Psychology: 5 signs you have a virtuoso personality

Signs that you have a virtuoso personality

The better we know ourselves, the better we can react to our environment and adapt to our lives. Whether it’s a career choice, leisure activities or circle of friends, we will certainly feel more comfortable if our living conditions and everyday life fit our personality than if we constantly suppress some inclinations, let our skills go unused or have to achieve something that we are not capable of.

One way to get to know yourself that most people probably naturally take unconsciously is to become wiser through experience and to develop your own feelings. For some, a possible addition could be the examination of psychological terms and personality models – for example with the Myers-Briggs model.

The Myers-Briggs model categorizes and types personalities using four scales:

The different possible combinations result in 16 character types, to which we can assign ourselves according to our expression of the four characteristics – although it should be noted that we are greatly simplifying with such an assignment. Ultimately, human personality is too complex and dynamic to be categorized using four scales. But for a rough orientation and to gain an awareness of the self and character traits, it can be worthwhile to study this or similar models.

One character type in the Myers-Briggs model is the so-called virtuoso personality. People of this type are characterized by a special combination of character traits that make them valuable friends, colleagues, relatives and encounters. You can recognize a virtuoso personality by the following characteristics.

5 signs you have a virtuoso personality

1. You like being alone

According to the Myers-Briggs model, the virtuoso character type is one of the introverted personalities. Introverts are characterized by the fact that, unlike extroverts, they enjoy being alone. They tend to relax better when they are alone and are more likely to feel exhausted and strained by company than extroverted personalities.

2. You pay attention to facts and details

Virtuoso personalities are usually very attentive and awake and perceive many details at once in a specific moment. They prefer to rely on measurable, verifiable data rather than their intuition. Occasionally they can get lost in a moment and miss the relationships and the bigger picture. In general, people with a virtuosic character pay more attention to what is special and different than to what is unifying, consistent and common.

3. You act rationally rather than emotionally

On the feeling-thinking scale, the virtuoso character type is assigned to the T side according to the Myers-Briggs model, which means that they are more likely to be rationally motivated than emotionally motivated people. Think, weigh up, plan, keep lists and, when in doubt, prefer to wait – virtuoso personalities clearly prefer to act and make decisions based on their intellect rather than relying on their feelings.

4. You observe instead of judging

In the Myers-Briggs model, virtuoso personalities are seen as curious, interested people who cannot gather enough information and impressions. They hold back from judgments and classifications and are very hesitant to form opinions. People of this character type are sometimes difficult to assess due to their openness to other people and can appear unreliable and flighty.

5. You are adventurous and courageous

Due to the special combination of the four Myer-Briggs characteristics, virtuoso people are usually very pragmatic, experimental and controlled. They are able to overcome their fears well, remain calm and solution-oriented in stressful situations. As a rule, virtuoso personalities are not necessarily the most popular people in a group and often do not have the largest circles of friends. But the relationships they maintain are often very harmonious and inspiring.
