For Dreamy Idealists, practical things are not really so important. You only busy yourself with mundane everyday demands when absolutely necessary. You tend to live according to the motto “the genius controls the chaos” - which is normally the case so that you often have a very successful academic career. You are less interested in details; you prefer to look at something as a whole. This means that you still have a good overview even when things start to become hectic. However, as a result, it can occasionally happen that you overlook something important. As you are very peace-loving, you tend not to openly show your dissatisfaction or annoyance but to bottle it up. Assertiveness is not one of your strong points; you hate conflicts and competition. Dreamy Idealists prefer to motivate others with their amicable and enthusiastic nature. Whoever has you as superior will never have to complain about not being given enough praise.

As a Dreamy Idealist you are one of the introverted personality types. Therefore you prefer a quiet work environment where you can intensively deal with your responsibilities and are not disturbed by too many people and repeated distractions. You need a lot of time to dwell on your thoughts, to put them into words, and let your ideas take shape. You are grateful for a certain measure of order and structure because they secure the time to achieve this so you can deal with one task after the other and not have to juggle a number of responsibilities at once - you don’t like that because it is important to you to deal with things thoroughly. Your capability to concentrate is unusually great and very often you become engrossed in something and forget everything around you - even to eat and drink.

Nevertheless, because you are very adaptable, congenial and interested in harmony and cooperation, you enjoy working together with others. A neighborhood that requires the ability to assert yourself and where direct confrontations are the order of the day is not your optimal environment. In order to permit you to fully develop your ability you need an environment that is as stress free as possible. If you can’t get that you soon suffer, because you take critique and negative feedback very personally.
