Which Bird Are You?

There are many personality-profile tests in the market. DISC is commonly used. It singles out four distinct character types named after birds - Eagle, Peacock, Sparrow and Dove. It is quintessential that the right type is matched to the right profession for a good job fit. By the way, character is one's true self, while personality is its outward display. Heard of people who behave in ways different from what they think sometimes? This is a classic case of a character-personality mismatch. Ok, briefly on these feathered vertebrates ...
Eagles are people who like to cheong. They think quick, love to solve problems, enjoy challenges, and are goal-oriented. They make excellent entrepreneurs, motivators, field commanders. Most, if not all CEOs are Eagles. They would do less well for jobs like nurse, counsellor or simply most salaried jobs with little increment to fill their hunger for success.

Peacocks are people who love titles. Good names to them are way more important than most other factors. They are egoistic, usually a person in the limelight, but they too enjoy feeling important by doing what important people do. Academics, some top clergymen, some authors (especially those who engage ghostwriters) are good examples. They would do less well in jobs that denounce recognition like administrative clerks, primary school teachers etc.

Sparrows are what most Singaporeans are. Sparrows would subscribe fervently to the you-know-who's propaganda on job (not career) fulfilment. Most women are sparrows. These are peace lovers who enjoy their status quo and would not take big steps out of their comfort zones. They enjoy stability and are usually contented with perks like a once-a-year tour, an income package with less changes than a rock on Everest. However, these non-fighters are survivors! Good examples are some fully salaried executives, shop assistants, counter salesman in watch shops etc. They would prefer a straight 2k/month income to one that pays 1.5k basic + commission even if there's a very good chance of hitting more than 500 in commission. Sadly, many Sparrows are Eagles or Peacocks in disguise, but they don't know that yet. Not surprising that some bigger systems knead people to become Sparrows unknowingly.
Doves are people whose self-esteem greatly depends on how others perceive it to be. They are people-oriented, kind-loving angels who care and listen to the needed. They make excellent nurses, kindergarten teachers, marriage counsellors, staffs in old folks' home etc. However, if they were to be thrown in a position that obliges them to make fast decisions or to be accountable for company profits, they would tumble & fall. Doves make bad entrepreneurs. They'd be so well-guarded by fears that others might perceive them with bad motives, and not approach people. This bird is a bad choice for a sales job.
However, everyone displays different bird traits in different situations at different time. Nevertheless, there is a dominant bird in everyone. Which is yours?
