Profiling Dominancy
I read all the time how the internet dating gurus will teach you how to become the dominant male that females love and want. I hate to break it to you, you cannot become a dominant male or female. You are born with the trait of dominancy. It is an intrinsic trait. Research is quite clear on the trait of dominancy. Five percent of the people in today's society are dominant males or females, that is a one in twenty. The trait of dominancy is the inner need to succeed. It is a positive trait. Dominancy also has a very dark side, when a dominant personality cannot succeed in a positive social way. Some, not all dominant personalities, will attempt to succeed in a negative anti-social way. It does not matter as long as he, she succeeds at their goal. Look at the crimes Adolph Hitler committed, he was a six pressure, a small writer with a slant, very uncommon for small writers and he had the trait of dominancy in his profile. He caused the lives of sixty million people in WW2 and sent six million Jews to the gas chambers. To him, it was the cost of doing business. His will to succeed took on a very dark and dangerous level where millions of people paid with their lives.
Dominant personalities have an aura about them. People are attracted to dominant personalities. These personality types walk their own road, you want to walk that road with them, you are welcome. You don't, that is fine with them as well. They will walk that road with you or without you. These personalities do not force you, bully you, threaten you, gaslight you, that is more in line with the domineering personality type, dominancy is positive, domineering is negative. A domineering personality cannot get people to follow them by their true confident, positive straight forward way of doing things like a true dominant personality can. So, a domineering personality will, black mail you, gaslight you, use violence, intimidation and emotionally manipulate you to get what they want from you and the people around them. A true dominant personality can see through a fake in all of about ten seconds. Male or female it makes no difference. These personalities do not want to waste their time on foolishness and nonsense. Many times than not they do not want to get into a confrontation with you, this is where serious problems arise. The person poking the dominant personality thinks they have them cowed, because he/she is not reacting to their provocations. A true dominant personality can and will wait before they respond to your foolishness, a week, a month, a year, when he/she is ready you will know you have played a game with the wrong person.
Time does not matter to these personality types, they are driven by an inner need to succeed. It is a driving force within them that I can't explain to you unless you are a true dominant personality yourself. I waited ten years to right a wrong. Time made no difference to me. I didn't talk about it. When I was ready, I did it.
Tomorrow the behavior of A domineering personality type.
