According Carbonell (2008), behavioral blend refers to The Four Temperament Model of Human Behavior. The four types are D, I, S and C. Each person is a unique combination of these four temperaments and that makes up the behavioral blend. A person considered a “D” temperament is Active/Task-Oriented. A person considered an “I” temperament is Active/People-Oriented. A person considered “C” temperament is Passive/Task-Oriented and a person who is a “S” temperament is Passive/People-Oriented. These temperaments together are referred to as a behavioral blend.
My behavioral blend is “S/I” or “I/S.” When reading my profile describing this blend, I could not believe how accurate the descriptions were. Lately I have been thinking of the qualities in myself that I love and want to show more and the qualities in myself I would like to improve upon. These qualities were discussed in length in the profile under the Strengths and Uniquenesses and Overuses and Abuses. I am a very empathetic and compassionate person. This is a good quality when it comes to relating to peers and will be a good asset when I become a counselor. People find it easy to open up and trust me. However, it can be a bad quality if I cannot decipher proper boundaries because I use my emotions instead of my head. Also, this blend states that I can become too involved in spending time with people and helping with their problems that I do not spend enough time completing tasks or other things that need to be done. This could interfere with a job or even making level-headed decisions if I use my emotions too much.
It is important to not only know our own behavioral blend, but to understand the others. Since people relate differently, our way of connecting to others may be different. As an example, in the counseling profession it will be important to understand our client enough to know the best way to relate to them. This can “enlarge the conversation” when we respect other’s styles of learning and listening and can become better communicators.
