Q. Five years ago I completed a BTSA and you prepared a feedback document. You asked me to evaluate functions of the FR carefully as the FR likely represented my brain’s innate energy advantage. As a male who had spent 30+ years trying to build skills in the FL in order to meet societal expectations, I discounted your comments. Now, having recognized the irritation and exhaustion in my job and life (plus an increased tendency to illness), I recently reread the feedback document. After going through your recommendations to “back into” this evaluation by identifying activities in my life that I know exhaust me, you were spot on! This is new territory for me. I’d appreciate examples of the way in which a FR approaches common situations to help me craft a healthier life. Too bad I wasn’t ready to look at this earlier, but we are so conditioned as males....
A. Bravo! As my beloved French grandmother often said, “Well, you’re doing it now and better late than never!” I have prepared dozens of examples of the type you have asked for. The examples are formatted so you can easily recognized behaviors an authentic FR might tend to exhibit—and you can perceive what individuals with differing brain leads might select. Examples for FRs may not apply to you in every particular. In fact, you may never have had the opportunity to even practice some of those preferences.
Remember that researched conclusions are often reported as generalizations that commonly apply to nearly 2/3 of the population “under the Bell Curve of Distribution.” Think of the remaining 1/3 as split between the high and the low ends of the Bell Curve. Those at the low end may find they do not resemble the generalizations as closely as do those under the Bell Curve. Those at the opposite end may find they resemble the generalizations even more closely. These differences do not invalidate the research—they do exemplify individual uniqueness. Having said this, I hope that this information can help you embrace your brain’s innate energy advantage and more forward.
