Comparing easily confused types
How do type 1 and type 3
differ?
Both produce results. Type 1 tries to produce results done properly, while type 3 tries to produce results that earn recognition.
VS
Why do they seem similar?
Someone who performs well and is strict about managing themselves. Looking only at a resume, it is difficult to distinguish the two types. They work late, prepare and finish things in similar ways.
The point of difference comes after the results appear. Type 1 looks back at whether the work was done properly, while type 3 checks how it was evaluated.
Differences in core motivation
Type 1
The one who sets principles
Doing things rightly is an end in itself. They uphold the same standards even when no one is watching.
Type 3
The one who proves their worth
Being recognized as capable is the goal. Once the goal is set, they find the fastest route.
The same situation, different reasons
When they see a shortcut
Type 1
The one who sets principles
Type 1 will not use it if it sidesteps the rules. Even with the same result, an improper process leaves them uneasy.
Type 3
The one who proves their worth
Type 3 uses it if it reaches the goal. Procedures that do not lead to results frustrate them.
When things are not going well
Type 1
The one who sets principles
Type 1 looks back at where they let their standards slip. Self-blame comes first.
Type 3
The one who proves their worth
Type 3 calculates how to make up for it. They are more concerned about leaving an impression of failure.
When they receive praise
Type 1
The one who sets principles
Type 1 remembers what is still lacking and finds it difficult to fully accept the praise.
Type 3
The one who proves their worth
Praise gives type 3 energy, but it also brings pressure to earn the same evaluation next time.
In relationships
Type 1
The one who sets principles
They sustain relationships through conscientiousness. Keeping a promise is itself an expression of affection.
Type 3
The one who proves their worth
They try to appear dependable to the other person. The harder the times, the more their effort to appear fine can create distance.
In work and tasks
Type 1
The one who sets principles
They are strong in roles that set standards and maintain quality. Working with lax colleagues is draining.
Type 3
The one who proves their worth
They are strong where goals are clear and results are visible. They lose momentum in work that is not measured.
Under stress
Type 1
The one who sets principles
Everything imperfect catches their eye, making them more sensitive.
Type 3
The one who proves their worth
They increase their speed further. The feeling that stopping means falling behind grows.
