THE OFFICIAL NXT DEFINITIONS

DR Structured

DR Structured belongs to one of the four Type Styles in the NXT personality framework. If you are new or unfamiliar with the topic, do refer to the Introduction of Type Style for more information.

Overview

Structured Type Style is the behavioral outcome of the Directing and Reflecting Type Drives, operating together to prioritize making subjective observations by examining internally for familiar knowledge, while balancing both objective and subjective decisions by evaluating with both the opinions from others and personal opinions.

To put it briefly, those who are Structured have a higher tendency of building on known information based on the needs of both the self and others.

These individuals frequently utilize their Building Function, as both Directing and Reflecting Type Drives require this function. As such, the behavior of the Builder Personality Class becomes relatively more prominent among those of this Type Style.

To provide greater clarity and understanding of the descriptions above, below are the key definitions for the specific terms used.

Key Definitions

Definition of Structured:
Behaving in a methodical and organized manner, preferring to refine and establish known information.

Note: People with the Structured Type Style may not have a Building Function as their top two functions, but they will still display behaviors of a Builder that are relatively more prominent compared to those of the similar archetype.

Definition of Directing:
To act in a way that prioritizes others while focusing on what's known.

Note: Directing includes, but is not limited to: organizing group activities, executing plans, and managing long-term projects.

Definition of Reflecting:
To act in a way that prioritizes oneself while focusing on what's known.

Note: Reflecting includes, but is not limited to: pondering personal choices, sorting internal thoughts, and organizing one's own life.

Definition of Building:
Prioritizing what is known by focusing primarily on refining pre-existing information.

Note: Building includes, but is not limited to: perfecting known approaches, improving acquired knowledge, and constructing meticulous plans.

Definition of Objective:
Based on the non-personal interpretation of matters.

Note: An impersonal interpretation is not equivalent to an accurate or better interpretation, but merely one that is more detached from the individual.

Definition of Subjective:
Based on the personal interpretation of matters.

Note: A personal interpretation is not equivalent to an inaccurate or worse interpretation, but merely one that is more attached to the individual.

Definition of Familiar:
Within an individual's usual experiences or awareness.

Note: Familiar relates to the desire for certainty as it repeats something that is known, creating a sense of security.

Derivative Traits

As mentioned above, those who are Structured have a higher tendency of building on known information based on the needs of both the self and others. As such, various characteristics can be expanded upon this description to understand it better.

To illustrate an experiential depiction of an individual who is Structured, here are some possible derivative traits that are commonly reported from individuals of this Type Style.

  1. Tends to be well-prepared, preferring to act according to the planned course of action for the given situation.
  2. Often refines known information in order to enhance their depth of knowledge.
  3. Knows information deeply from specific topics but struggles to expand into broader topics.
  4. Prefers to perfect their current ideas or experiences as they are uncomfortable with engaging with what they do not know.
  5. May feel lost and anxious from the changing circumstances and environment as a result of being too rigid and inflexible.
Note: As these are some possible derivative traits, a person of this Type Style will either display some or most of the attributes above, with differing frequency and intensity.
