Print Description for LUZ A OROZCO Print: 5 Major / 9 Minor Page 1 Introduction to Print Did you ever wonder

why people behave so differently? Did you ever observe two p eople seeing the same thing or hearing the same conversation and having completely different interpretations? Did you ever wonder why certain people are passive while others are assertive? W hy some are impulsive and others prefer to plan? Why some are more creative and others are m ore analytical? Why some are detailed and others only see the big picture? The answers to these questions and many more are very much connected to one s pers onality. One way to describe personality is using a process called Printing . Printing is based on a powerful system that was developed by scholars centuries ago and has been refined over hu ndreds of years. Printing takes people s personality traits, along with the why s behind these traits , and groups them into 9 categories -each with its own way of thinking, feeling and behaving; its own unique view of the world; and its own set of strengths and potential weaknesses. Although peopl e may see parts of themselves in some, or even all of the groupings, there are always two that fit them better than the rest called a Major (dominant) and a Minor (secondary). The combination of a per son s Major and Minor makes up their personality type, or Print, of which there are 72 in tot al. IMPORTANT PRINT FACTS: Every Print has it unique strengths and weaknesses. Your Print explains your view of the world how you respond to people and situations. how you look at things and

Each Print has an Unconscious MotivatorTM that drives the beliefs, thoughts, emotions and actions of that Print. Some behaviors are common among two or more Prints, but the motivation behind the behaviors are different. Unconscious MotivatorsTM are the key to truly understanding Print behavior. No Print is better than any other Print. Prints are not good or bad, just different. Each Print has strengths (called Best Self ) and potential weaknesses (called Shadow ) that are unique to that Print. A person s natural state is Best Self. But sometimes Shadow replaces Best Self as a person s automatic default, particularly under stress. The Paul Hertz Group

Print Description for LUZ A OROZCO Print: 5 Major / 9 Minor Page 2 We use the numbers 1 through 9 to designate the different Prints the first numbe r of your Print represents your Major and the second number is your Minor. High numbers are not better or worse than low numbers. Low numbers are not better or worse than high numbers. We simp ly use numbers as a way to distinguish the groupings. The Print SurveyTM that you recently completed was to determine your Print. Atta ched is your result and a description of the characteristics of your Print, a blend of your Major an d Minor. When you read the description, it is important to note that there may be characteristics or traits described that you don t think you have or exhibit. Do not be alarmed. This is exp ected. The narrative represents the entire universe of traits for a given Print. You probab ly exhibit a number of the behaviors, but not all of them. However, the narrative should be a good overall representation of your personality. Sometimes, people find it difficult to see themselves as others perceive them. I t may help to let a trusted, dear friend, close colleague, spouse, family member or significant othe r read your description and offer their perceptions. Please note that your narrative includes a list of traits called Potential Shadow Traits . Shadow traits are traits that can come out during times of stress. These are potential areas for you to work on. As we said, not all of the characteristics listed will apply to you, but tho se that do offer opportunities for personal growth. Here are some suggestions for how to put the information to good use: 1. Review the list of potential Shadow traits and try to identify two or three that you feel you exhibit more often than you would like. Select no more than three behaviors to w ork on. If possible, ask a few people you trust to verify them for you and even see if they 'll point out some examples, if you or they feel comfortable doing this. Others' perceptions can so metimes be more reliable than your own. 2. Keep these behaviors in your conscious awareness. Shadow behaviors can be automa tic. We can do them without thinking. They often just happen. Change that process by sta ying "awake" and "alert" about your behaviors. When you wake up in the morning, be aware of t hem. When you start work, be aware of them, etc. What is key is how you handle your "momen

t of truth" when something stressful happens and your automatic Shadow behaviors want to tak e over. Try to stay aware and step back for a few moments in these situations. Even take a f ew deep breaths before responding. 3. Periodically ask the same people in our first suggestion to give you progress re ports. Also, if they observe you starting to do one of your Shadow behaviors, ask them to gently inform you and alert you to slippage. Your "buddy" can help you quite a bit. Additionally, ask them to let you know when you are doing Best Self behaviors, especially if you are making im provements in this area. Copyright SoulData Print is a registered trademark.

Print Description for LUZ A OROZCO Print: 5 Major / 9 Minor Page 3 At their best, 5/9 s are the great custodians of logical thought and objective rea soning. Highly perceptive, they are known to surprise and delight others with their original id eas and valuable insights. Reflective, innovative and sometimes a bit unorthodox, most 5/9 s excel at solving problems where thoughtful analysis is an essential ingredient. 5/9 s are smart and knowledgeable, with curious and inquiring minds. They accumula te information and know-how to become specialists, sometimes in many different aren as. They converse comfortably in their areas of expertise, providing thorough explanation s when inquiries are made. They generally prefer to think things through and plan out what they a re going to say in advance, rather than engage in extemporaneous dialogue. However, with sufficient study and preparation on a topic, they can communicate more casually when put on the spot. When a 5/9 expresses a position, it is usually in the form of a well-organized and cogent a rgument, making it difficult for a person on the other end to reject the 5/9 s point of view. 5/9 s are independent and highly self-sufficient individuals. Although personable and likeable, they judiciously guard their space and privacy, keeping unwanted emotional intrusions at a distance. Sometimes unresponsive, they can appear preoccupied and remote, even withholding of information that they hoard in their personal domain. They have an uncanny ability to focus intensely for long periods of time, sometimes without human interface. This characteristic is likel y to contribute to the 5/9 s reputation of emotional detachment. Calm, patient and attentive, 5/9 s generally keep a low profile. They are loyal an d honest workers who demonstrate respect for their coworkers, bosses and the organization they wo rk for. They tend to be skeptical of others motives and can be inclined to making choices based on trust, comfort and familiarity, which may not bring about the most effective outcomes. Some 5/9 s are considered stubborn about doing what they want to do and may fall into a pattern of passivi ty, failing to confront situations or problems that are in need of attention. 5/9 s have a need to understand things. They are adept at grasping ideas and then reflecting on them. When a 5/9 begins to ponder a proposition for too long, they can move into their characteristic over-processing or over-analyzing mode. Even though highly develo ped thought processes are in motion, the 5/9 may be slow to act on his or her thoughts. Cons equently, the 5/9

usually requires reasonable timeframes to complete tasks or projects, a luxury t hat may not exist in today s fast paced and highly competitive world. The 5/9 s desire to avoid engaging in uncomfortable or disconcerting activities also contributes to their slower pace and turnaround time. They may try to procrastinate or find distractions from undesirable tasks. Conse quently, it can take a great deal of energy to get a 5/9 to act quickly.

They also thrive in settings where opportunities for co nflict are minimal and speed is not critical. Aggressive, fast paced and high pressure work environ ments that don t offer a person time to think are not ideal work settings for a 5/9. Equally unsu itable are environments that lack any intellectual challenge.
