Commander/Relater
Overview
Commander/Relaters
(C/R) are Extroverted, Sensing,
Thinking types. Extroverted sensing in the dominant position is
seen only in opposing combinations. With extroverted sensing in
this position, they can get so wrapped up in facts and unfolding
events that they become subject to them. Their moods may be dictated
by whether or not things are going well outside themselves, making
them subject to wide mood swings. With thinking as their secondary
function, C/Rs tend to base their decisions and actions on intellect
and logic, yet can become emotional when their logic is challenged.
With this opposition, conflicts may arise when C/Rs are paradoxically
driven then laid-back, decisive then indecisive, or concerned then
distant. Commanders are action oriented risk-takers, Relaters are
reserved and cautious. As a result, they tend to be daredevils in
some areas, and overly cautious in others. C/Rs usually function
best in environments that are structured, but flexible.
