Today, we return to the concept of interaction style to cover a facet to it that I haven't addressed previously, but that turns out to be a bit more significant and well worth focusing on.
Welcome to episode nine of Now I Get It with Dr. Andy. I’m talking about the concept of the four interaction styles and the core values that are associated with them.
Tune in and listen as I explore how these styles can be mathematically partitioned, how they manifest in gestures and behaviors, and the distinctions between sensing and intuition and initiators and responders.
In this episode, you will learn:
There are four styles of interaction (00:27)Planners find it worth it to anticipate and plan ahead (02:44)Commanders want to take action instantly and make things happen (03:18)For optimizers it's worth it to gather all the resources and get all the viewpoints (03:38)Involvers make the effort to get others involved and motivated (04:07)Let’s connect!

In many countries, there is a significant difference in the perception of the culture between males and females. This is just one of the reasons why authoritarian movements have a very strong opposition to any sort of differences in sexuality, sexual identity, and sexual orientation—because many of those ideas fly in the face of a cultural value that says that these are very fundamental differences between people.
Welcome to episode eight of Now I Get It with Dr. Andy. Today, I’m talking about the intersection of authoritarianism and the scientific understanding of time, space, and gravity.

A lot of people are confused when they think about life, how life happens and how it's possible, but if you take a look at that bright yellow thing in the sky, there's a lot of energy coming from it.

It's easy to condemn the horrific actions of Nazis, fascists, and various other authoritarian movements. On both the left and the right, there are been groups that are murderous and highly abusive of human rights. Nevertheless, I find myself compelled to argue that we should be compassionate towards those people, even as we obviously condemn the damaging and horrific actions they perform.

Among the many critical formative inventions in human history, perhaps one of the most important is the concept of bartering and currency. With this system, humans have enabled themselves to spend more time doing things within their skill set while others do the same, creating a net surplus for everyone.

If you're with someone who isn’t the same psychological type as you, chances are that many of the ways you express love go unfelt—and you may even be oblivious to the ways that love is shown to you, too.
Welcome to episode two of Now I Get It with Dr. Andy. Today, I’m talking about how to be mindful of the love that you’re giving and receiving. Even more than that, I want you to understand the way your loved ones’ minds work and proactively find ways of showing and sharing love.
But how do we do that? How do we know? It turns out, they’re showing us how all the time.
Tune in and listen as I cover the specific four traits that people have, the four types of interaction style, and the distinction between initiators and responders and the intuitive vs the abstract.
