1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,800
Let's start with the 14th personality test work preferences. Do you know you have such a thing?

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:13,280
Most people don't even know about such things. Anyway, do you know you have a preference for

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:20,480
working style? Now the neuro linguistic system which this questionnaire covers, the download links

4
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,560
are in the description box. It's a simple Excel sheet you can test and download for yourself.

5
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:33,040
Together proximity or solo. What's your working style essentially speaking? Think there are just

6
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:40,000
30 questions over here. Yeah, so it's a short test. Just answer yes in any one of the columns

7
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:47,520
applicable for each question. There are just three choices. Yes. So let's talk about this a little

8
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:56,400
bit here. Together proximity and solo. What's the difference? These are the three basic working

9
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:03,120
styles as per the neuro linguistic system which we are testing in this worksheet. And we are going

10
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:14,800
to link it up with astrology and draw it up further. Okay. So let's see. Together is a preference for

11
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:24,160
working closely together with shared responsibility, larger groups and teams and so on. These kind of

12
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:31,360
people will thrive in social environments and prefer to engage with others in your behavioral

13
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,720
environments. That's together. One who wants to work together with a lot of people. Sol the grouping

14
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:47,120
is a large group of people. Proximity is a step down. Proximity is a preference for mutual support

15
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:54,480
with individual responsibilities sort of something in a company environment. Right. You do work alone

16
00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:01,280
in your little cubicle but you also require support from your team members. Somebody is giving you

17
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,360
an input. You produce something out of it. Give an output. Essentially that's what an office

18
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:14,560
environment is. Preference to work in smaller teams with few people or associations involved.

19
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:22,320
You value social connections but also appreciate some personal space and individual time in your

20
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:31,520
own behavioral environments or creations or work or business. Solo is the last one which is the

21
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:38,320
ultimate soloist. Right. Preference for working alone sort of a work from home situation.

22
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:45,360
You prefer solitude and independence in your behavioral environments. Finding fulfillment

23
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,640
in your own company and activities. Something like what I'm sitting here doing from my living room.

24
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:56,720
Yes. This is a solo activity. I'm talking to you. I'm giving you an introduction. I'm sort of

25
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:03,120
teaching in a funny way but I'm doing it alone. There's nobody here with me. See this is a solo

26
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:10,240
working environment. Now how this ties into astrology is very interesting. These questions

27
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,840
are really very everyday kind of questions. Let's take a simple one. How do you prefer to spend your

28
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:22,160
leisure time? Option are socializing with friends attending events or going out in groups.

29
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:29,120
Balancing social activities with quiet time at home or engaging in hobbies with others.

30
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:36,160
Enjoying solitary activities such as reading, gaming or pursuing personal interests. You can

31
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:43,520
tell this is together. This is proximity. This is solo. Yes. But let's go back to astrological

32
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:51,040
counterpart. Together to me seems more like the north node of the moon or Rahul like energies.

33
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,640
Rahul likes to participate with everybody else. But I want to break all boundaries in

34
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:03,680
mid everybody's personal spaces so to speak. Right. It goes beyond boundaries. It wants to

35
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:10,880
break boundaries. Now the other hand, other extreme K2 or the south node of the moon is a soloist.

36
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:16,000
It doesn't want to have to do with anybody. It's an empath. It feels too many things of other people.

37
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:23,440
It wants to stay away from all the nonsense. K2 is a soloist in astrological terms.

38
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:30,960
And Rahul would be a together guy. These are two extremities. One wants to go out

39
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:38,480
wherever it is, interact with the people and participate in group activities. Team player.

40
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:45,680
K2 on the other hand is a soloist. He wants to work alone. He's a creator of alone time.

41
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:51,840
He writes poetry, write books, makes podcasts like this sitting alone. K2.

42
00:04:53,600 --> 00:05:01,120
Proximity is somewhat of an individual bridge where it is a combination I feel of Venus and

43
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:08,240
Mercury in a chart because proximity is somewhat a boundary between K2 and Rahul. Now you can

44
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:15,920
interpret this in another way in astrologically also because Venus and Mercury both have a glance

45
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:21,520
as planets, which is sideways. Both Mercury and Venus have sideways glance. That means they look

46
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:28,320
at one plus house and one minus house next to them. You see what I'm saying? Both Venus and Mercury

47
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:34,800
and also you can take the science of Gemini Virgo and Libra and Tauras. They look at one plus and

48
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:42,240
one minus sideways looking sideways. Not so much looking in the front. Therefore, speaking

49
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:50,080
psychologically or in this context, you might say that they are more proximity people. They do require

50
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:58,080
their own alone preference. But at the same time, they are also driven to having somebody around

51
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:04,720
like in an office space. For example, you are working essentially alone, but you're always looking

52
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,760
over your shoulder or looking sideways. Like what is this person doing? What is that person doing?

53
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:16,640
You need that kind of a fuel to work properly. You do work alone, yet you want others to hang

54
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:22,400
around you, so to speak. You love the meetings. You love the gossip. Mercury loves gossip. Venus

55
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,920
loves gossip. So you want the gossip of what the neighbors around you are doing. Be it home, be it

56
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:35,360
an office environment or a business environment, you see how this plays out psychologically speaking.

57
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:42,000
So that's an interesting test for you to take. It's a short one, but profound implications.

58
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:49,280
Right? How do you choose your career? If this Rahu, Ketu or Mercury and Venus in your D10 chart,

59
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:55,440
for example, if I speak of astrology more, you would want to see where these four guys are

60
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:01,280
placed. If it's placed in your 10th house, it shows the kind of work you would prefer or which

61
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:07,120
you would be doing. If Ketu is in the 10th house, you would be generally detached from a very crowded

62
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:14,320
work environment. You are a soloist. You want to work alone. Whereas if it's a Rahu in the 10th house,

63
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:23,360
in the birth chart and the 10th divisional chart, your preference would be more to work in groups.

64
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:30,800
You want your presence in the groups there. You see, that's how it works. But if Venus in Mercury,

65
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:37,840
it's like an everyday office going person, business person who wants to interact with people. Yes,

66
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:46,080
maybe 50% of the time and 50% of the time they want to have their own individual time to think it

67
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:54,160
over, go within. And now if we take the combination of this, because it's in percentages, it's not

68
00:07:54,160 --> 00:08:01,600
really black and white, as you can see, this person is more proximity, 38%. Next comes 34,

69
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:08,000
together person, least of all, he's a soloist. So he kind of prefers to work together with people.

70
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:15,840
He doesn't like working alone. Take this test, figure it out where you stand and it

71
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:21,120
may help, especially if you compare it with your D10 chart or even your Navamsa chart,

72
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:27,040
how do you grow up to be an individual? Are you more of a soloist together?

73
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:45,520
Or are you an approximate person? I'll see you in the next. Take care. Be safe.
