"Design is a way of life, a point of view. It involves the whole complex of visual communications: talent, creative ability, manual skill, and technical knowledge. Aesthetics and economics, technology and psychology are intrinsically related to the process." -Paul Rind
who am i?
My Brain
Although I use both my left and right side of my brain depending on the thought process necessary, I am more compfortable while using the right side of my brain. That means that I have more spontaneity, expression, nurturing, social and interpersonal activity, imagination and creativity, artistry, holistic, abstract and conceptual thinking. However, sometimes I need more structure, control, clarity, focus, direction, responsibility, organization, planning, mathematical and analytical skills, listening skills, rational and logical thinking.
Decision Making
Behavioral Style
When making decisions I tend to follow the Behavioral style. People with that decision making style are sociable, friendly, supportive, avoids conflict and action oriented. Others may percieve my decision making as wishy-washy, who can't say no, and cant't make hard decisions. The best organizational fit for my type of decision making is one that allows well designed, people orineted collegial settings.
