Like it or not, most of us will spend a significant portion of our lives working to earn a living. And working a couple of less-than-desirable jobs seems to be an unavoidable part of finding one's chosen vocation. While poor working conditions, lousy pay, and irritating coworkers can make working hours miserable for anyone, there's another factor that can lead to workplace frustration for many people: personality modifications. Some types find adjusting their personality to fit their jobs or certain workplace tasks to be easy, while others find it akin to torture. Certain individuals refuse to modify their personality for any reason whatsoever – which can be beneficial or disastrous, depending on the requirements of their jobs. How are Consuls affected by their occupational environments? Check out our data below: Consuls are the least likely type to say the ways they express their personalities change significantly when they're at work, with just 37% saying so. Consuls are fairly interested in seeking out jobs that require them to go out of their comfort zone, with 39% agreeing. Consuls strongly agree (76%) that people should adapt their personality if it helps them perform their job better, and they themselves find it easy to do that, with 79% in agreement. 63% of Consuls believe their job has had long-term effects on their personality. 75% of Consuls believe that adapting their personalities for work has been beneficial to their personal development. Consuls can view the workplace as a difficult place to navigate if they aren't willing to modify their behaviors when necessary. Here are some steps that they can take to be the best, most effective version of themselves at work: Trust yourself. It's hard to be authentic if you don't respect yourself. Rather than beating yourself up over perceived weaknesses, focus on identifying and mastering your strengths. Seek balance. Authenticity is a good thing, but being inflexible is not. If you find that you are having difficulty modifying your behaviors at times where it might be beneficial, you may need to work on finding an appropriate balance. Always be improving. This goes for your job-related skills as well as personal development. For example, you can view each interaction with a coworker or client as an opportunity to study human behavior. Ask for feedback. Improvement can happen even faster if you seek out feedback from those you work with on a regular basis. Don't be afraid to ask a trusted manager, coworker or client for feedback on areas you are looking to improve. How about you? Do you feel like a different, less-than-ideal version of yourself in the workplace? Or is it easy for you to adapt? Let us know!
