Let's take a look at the differences
between your natural and adapted behaviors
As we've seen, we all behave in 2 different ways, depending on the context and the people around us. It's interesting to analyze the gaps between our Natural Behavior and our Adapted Behavior. They help us to understand the type of energy we expend or rein in according to the person we're talking to, and to what degree.
If they are similar: you retain your Natural behavior overall, whatever the context.
If they are different: you tend to adapt to a context that stresses you out or puts you on show. This means that you force yourself to act natural, which can leave you struggling.
Your aim should not necessarily be to modify or reconcile these 2 behaviors, but to fully understand them so that you can use them as a strength in any situation, or work on them if they undermine you.
What your results reveal:
- I am more flexible and a better listener
- I take more calculated risks

Each of us has our own motivating factors, which influence our decision-making process. Whether it's our interests, our attitudes or our emotions, all of these factors also shape our personality.
Knowing and understanding the talents which drive you as well as your limitations is an important step in your personal development.
