1 - Building trust and recognizing inner drivers - the theoretical foundations of profiling³.

               The following Oliver story shows how important it is to assess a
               person's inner drivers and motives.

                 "Thinking is not your thing!"


                 Like most people, I had to struggle with prejudices, categorizations and
                 pigeonholing at an early age. I don't want to exclude that I also tend to
                 pigeonhole  people  from  time  to  time.  As  is  well  known,  one  should
                 always look at one's own nose first ...


                 When  I  was  building  my  Abitur,  I  wanted  to  get  involved  in  the
                 organization,  planning  and  execution  of  the  Abitur  ceremony.
                 Moderating  the  event,  that  was  "my  thing".  In  addition,  I  wanted  to
                 participate in the design of the Abitur newspaper and write an essay on
                 the history of my school.

                 My friends were very enthusiastic about my idea of being a moderator.
                 It was a different story when it came to my involvement as a screamer:
                 "Theory,  Olli?  Intellectual  high-performance  sport?  That  doesn't  suit
                 you!" The whole thing culminated in the not only humorously meant
                 remark: "Thinking, that's not your thing, Olli!" And when I later decided
                 to study psychology, it was again:
                 "You have to study business, something dry as dust. But psychology?
                 That's really not your thing!"


                 From that point on, at the latest, it was clear to me that pigeonholing
                 must  be  avoided  in  human  relationships.  Away  with  the  templates.
                 Every  person  is  unique  and  an  individual,  and  therefore  worthy  of
                 intensive attention to their emotions, values and convictions. In doing
                 so, it is not a matter of outward appearances. The crucial thing is to get
                 to the bottom of the inner drivers. It is worthwhile to find out which
                 value or




                                                                                 27
