Personality Profiles and Rielle Hunter.
How can we figure out people who puzzle us for various reasons? We can start by identifying just two traits of independence and dominance. Personality traits are those behaviors that remain consistent over time and situations. If a person is dominant and independent, usually it’s an aggressive individual. We might witness self-centered behavior, attempts at manipulation of others, and a disregard about harming others. At the other end, when the person is passive and dependent, we might see more loneliness and clinging behavior. They might be afraid to offend, blame themselves and express their anger through indirect means. Knowing how a person fits on along the spectrum of these two traits can help us define an individual.
With these two measures much can be learned about someone, even if they are not an immediate acquaintance. Let’s take Rielle Hunter, the former lover of John Edwards, for example. Does she display characteristics of dominance and independence? If so, are her behaviors consistent with helping others or are they self-focused? Is she sharing, forgiving or vengeful? Have her behaviors been of help to the world or has she hurt others? Does she share many characteristics with John Edwards and did this lead to their breakup?
Knowing the two simple features of dominance and independence helps generate many questions that give us a glimpse into the personalities of others. It can be amusing and it can also help protect ourselves when we deal with life's many difficult people
