Andrea Profiles of People

Because of Covid and distance, these profiles are based on a deep memory dive — but can’t be tested in timely interactions for the purpose of this exercise. But I see the value of this process and it will inform my thinking moving forward.

I also found that my sense that I had zeroed in on the correct core traits was confirmed by being able to see the interaction of those traits in my experiences with people: for example, how loneliness led to insecurity, or social and disloyal could be connected.

Person 1

Curious

Compulsive

Lonely

Insecure

Person 2

Social (fun and climber)

Disciplined

Focused

Disloyal

Person 3

Connector

Learning Mindset

Sensitive

Intrusive

Patrick Malone Profiles People

What I learned is to look to people I know to discover characteristics. Also, to create characters with different 0pr conflicting characteristics.

CHARACTER 1.

– Talkative: never shuts up, talks over movies, TV show, sports.

– Self-absorbed: when someone tells a story, a joke or an event, he immediately turns the topic back to himself. His tales are always funnier, more interesting, or so he believes.

– Obsessive: He buys numerous newspapers each week and painstakingly clips articles. He saves these in cardboard boxes, has at least 100 boxes. He has another 1,000 newspapers piled up waiting to be clipped. He also saves every telephone message and every email he receives.

– Generous/Helpful: Always offers food and drinks when visited. Helps friends financially.

CHARCTER 2.

– Talkative: He talks over other people.

– Poor listener: When he asks a question, he often doesn’t let you finish answering, but answers it himself.

– Delusional: As a former musician, he talks about famous musicians such as Paul McCartney and Bob Seger, as if he knows them and will be performing with them.

– Generous; Loves to make meals for guests.

CHARACTER 3.

– Analytical: She is always inquiring, asking questions

– Adventurous: Rides a motorcycle, skydives.

– Negative opinion of humanity: Makes lots of negative comments about humans.

– Loves nature: Hikes, grows vegetable and flower gardens.

Ruthie Profiles People

What I learned: It’s intriguing to deep dive into the traits of someone you know, especially if you don’t care for them. This makes it challenging but necessary to think of a positive trait! (Again, due to Covid, this is from memory as opposed to IRL.)

Person 1.

Sneaky

Two-faced

Stubborn

Charming (superficially so)

When questioned on why they had not completed a task, they willfully suggested it was never going to happen. (Stubborn)

Person 2.

Argumentative

Self-centered

(Overly) Sensitive

Passionate

It was always very hard to get a word in edgewise, the conversation soon reverted to them.

Person 3

Entertaining

Dedicated

Natural leader

Social climber

Fun to be around but it’s always about appearances and what’s in it for them.

Artemis Craig (Deep into Your Characters)

What I learned from this assignment is to really look at what I want to convey about the character that can elevate the story.

Character traits = Person 1
1. Charming
2. Trustworthy
3. Procrastinator
4. Violent temper

Has a smile that pulls you in. Makes you feel they are for you.
Tells the truth and gains your trust.
Waits until the last minute when making major decisions.
Punches walls, breaks windows, windshield, throws tv when angry.

I don’t just like this person, I love them and fear for their safety.
Became a liar, manipulator, never get it done, seeking help
Character traits Person 2
1. Persistent
2. Arrogant
3. Self – doubt
4. Melodramatic

A nag when you’re not moving quickly enough.
Doesn’t mind hitting you over the head with their intelligence.
Hides the secret that they are unsure of themselves.
Pretends to blow up, when the moment arrives to go off they never do.

I like this person, but they test my patience.

Stayed a nag, toned down the arrogance, revealed the secret, still melodramatic.

Character traits Person 3
1. Dramatic
2. Angry
3. Sacrificial
4. Know- it- all

Over the top when met with push back
Lashes out aggressively when challenged
Puts themselves in position to be needed
Knows everything about any situation.

I don’t like this person at all.

Became even more dramatic, anger hides their cowardice, wants to be liked, doesn’t know crap.
