Supporters: At Peace with Everything
Supporters are very good friends. They are very casual and likable people that would go all out to please others. They are the peace makers. They tend to minimize conflict with other people.
When it comes to making decisions, they let generally let others make the decisions and will rarely turn down the request. They may sometimes be perceived by others as having no back-bone because of their complying attitude and lack of initiative.
They are also people who do not respond well to challenges and are not usually highly-competitive people. This is because they do not want to hurt the feelings of others when winning or losing in a competitive environment and may even ‘let others win’ to preserve the friendship.
They are people who respond well to orders (especially from controllers). This makes them very easy to supervise but not when it comes to having them do things on their own without supervision. They also tend to lack interest in planning and goal-setting and may need to be more ordered when it comes to doing things.
Sometimes, it is no point asking them for honest or critical advice because they then to sugar coat the feedback in an effort not to hurt anyone.
Finally, when they face disagreement, they tend to let others have their way while building a wall of resentment in themselves until they finally explode (and then apologizing profusely afterwards)
