Introduction
This Insights Discovery profile is based on hibatul ghalib barus’s responses to the Insights
Preference Evaluator which was completed on 23 January 2015.
The origins of personality theory can be traced back to the fifth century BC, when Hippocrates
identified four distinct energies exhibited by different people. The Insights System is built around
the model of personality first identified by the Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung. This model
was published in his 1921 work “Psychological Types” and developed in subsequent writings.
Jung’s work on personality and preferences has since been adopted as the seminal work in
understanding personality and has been the subject of study for thousands of researchers to the
present day.
Using Jung's typology, this Insights Discovery profile offers a framework for self-understanding
and development. Research suggests that a good understanding of self, both strengths and
weaknesses, enables individuals to develop effective strategies for interaction and can help them
to better respond to the demands of their environment.
Generated from several hundred thousand permutations of statements, this profile is unique. It
reports statements which your Evaluator responses indicate may apply to you. Modify or delete
any statement which does not apply, but only after checking with colleagues or friends to identify
whether the statement may be a “blind spot” for you.
Use this profile pro-actively. That is, identify the key areas in which you can develop and take
action. Share the important aspects with friends and colleagues. Ask for feedback from them on
areas which seem particularly relevant for you and develop an action plan for growth personally
and interpersonally.

Overview
These statements provide a broad understanding of hibatul ghalib’s work style. Use this section
to gain a better understanding of his approaches to his activities, relationships and decisions.
Personal Style
Able to cope with a number of projects at once, hibatul ghalib gets a lot of enjoyment from the
social aspects of work. He is prepared to attempt almost anything, but his work needs to be
active rather than theoretical. He is motivated by approval and reacts unfavourably to
indifference or rejection from others. One of hibatul ghalib's strengths is an ability to let others
work at their own pace coupled with an awareness of the unique contribution each person
makes. He is seen by most others as a friendly, practical, realistic and down-to-earth person.
Although his feelings are deep they can change quickly with his mood. He welcomes support,
encouragement and social interaction, especially during stressful encounters when he may need
to consciously divert his energy to more practical tasks to show positive results. He can be relied
upon to keep a check on the social calendar, though he may well overlook some of the smaller
details in preparing for events. At his best in jobs which deal with people and situations that
require co-operative working, he dislikes impersonal tasks and work demanding factual accuracy,
unless he can be free to include the people factor. He tends to be light-hearted and sunny, and
because he constantly seeks to avoid painful experiences, he tends to steer away from personal
anxieties.
hibatul ghalib is optimistic and positive, living mainly in the here and now. He likes people and
tends to be aware of and appreciate a person's more admirable qualities. He relies on what he
can hear, see and know from first hand experience. hibatul ghalib can be very effective in using
his concern for others to ensure involvement. He pays scant attention to negative, pessimistic or
divisive situations or conclusions.
He needs to be appreciated for himself and his service, and he can be highly sensitive to
indifference or criticism of the support he offers or provides. hibatul ghalib is sympathetic,
empathic and affable. At times, events can overwhelm him and he may find it almost impossible
to say “No”, even when the demands are unreasonable. He may ignore or deny anything that
threatens the harmony he seeks. Due to his sociable, friendly and warm-hearted demeanour, he
is best employed in providing practical service to others.
He enjoys socialising, but likes to plan his entertaining for maximum effect. He tends to have an
interest in the new and unusual and is gifted at expressing his feelings. His mental processes
operate best when he is in contact with other people. His warmth, sympathy and understanding
encourages others to come to him. He is good at “reading” people and situations and will seldom
be far wrong about the motivation or intent of another person. Despite this, he may be hurt when
a relationship goes wrong.
Interacting with Others
hibatul ghalib brings harmony and goodwill to any situation in which he finds himself. He prefers
to be active and working with like minded people. He is noted for his innate ability to inspire and
encourage others around him and exhibits excellent interpersonal skills. Compassion, caring,

warmth and contented relationships are important to him. He may assume that he can talk his
way round anybody. He is warm-hearted, popular and sociable, with a large number of friends or
acquaintances.
He enjoys relating to others, especially on known subjects and existing situations. He functions
best when he is talking with people, which he enjoys immensely. Much of his pleasure and
satisfaction comes from other's warm responses. Even-tempered and tolerant, hibatul ghalib
constantly tries to be the diplomat. He excels in promoting harmony around him. hibatul ghalib is
seen by others as an easy-going, talkative and practical person. Seldom at a loss in any
situation, he can be relied on to say something appropriate to put people at their ease. hibatul
ghalib probably prefers more relaxed social interaction. Do not assume this to be an indication
that he is not serious about important issues.
Usually verbal and persuasive, he will seek or wish to withdraw quickly from confrontation unless
provoked to the extreme, when he may go “off the deep end” verbally. hibatul ghalib's preferred
focus is on the positive, harmonious and uplifting aspects of people and human relations. He
may overlook unpalatable facts and, if he does, a problem may be bypassed rather than a
solution identified. He is at his best in co-operative roles that deal with people and allow him to
air his views. As he is highly articulate with a quick sense of humour he is often the life and soul
of the party.
Decision Making
Preferring a harmonious outcome, hibatul ghalib will go to great lengths to ensure the
preservation of relationships. Concern for others' welfare can affect the validity of his decisions. A
tendency to take rejection and conflict personally may lead to his not taking early notice of the
opinions of key members of the team. He would often rather make any decision than no decision
at all. He views talking through ideas with people to promote decision making as an effective
strategy of itself.
He prefers tasks or projects which allow flexibility of scheduling. hibatul ghalib will usually
encourage democratic or even consensus decisions, as opposed to having them imposed
autocratically. He has the ability to appear to listen to other people's viewpoints but may not
necessarily be hearing or intending to action them. He may unconsciously manipulate the
process to get his own way. Decisions made on the basis of logic alone are not highly valued by
him.
He is prepared to make decisions through group consensus. He recognises judgements that rely
heavily on logical analysis, but then may ignore this in making his decisions. He may value
opinions over facts in considering a possible course of action. He is likely to decide in favour of
the solution that brings the highest level of approval from others. hibatul ghalib's tendency to
think “out loud” enables others to follow his line of thinking.

Personal Notes

Possible Blind Spots
Our perceptions of self may be different to the perceptions others have of us. We project who we
are onto the outside world through our “persona” and are not always aware of the effect our less
conscious behaviours have on others. These less conscious behaviours are termed “Blind
Spots”. Highlight the important statements in this section of which you are unaware and test them
for validity by asking for feedback from friends or colleagues.
hibatul ghalib’s possible Blind Spots:
hibatul ghalib's responses in defence of people can be illogical to the point that he appears
irrational. Taking the time to pay closer attention to what is actually going on in the world around
him and listening carefully to both the input and reactions of others will help him. He could
sometimes slow down and pay closer attention to the finer details of his projects.
He would do better if he sought the advice of more practical people to find out how workable and
useful his ideas are. He may jump to conclusions without gathering all the necessary information
or taking the time to really understand the situation. Endowed with the gift of articulation, he is
likely to feel that he is competent in most areas. hibatul ghalib enjoys democratic and
participative relations and promoting ideas to and with other people. He may find it difficult to
work alone. His own personal feelings in relationships and decision making are trusted by him
and used to the exclusion of more objective data.
He needs to try to anticipate what dangers might be in store and develop an alternative plan in
case things should become unpleasant. hibatul ghalib would do well to take a step back and try
to see a situation more objectively before reacting. He should realise that on occasions
confrontation can clear the air. He often overlooks his own needs due to his desire to please or
help other people. hibatul ghalib has a difficult time saying no or asking for help.
Personal Notes

Opposite Type
The description in this section is based on hibatul ghalib's opposite type on the Insights Wheel.
Often, we have most difficulty understanding and interacting with those whose preferences are
different to our own. Recognising these characteristics can help in developing strategies for
personal growth and enhanced interpersonal effectiveness.
Recognising your Opposite Type:
hibatul ghalib’s opposite Insights type is the Observer, Jung’s “Introverted Thinking” type.
Observers are precise, cautious and disciplined and are painstaking and conscientious in work
that requires attention and accuracy. They are objective thinkers, concerned with the right
answer and will avoid making quick decisions. hibatul ghalib may see the Observer as hesitating
to acknowledge a mistake or as becoming immersed in researching for data to support an
isolated view.
Observers tend not to trust strangers and will worry about outcomes, their reputation and their
job. They are reticent about expressing their feelings and hibatul ghalib will often see the
Observer as unresponsive, cool and uncaring. Observers draw conclusions based on factual
data. They may be slow at producing results, as gathering data is the stimulating part of the job
for them.
Observers like to make rules based on their own standards and apply those rules to daily life.
hibatul ghalib may find himself at odds with Observers due to their private nature and lack of
enthusiasm for social events. Introverted analysis may prevent the Observer from expressing
thoughts as readily as hibatul ghalib would wish.
