Social Style

Can you fit an individual into a Social style ? One of Control, Analyzer, Socializer and Supporter. Do people exhibit consistent behavior conforming to their social style across situations? I think we are too complex to be generalized to have a single social style. I guess we all have the four social styles in us but one of them manifests dominantly whereas others are invoked depending on the situation. I may be a supporter most of the times but given an extraordinary situation I may have to turn into a Controller kind of person. Some people may even try to pretend be of a social style which they generally are not. However I believe this tool can be used to learn more about oneself, something about yourself that you may not have discovered so far. Or you may have known it but it was in back of your mind and suddenly comes to the fore. This tool should be taken as an aid to introspect and learn about yourself than as a silver bullet that tries to solve your behavioural problems.

Eye floaters

As I had prophesied, I am back with one more 'I am back' posts but this time I am writing something. 

Ever wondered what those specks are which move in front of your eyes, move when move your eyeballs. Those specks looked like some bacteria or some micro organism viewed under a microscope and which you drew in your biology exam grudgingly. When I was a kid, I used to think that my eyes have got microscopic power and what I see is indeed bacteria. Alas, I didn't have any such power, they were nothing but eye floaters.They are nothing but deposits in the eye's vitreous humour. (Wonder why they call it humour :), something funny eh ? That would be another post). Read more about Eye Floaters here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_floaters
