What Language Are You Speaking?

 Have you ever noticed that sometimes when people are talking to you, you just get it?!

What happened in that moment of realization is that you "got it" because they were speaking in your psychological language. That might sound funny but it is powerfully true.

Everyone speaks through what we call the "Dominant" function of your personality type. I am not going to go into the details of that now; however, it is enough to know that it's there and that it is a huge communication clue.

It may not be easy, and it is not, that is to speak somebody else's dominant function language; however, if you are concerned with really good communication that is exactly what we all need to do more than we do!

I speak English, but I speak it intuitively because intuition is my dominant function. Well that's just great unless I am talking to a dominant sensor, and if that is the case, believe me you can take this to the bank they are not understanding most of what I'm saying even though we are both speaking English!

They do not understand most of what I'm saying because they need to hear English spoken as a "sensor" would speak it-and I'm not a sensor.

Well, could go on and on but sometimes I wonder what the point is. Actually, the point is that we have such incredible power from the knowledge of our personality type if we could just learn how to use it better-well if we could just learn how to use it!

More next time.
