April requires many good reasons, as well as the benefits involved, before agreeing to
making changes. When the time is right, April can stand up aggressively for what she
believes. She is family-oriented. She may go to great lengths to ensure the “happiness” of
her personal or work family. When people are involved, she may not always be precise
about the use of her time. April succeeds through hard work and persistence. She likes to
stay with one task until it is completed. She can be possessive and develop strong
attachments for her work group, close friends and family. Once “in the groove” of an
established work pattern, April can follow it with seemingly unending patience. She
doesn’t resist change as much as she resists being changed. She needs to be an active
participant in situations that will impact her work or ministry. April likes to succeed through
persistence. She uses her strong, steady tendencies to accomplish her goals. She needs
time for some study and analysis, particularly when doing new or challenging assignments.
This allows her to adjust to the changing environment.
April is persistent and persevering in her approach to achieving goals. Once she has
arrived at a decision, she can be tough-minded and unbending. She has made her
decision after gathering much data, and she probably won’t want to repeat the process.
She tries to use balanced judgment. She is the person who brings stability to the entire
team. She is good at analyzing situations that can be felt, touched, seen, heard,
personally observed or experienced. Her motto is, “facts are facts.” April prefers to plan
her work and work her plan. Others may find it refreshing to have her on their team.
Making plans and following those plans is important to her. She can be sensitive to the
feelings of others and is able to display real empathy for those who are experiencing
difficulties. She finds making decisions easier when she knows that others she respects
are doing the same thing; she then has a feeling of stability and “family.”
April likes to know what is expected of her in a working relationship and have the
duties and responsibilities of others who will be involved explained. Communication is
accomplished best by well-defined avenues. She is quick to pick up on group dynamics
and skilled in fitting in with a group. She brings both speaking and listening skills to the
group. She will be open with those she trusts; however, reaching the required trust level
may take time. She likes a friendly, open style of communication. April is not easily
triggered or explosive, but she may hold on to some grievances because she doesn’t
always state her feelings. She does not enjoy confrontation for confrontation’s sake. She
feels she can succeed through patience and resolve. She usually is considerate,
compassionate and accepting of others; however, on some occasions can become
stubborn. Stubbornness surfaces when her ideals and beliefs are confronted.
