You quickly spot the flaw in a process, an app or the holiday plan. That urge to correct usually comes from a real wish for things to go well. When your critique has been asked for, it saves everyone a lot of time.
What several sources agree on
- This channel links the Root to the Spleen, so a steady pressure pushes you to fix what is off.
- Your improvements aim at ways of doing things that serve everyone, and they prove themselves in practice.
- Your vigilance hardly ever switches off: there is always one more notch of better.
- Aim at the method or the system rather than the person: your critique lands much better that way.
- When a system fails, you tend to blame yourself, when it may simply need updating.
The trap
Constantly correcting the people around you, until they hear blame where you meant help.
