the traits described in this section strongly influence your dominant style and may even be easily interchangeable.
GENERAL ORGANIZER TRAITS
Organizers are loyal, conscientious, helpful, and are willing and able to take very good care of those they care about. They have very high moral values. They love predictability and order and are willing to work hard to get it. They tend to be conscientious people with a strong work ethic. They are intense, focused, detail-conscious individuals who need to finish what they start. They seek excellence in all they do, if not perfection. Organizers tend to have serious natures and may find it difficult to just cut loose and play. They view life as too serious to be doing frivolous things like playing, though at times they long to be able to do so. For a true Organizer there is no such thing as a detail that is too small to attend to. As the name implies, Organizers are usually great at organizing things, though they may confine their organization to just one area of their life. They generally like lists, schedules and set routines because these help them to keep their lives and environments organized and in order. Organizers approach other people and the world cautiously and from a practical, no nonsense point of view. They are careful, thrifty and conservative and can't understand how others can be frivolous with their time, their lives or their money. Organizers are planners and don't particularly like spontaneous activities. They dislike social situations, and prefer to either avoid them altogether or stay quietly in the background. They are slow to make up their minds because they feel a need to examine every decision from every angle and, once they do make up their minds, they are slow to change them. Generally, Organizers are competent and responsible and keep themselves moving through every project with precision, skill and thoroughness. Organizer's attention to detail and penchant for excellence is sometimes accompanied by a creative flair, which makes many Organizers outstanding artists, writers, poets and musicians.
Friendships for Organizers are very selective. Organizers don't make friends easily and they are very particular about who they call their friends. However, when one has earned that title, the Organizer is fiercely loyal. They can be very sensitive where friends and loved ones are concerned, and may get their feelings hurt by assuming a slight or insult where none was intended.
Positive Organizers are loyal, conscientious and helpful. They are willing and often able to take very good care of those they care about. They have high moral values. They are hard workers who are dependable, capable and not afraid to tackle tough projects, which they will stick with until completed. They provide and expect a high level of effectiveness and excellence and can produce some fabulous outcomes as a result. They are willing to attend to details and planning for themselves and others and can be real jewels to have around where precision and meticulousness are important. Their attention to detail, when coupled with an artistic flair, enables Organizers to create some very beautiful works of art and to design their environments to be functional as well as pleasing to the eye.
Mid-zone Organizers appear to function within a sort of gray zone, easily moving between positive and negative behavior depending on the situation or circumstance. Under stress, they can become cautious, skeptical and apprehensive. They may be so hung up on perfectionism that they find themselves stuck in inaction because they can't be certain of a perfect result or outcome. They tend to be too focused on minute details, which can slow their progress and cause them (and others) a great deal of stress and distress. This makes them appear critical, aloof and judgmental.
Negative Organizers are like wet blankets. They can be moody, complaining and critical, which makes them difficult to tolerate at times. Negative Organizers are difficult to please. There is always something wrong, something that could be improved upon. They are perfectionistic to a fault, and can be cold, distant, aloof, inflexible and unreasonable. They take no time for play or leisure and shame others when they do. They can be extreme moralists who are quick to points out your shortcomings. They tend to use passive-aggressive manipulation to get their way.

Your BACKUP STYLE is the style you fall back on, usually in a purposeful way, when you want to achieve a particular result. While it isn't as natural to use as your dominant and secondary styles, it is nonetheless fairly comfortable to move into for short periods of time to achieve specific results. However, once the results are achieved, you will, under normal circumstances, revert back to your natural combination. Early conditioning and/or highly stressful situations can cause individuals to use backup traits for long periods of time in an effort to cope with past or current stressors. Functioning from the backup style for long periods generally causes an individual to feel as though they are struggling or working very hard at life.
With RELATER in your backup position, you can call on Relater traits purposefully when you need to achieve a particular outcome. How easily these traits are called upon and how effectively they are used, depends on how well you have developed your backup style over the years.
GENERAL RELATER TRAITS
Relaters want to build relationships above all else. They genuinely care and are always looking for ways to be helpful. They anticipate the needs of others and expect that others should do the same. However, the habit of anticipating other people's needs is fairly exclusive to the Relater temperament. Relaters are loving, loyal, considerate and helpful. They make great team players. They are quiet, reserved, introverted feelers who enjoy people but would rather stay in the background helping and supporting others. They are great listeners who are genuinely empathetic and always willing to help, though they tend to be somewhat secretive about their own feelings and rarely, if ever, ask others for help. Relaters are nurturers, who feel that pleasing other people is the reason for their being. It is in bringing joy to others that the Relater feels complete. Relaters form relationships easily, though cautiously, usually waiting for the other person to make the first move. They try to consider everyone and hate it when someone is disappointed or hurt at something they have done. Trying to please all the people all the time can make Relaters seem wishy-washy and indecisive at times. They are willing to take on almost any burden and make almost any sacrifice to keep a relationship going. Unless they are severely abused or taken advantage of, Relaters seldom complain about the inequities of the relationship or keep score as to who is sacrificing the most. They work hard to keep the peace and consult others often to be sure they are pleased. If not, the Relater quietly frets, then tries to correct the situation to the best of their ability. They prefer to rely on the judgment of others, so they are regularly tossed about on an emotional roller coaster trying to meet everyone's differing expectations. To feel secure, which is very important to a Relater, they need to trust the people in their lives. They tend to withdraw into a silent shell when around people they don't feel they can trust. They detest criticism or conflict and will work hard at self-correction in order to avoid it.
Friendships to a Relater are what life is all about. They want to be everyone's friend, and they work very hard to achieve that goal. They are gentle, compassionate and devoted to those they care about. There is little they won't do to assure the happiness and contentment of friends and family. They try to anticipate the needs of their loved ones and to fill those needs without ever being asked. Relaters are generally kind, considerate, helpful friends.
Positive Relaters are seen as the saints of the world. They are thoughtful, dependable, helpful, kind, considerate, flexible, empathetic and genuinely interested in bringing about the best possible result for everyone. They see and anticipate the needs of others and are ever willing to lend a helping hand or a sympathetic ear when needed. They are great team players. They are willing to make adjustments in the interest of harmony, but will not allow themselves to be abused. There is no one more delightful to be around than a positive Relater and they are genuinely liked by almost everyone.
Mid-zone Relaters appear to function within a sort of gray zone, easily moving between positive and negative behavior depending on the situation or circumstance. Under stress, they can be somewhat passive and reserved, but can function fairly effectively except where there is a threat of conflict or disapproval. When they perceive a threat, they withdraw and can become more needy or dependent than usual. They appear moody because they are dependent on others to set the mood and then they react accordingly. If those around them are acting the least bit aggressive, they perceive a potentially threatening situation and move toward negative behaviors as a self-protective measure.
Negative Relaters can be sullen, distant, too indecisive and detached or they can be overly clinging, needy, whiners that drive people up a wall. They see themselves as helpless, weak and inferior and that's how they act. They refuse to make a move without someone's sanction or permission and often can't think their way around obstacles or out of a dilemma. They may become too dependent on others, leaving those they lean on feeling as though they are dealing with an immature child. Negative Relaters allow others to make most, if not all, of their decisions for them and then blame those who made the decisions if they are not pleased with the result. They are too easily hurt and too preoccupied with fears of being abandoned. They will go to great lengths to avoid being alone.
The degree to which you use or express positive or negative tendencies when you call on your backup style depends on the development level of this trait set and whether it is reactionary.
Your backup style is not developed and highly reactionary, which means you may not be using your backup style as effectively as you might. Work on developing the positive traits and practice using them when the opportunity arises.
Your DORMANT STYLE is seldom used unless it has been reinforced through conditioning (usually negative). It remains dormant unless a situation occurs that can only be handled by making use of the traits inherent to this style. When you move into your dormant style, you do so with effort. This style is uncomfortable for most people and the tendency is to avoid it as much as possible and to move away from it as quickly as possible when the need to use it arises. Those who, through negative early conditioning or current lifestyle necessities, find themselves stuck using their dormant traits on a regular basis, report that life (or work, or a relationship, whichever is requiring the use of dormant traits) feels like a constant uphill battle. That's because using dormant traits almost always requires effort and a degree of concentration.
With ENTERTAINER in your dormant position, you use Entertainer traits with effort. The degree of effort depends on how well you have developed your dormant traits over the years. Since dormant traits feel unnatural to most people, and are therefore avoided, it is not uncommon for dormant traits to be undeveloped. In fact, well-developed dormant traits are, in most cases, seen in those who report that they were required to adopt those traits, either in childhood or as adults, for survival or acceptance purposes. Healthy development of dormant traits are usually seen in older people, who through many years of life experiences, have naturally developed all available traits, including the dormant ones. Unless your traits are well developed across the board (dominant, secondary, backup and dormant), well-developed dormant traits may indicate early conditioning or current circumstances that may not be serving you in the best possible way.
Your dormant style is not developed and is highly reactionary, which is quite common. While you are capable of using Entertainer traits as necessary, you can expect to work fairly hard at anything that requires the use of these traits. You probably find that when you are required to use this trait set you are quickly frustrated, upset, or angered and will move to negative behaviors if required to function here for very long.
GENERAL ENTERTAINER TRAITS
Positive Entertainers are interesting, colorful, talkative, enthusiastic, and yes...entertaining. They are masters of drama. They can ad lib and add color with great flair. They can be witty, sensual, flamboyant and delightful. They are affectionate and demonstrative, and often unpredictable. Entertainers love melodrama, romance, expansiveness and anything that makes life present itself in full, vivid color. They like attention and frequently place themselves right in the middle of things. They enjoy people and often seek them out. Entertainers are extroverted feelers, who seek to experience the world to its fullest. They dislike details and don't usually attend to them well. Because of the tendency to move from interest to interest, Entertainers are sometimes seen as scattered. Still, they are almost everyone's social ideal, because they express themselves with such drama and flair that their lives seem much more interesting and eventful than other people's. Their entire lives seem to be one long stage play, with them perpetually in the starring role.
Mid-zone Entertainers appear to function within a sort of gray zone, easily moving between positive and negative behavior depending on the situation or circumstance. Mid-zone Entertainers tend to wear their emotions on their sleeves for the world to see, and they play them for all they are worth. When in a positive frame of mind, they can be genuinely delightful to be around and when in a negative one, a real annoyance. The most observable thing about a mid-zone Entertainer is their rapid and unpredictable changeability. They see interactions as important and necessary at times and as a pure hassle at others. As a result, they may be warm and friendly one moment and purposely cold and distant the next.
Negative Entertainers need lots of attention and they will do anything to get it. They can be loud, boisterous, demanding, self-centered and thoughtless. They can be selfish and unable or unwilling to look beyond their own needs in order to discern the needs of those around them. They can bore people to tears with long-winded stories, never noticing the many signals people are giving or the outright requests to end the long, tedious dissertations. Negative Entertainers demand attention, and can become highly reactive, throwing tantrums, cajoling, pouting, crying or doing anything else it takes to get them the attention they crave.
Typically only positive traits are called upon purposely from a dormant position. When negative traits are apparent from a dormant position, it is because conditioning or circumstances are forcing these traits upon you too frequently, causing increased stress. Functioning from a dormant traits position is almost always stressful and stress increases negative, immature responses. To avoid undue stress and the resultant negative behaviors, use your dormant traits in purposeful ways, for specific purposes, and only for short durations of time.
This concludes your CORE PEPTM report. As you continue on your journey toward self-understanding, actively apply the knowledge you have gained here. The more you understand about yourself and others, the better your outcomes will be in every area of life. The multiple dimensions highlighted here can be explored in greater detail by taking the CORE Multidimensional Awareness Profile (CORE MAP®).
CORE MAP® is so unique, so complete and in-depth, that it must be facilitated by a trained, certified facilitator.
While CORE PEP offers far more than other profiles and can give you worlds of information, it cannot help you discover why certain trait sets may not be as well developed as they could be and why you may not be as happy and content with yourself or successful in life, relationships, and your career as you would like to be. CORE MAP can also give you the tools to eliminate conditioning that may be presenting a false identity and preventing you from realizing your full potential.
If you have tried many profiles in the past and still feel lost, undirected or stuck, we highly recommend that you consider taking the CORE Multidimensional Awareness Profile. CORE MAP costs a little more but you will love the depth of information you receive and the ability your CORE MAP facilitator has to help you move past the old conditioning and claim all the potential you were born with.
