INTRODUCTION
When you complete your DEAL personality assessment, you receive a score and a report for each DEAL profile:
- Doer
- Entertainer
- Analyst
- Lover
The higher the score for a style, the more observable the characteristics will be for that style. If you score high in more than one style, you’ll relate with more than one of the descriptions below.
At holiday times like Christmas, some people anticipate, and may even expect certain things. Some things you’re OK with and others, no. That’s why you may feel filled with energy, or totally drained during the Holiday Season.
As you read this article, you’ll recognize yourself and other people close to you. If you’re spending time with a variety of people this holiday season, here are some things to keep in mind, to create more ease and harmony within yourself, and with others, so the Season is the happiest it can be.
