As you might know, there are many variations of teachings regarding the personality quadrants out there all written by psychologists and experts in the field. This book is not a manual to self-enlightenment.
The information here covers two main points:
When I first started dating, I didn’t know how to react to her – the object of my affections. I had no experience because I never went on a date before, and I thought that the way to win over my date’s affections was to please her. It sounded like a fantastic idea, but I made a big mistake: I saw her through the filter of my own personality quadrant and I made assumptions that what I like and what I need is what she likes and what she needs!
What happened afterwards was one disaster after another because I kept doing the things she didn’t like which I thought would be something which I did like. I learnt that I needed to adjust the way I communicate. Unfortunately, things got so bad that we broke up but the lesson taught me how to deal with people better from then on.
