Let's start with the 14th personality test work preferences. Do you know you have such a thing?
Most people don't even know about such things. Anyway, do you know you have a preference for
working style? Now the neuro linguistic system which this questionnaire covers, the download links
are in the description box. It's a simple Excel sheet you can test and download for yourself.
Together proximity or solo. What's your working style essentially speaking? Think there are just
30 questions over here. Yeah, so it's a short test. Just answer yes in any one of the columns
applicable for each question. There are just three choices. Yes. So let's talk about this a little
bit here. Together proximity and solo. What's the difference? These are the three basic working
styles as per the neuro linguistic system which we are testing in this worksheet. And we are going
to link it up with astrology and draw it up further. Okay. So let's see. Together is a preference for
working closely together with shared responsibility, larger groups and teams and so on. These kind of
people will thrive in social environments and prefer to engage with others in your behavioral
environments. That's together. One who wants to work together with a lot of people. Sol the grouping
is a large group of people. Proximity is a step down. Proximity is a preference for mutual support
with individual responsibilities sort of something in a company environment. Right. You do work alone
in your little cubicle but you also require support from your team members. Somebody is giving you
an input. You produce something out of it. Give an output. Essentially that's what an office
environment is. Preference to work in smaller teams with few people or associations involved.
You value social connections but also appreciate some personal space and individual time in your
own behavioral environments or creations or work or business. Solo is the last one which is the
ultimate soloist. Right. Preference for working alone sort of a work from home situation.
You prefer solitude and independence in your behavioral environments. Finding fulfillment
in your own company and activities. Something like what I'm sitting here doing from my living room.
Yes. This is a solo activity. I'm talking to you. I'm giving you an introduction. I'm sort of
teaching in a funny way but I'm doing it alone. There's nobody here with me. See this is a solo
working environment. Now how this ties into astrology is very interesting. These questions
are really very everyday kind of questions. Let's take a simple one. How do you prefer to spend your
leisure time? Option are socializing with friends attending events or going out in groups.
Balancing social activities with quiet time at home or engaging in hobbies with others.
Enjoying solitary activities such as reading, gaming or pursuing personal interests. You can
tell this is together. This is proximity. This is solo. Yes. But let's go back to astrological
counterpart. Together to me seems more like the north node of the moon or Rahul like energies.
Rahul likes to participate with everybody else. But I want to break all boundaries in
mid everybody's personal spaces so to speak. Right. It goes beyond boundaries. It wants to
break boundaries. Now the other hand, other extreme K2 or the south node of the moon is a soloist.
It doesn't want to have to do with anybody. It's an empath. It feels too many things of other people.
It wants to stay away from all the nonsense. K2 is a soloist in astrological terms.
And Rahul would be a together guy. These are two extremities. One wants to go out
wherever it is, interact with the people and participate in group activities. Team player.
K2 on the other hand is a soloist. He wants to work alone. He's a creator of alone time.
He writes poetry, write books, makes podcasts like this sitting alone. K2.
Proximity is somewhat of an individual bridge where it is a combination I feel of Venus and
Mercury in a chart because proximity is somewhat a boundary between K2 and Rahul. Now you can
interpret this in another way in astrologically also because Venus and Mercury both have a glance
as planets, which is sideways. Both Mercury and Venus have sideways glance. That means they look
at one plus house and one minus house next to them. You see what I'm saying? Both Venus and Mercury
and also you can take the science of Gemini Virgo and Libra and Tauras. They look at one plus and
one minus sideways looking sideways. Not so much looking in the front. Therefore, speaking
psychologically or in this context, you might say that they are more proximity people. They do require
their own alone preference. But at the same time, they are also driven to having somebody around
like in an office space. For example, you are working essentially alone, but you're always looking
over your shoulder or looking sideways. Like what is this person doing? What is that person doing?
You need that kind of a fuel to work properly. You do work alone, yet you want others to hang
around you, so to speak. You love the meetings. You love the gossip. Mercury loves gossip. Venus
loves gossip. So you want the gossip of what the neighbors around you are doing. Be it home, be it
an office environment or a business environment, you see how this plays out psychologically speaking.
So that's an interesting test for you to take. It's a short one, but profound implications.
Right? How do you choose your career? If this Rahu, Ketu or Mercury and Venus in your D10 chart,
for example, if I speak of astrology more, you would want to see where these four guys are
placed. If it's placed in your 10th house, it shows the kind of work you would prefer or which
you would be doing. If Ketu is in the 10th house, you would be generally detached from a very crowded
work environment. You are a soloist. You want to work alone. Whereas if it's a Rahu in the 10th house,
in the birth chart and the 10th divisional chart, your preference would be more to work in groups.
You want your presence in the groups there. You see, that's how it works. But if Venus in Mercury,
it's like an everyday office going person, business person who wants to interact with people. Yes,
maybe 50% of the time and 50% of the time they want to have their own individual time to think it
over, go within. And now if we take the combination of this, because it's in percentages, it's not
really black and white, as you can see, this person is more proximity, 38%. Next comes 34,
together person, least of all, he's a soloist. So he kind of prefers to work together with people.
He doesn't like working alone. Take this test, figure it out where you stand and it
may help, especially if you compare it with your D10 chart or even your Navamsa chart,
how do you grow up to be an individual? Are you more of a soloist together?
Or are you an approximate person? I'll see you in the next. Take care. Be safe.
