Situation - You are observing FAULTS and BAD HABITS

Look out for No.1™: Yes. Thinker. Looking out for No. 1 is simply the most natural, rational thing to do. When the oxygen masks drop, this pattern clearly understands that putting their own mask on first puts them in the best position not just to help themselves, but to help others too.

Waste of Oxygen Tagline™:The smug rabblerouser.

Observable Burden™: Aloof and cold.

Pattern's Fight Target™: Stagnancy.

Worst Quality™: Insensitive.

Responsibility Category™: Lower high - ambitious and has top strategy.

The Enhancer despises the idea of wasting their life, succumbing to mediocrity or failing to grow. They want to expand their vision of the world, their knowledge of the universe and their understanding of the meaning of all things. They want to explore ideas that have never been explored before.

Elizabeth Hunter™'s comments on this pattern's Pure Toxocity™: You are cold. As one of the most independent, private and strategic patterns, you are not exactly the warm fuzzy type - which is fine. But be aware that this can come off to more sensitive types as standoffish or cold. While a lot of people might claim to like blunt, direct, straightforward and authentic expression, the average person really does not like this. You find most people either loud or unintelligent or simply boring. When someone catches your eye, it is hard for you to let go because you so rarely like anyone.

Oxor™'s JEKYLL and HYDE prophesy: Category 4. Personality radically changes when affected by alcohol, drugs or by engaging in other addictive or reckless activities.
This sort of radical change normally occurs only when the individual is altered due to alcohol, drugs, gambling and other factors. This is what happened with Dr. Jekyll (Enhancer) after he drank a concoction he crafted in his laboratory and became the Results.
Can be more like the Results. e.g. Barge through to get things done.

Elizabeth Hunter™'s ACHILLIES HEEL description: ABSENCE OF SOCIAL SKILLS.

Elizabeth Hunter™'s LAZY BASTARD description and ranking: 11/16. They are always looking for ways to improve and will totally reject the at the idea of being termed “lazy.” That said, there are certain parts of their lives about which they can procrastinate or put off embracing which can give the appearance of laziness to other patterns.

Elizabeth Hunter™'s VILIFICATION description and ranking: 7/16. Vilified for being the villainous strategist, practical genius, strategic mind and ability to formulate and execute complex plans. Also, aloof, excessively blunt,attractive, smart, mean, cold, calculating mastermind.

Elizabeth Hunter™'s BAD HABIT description: They are big-picture thinkers with a skill for strategizing and innovating. One of the struggles they deal with is having a very singular vision and impatience for anything that gets in the way of realizing that vision, which, annoyingly to others, is generally correct. They are usually smart but, knowing this, can cause them to ignore other people’s views because they see them as distracting or a total waste of time. They can appear judgmental and condescending as a result.

Elizabeth Hunter™'s Chink Assessment™: Very ambitious in pursuit of their vision. Can struggle to bring their ideas and insights into the real world. Can lose track of nitty-gritty details that can eventually trip them up (minor - where they put their keys), (major - might make a huge plan to achieve their vision and it might fall apart because they did not realistically assess all the details needed to make it happen, including playing politics).

Elizabeth Hunter™'s VII Deadly Sinz™: Unwilling to take blame, arrogant, insensitive, judgmental, overly analytical, clueless in romance, hates rules.

Member of this VII Deadly Sinz Chapter™: PRIDE

Elizabeth Hunter™'s view of what the world would miss without this pattern™: Physicists, system engineers, business process improvement.

Fault - Being cold and calculating. Enhancers are intensely strategic and visionary. They are selfish when it comes to control. They favour logic and rational thought over their own emotions and feelings and will usually be confused by people who do the opposite. They do not pass the test for fun and usually get thrown under the bus by Directors, Results, Appraisers and Counselors. They consider the big picture and have little patience for extraneous details and feelings that might get in the way. People often misinterpret their direct speech and shrewd nature with meanness or snobbery, but what they need to realise is that Enhancers are honest and direct with the people they care about. They would consider it an insult to have messages “sugarcoated” for them so they refuse to do this to others. They favour bold honesty and are put off by social niceties that get in the way of the truth. It isn’t that they do not detect social cues, such as unease, but they decide to plow through as if it does not matter.
Significantly, Enhancers think very differently from most. They are all about logic, fact, evidence, test and response. They do not have opinions on matters where they do not have enough information. Enhancers only express opinions when they are pretty sure they are right. Other patterns do not use this approach, except for Inspirationals who use these approaches on a short-term, argument winning basis. This means Enhancers cannot really interact sanely with the rest of humanity who think facts are relative and things like opinions or feelings are important in arguments. Enhancers are unconcerned about this aspect.

Normal and toxic transfer.

1. Patterning. The Enhancer has not got the tag 'mastermind' without reason. They have an extraordinary ability to step back and see all the moving parts of a situation and pin point individual patterns within the situation. They are problem solvers. The Enhancer invented the concept “Worker smarter, not harder.” This is what allows them to move in what appears a seamless fashion and appear to stay one step ahead. But the unique aspect to this particular trait is that they are always in the moment. This means that they create patterns not plans. Plans are rigid and outlined, patterns are flexible.
In the toxic Enhancer, they have not grasped that they are best when they remain flexible with patterns and instead begin to tighten their grip and become extremely controlling of everything in their lives. When toxic and not functioning properly, they are no longer weaving a tapestry, they are instead trying to grab hold of thousands of marionette strings. This is driven by an inner panic. Because the Enhancer does not naturally tap into their own emotional ranges, they will register the panic without recognizing the driving force and this will in turn drive the the panic into anger. This manifests in lashing out at people around them, saying hurtful things without really hearing what they are saying just to drive people away because deep down they are frightened of them seeing through the mask of rage covering the panic. The Enhancer is complex and what you see on the surface level is rarely what you get.

2. Need for a Co-Pilot. The Enhancer has an unbelievable catalogue of information stored in their minds; truly impressive. But it does lend to a tendency to get stuck in logic loops. So, in a very literal sense, they need a co-pilot who will step in and disrupt the loop making. With the Enhancer, they will see point A. The problem is they bring in anything that relevantly ties to the contribution or solving of that problem. The catch here is that they have only their own experiences to draw from with this. It is just how they work through everything and, most of the time, they are completely fine relying on themselves.
But if it is a problem with unknown variables, the loop becomes one of “Okay here’s the problem, here’s what I know, but I know there’s something I’m missing, so all of this is probably garbage, so back to the drawing board.” And this goes on and on until their co-pilot steps in and provides new information that will help get the patterning back on track. But the Enhancer is far better as the pilot than the co-pilot; terrible on a team - fabulous in charge of it. 'If you are not the lead husky, the view never changes.'
In toxic mode, they will not recognize the need for an outside perspective, so they will fill in blanks with their own assumptions in an attempt to move on from the issue. They are logic based, so when they are not functioning properly they will trust their own thoughts and solutions without a second thought and will absolutely reject input from others. So they come across as stubborn, narcissistic and unyielding. (Elizabeth Hunter™ is a great example of this).
Everything else comes through filters of either communication skills, or the lack there of, or the need to fix absolutely everything and everyone.
If anyone is going to attempt to fix these issues, then it is going to come down to what the relationship is with the Enhancer. A technique is to practice generous assumptions, be patient, make sure they know they are dealing with someone they can trust, do not push them in any one direction, just let them know of a willingness to take the adventure with them. When they blow up (which is rare), be steady. This will surprise them. And mostly, just lead by example. They are observant and they do make note - they have fantastic memories and recall.

Observed as the Grumbling Griper™. When people do not see why their strategy is the best.

Observed technique scoring Own Goals™. The Enhancer sabotages their life by closing off from it.

Caveat Lector™ Read the Behaviour Pattern so you do not have any surprises down the road. The Enhancer may lead you into various conversational traps through which you have no choice but to admit that your logic is flawed.

Elizabeth Hunter™'s "More of a different kind": The hairball (Rapunzel) complex of an Investigator where they will never want to admit how much they care.

Elizabeth Hunter™'s Habitsecrecy™: Does not want to tell and does not tell.

Elizabeth Hunter™'s Streetwalker Observatory™: The one who’s silently judging everyone. | The least likely of all the patterns to believe in a higher spiritual power.

Elizabeth Hunter™'s Excuse Machine Rating™: 3. (Mid) Enhancers are intelligent people who can often come up with back up plans to avoid certain situations. They are not afraid of coming up with a quick excuse if they feel like they are wasting time with someone. Instead of investing energy telling someone the truth, they will likely come up with a decent excuse to avoid them altogether. This is not done often and instead they might just be blunt with someone. But in some cases they simply do not want to have to invest their energy trying to convince someone they dislike.

Elizabeth Hunter™'s Feelings Hurter™ - what will offend the Enhancer: Making assumptions. (Others jumping to conclusions when the Enhancer is in mid sentence.)

Propensity to exaggerate: Have unrealistic expectations; Are arrogant about their ideas; Are overly complex – everything is connected; Force data to fit their own ideas and patterns; Are driven inward and will not ask for help.

Virtue or Sin: Greed (Sin Rank 5/7) - A need for material possessions or wealth. If this need is unfed, a greedy person may resort to hoarding their goods, theft, robbery or obtaining material possessions by means of trickery, violence, deception, or manipulation. Greedy people may be easy to bribe, may take any bet or may do anything for a dollar. "Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind." Gordon Gekko.
Alternate sins: Pride, sloth, gluttony. With great leadership skills can come great arrogance. Developers, Enhancers and Perfectionists are particularly likely to cross the line from confident to cocky. The Practitioner tends to be less brazenly prideful, but their general stubbornness in their ways may leave them feeling superior to others.

Self-Improvement - General: Be aware of your overuse of bluntness, critical comments and attitude of aloofness.

Self-Improvement - Relationship: Avoid devaluing emotional expression.
The Enhancer is independent and intelligent, and prizes autonomy more than most other patterns. However, it is vital that they do not assume that someone who seeks less autonomy is automatically “clingy” or inept in some way. The Enhancer should remember to show the partner support, validation and assistance. They may feel love in their heart, but forget to verbalize it. They should write simple love notes on post-it notes and leave them on the partner’s mirror. And tell them they care about them. Bring those rich, inner feelings into the open so that the partner can be assured of ongoing support and affection.

Self-Improvement - Know this pattern's Idiosyncrasy: They are the ultimate non-conformist – they do not mind being different from the crowd, thinking for themselves and arguing against long-standing traditions that make no rational sense to them at all. Their highly-intellectual thinking capabilities paired with their individualistic values make them intense and fiercely independent. While these unique qualities can intimidate some, they are also characteristics that can be deeply admired.

Unique Doings - What only this pattern would do: Plans revenge so perfect that everyone thinks it was a natural disaster that only took out one person. The whole world is left scratching their heads when the sole victim has a volcano erupt under them, launching the said target into the sun. The Enhancer laughs heartily, for the first time in two years, watching their victim’s vapour trail enter the corona of the sun.

Addendum about the Enhancer.

"I am lost in my own head, furthering my own agendas and doing my own thing. Alone. Intentionally. I do not want to be distracted. I typically do not need anybody for anything. Unless you are a workplace that offers something enticing to occupy my ravenous mind, I cannot be distracted.
However, my mental frenzy is not a selfish pursuit. My goal is the continual improvement of everything imaginable and I am doing it for the greater good of humanity.
I do not offer the slightest crack, weakness or vulnerability for anybody to use as a means to infiltrate my concrete shell exterior. You will know nothing about me and have nothing to use as leverage. If you can conjure something amazing and get any opportunity to penetrate this barrier, there is a chance I will drop everything and make your happiness my plan, my goal and my priority. I will devise a way to put the universe (everything you have ever dreamed of) in the palm of your hands. But only if I deem you worthy. And, to make matters worse, that offer only lasts for as long as you can continue to exhaust yourself by keeping me interested.
If I do not see continual improvement, my priorities will be updated to rectify the inefficiency. I will go right back to doing my own thing leaving you to wonder if I even recognise you anymore. Pretty tough to deal with, right? Impossible.
I am often just wearing a mask in front of you, a sort of performance that I must do in order to get the result they I want. When I am tired of this charade or realize it is not worth it anymore, I will just go AWOL and focus on whatever I have now decided is important - to achieve my goals or to unwind from society and its destructive nature.
Just ask me and I would usually tell you. It may be harder to find me if I am ghosting everyone but if you are persistent, I will tell you why just so you can leave me alone.
After a lifetime of lessons learned along the way and lots of soul searching, I eventually outgrew that dreaded personality specific Insufferable Bastard Syndrome and toned down my eccentric nature. That is because I am one of the smart Enhancers."

Some Cool Facts.

1. The less you say, the words matter more to people.
2. People are generally more honest when physically tired. This is why people confess things during late night conversations.
3. Studies show that we are more attracted to people who look similar to us.
4. In friendship, when a person refuses to discuss a problem there is no chance of ever getting it resolved.
5. Research has found that lonely people have superior social skills compared with people who are not lonely.
6. Women who wear red are found to be more attractive by men and also there are higher chances that they would be asked on a date.
7. It is claimed that it is scientifically proven that the company of good friends reduces stress in life.
8. Psychologists examined Internet trolls and found that they are "narcissistic, psychopathic and sadistic".
9. Young adults who use social media the most are the ones most deprived and desiring of a healthy social life. They tend to gravitate towards social media hoping to fill a void but do not find it there.

Top 5 criteria of certain people to avoid.

1. Crooks. Never do business with crooks because sooner or later they will get you. However, some people often do business with shady types because they think that they are getting a deal. And then they find out their not the one getting the deal. Avoid them. Example - Toxic Inspirational - Grand larceny, promises 200% returns, uses offshore bank tax accounts. You can thank Oxor™ for this useful tip.
2. Abusers. If someone abuses you once tell them to hit the road not hit you. However, people stay in relationships with abusers. And keep taking back them back when they promise that they have changed only to get abused again. One and done. Example - Toxic Developer - The bully. You can thank Oxor™ for this useful tip.
3. Pessimists. Life is tough enough without looking for the rainstorm behind every silver lining. However, people fill their lives with those who do that and cannot understand why they are unhappy. Fill your life with positive people. Example - Toxic Objective Thinker - pessimistic by default due to bad experiences. You can thank Oxor™ for this useful tip.
4. Doubters. To be successful you need to believe that you will be successful and avoid those who tell you otherwise. However, people fill their lives with those who tell them that they will fail and then they cannot understand why they do. Fill your life with those who believe in you. Example - Toxic Agent, Perfectionist, Promoter and Inspirational - Are often slow to draw firm conclusions especially when combined with excessive rumination or analysis, openness supplies the perfect conditions for doubt to take root and grow. You can thank Oxor™ for this useful tip.
5. Drainers. Some people will only suck you dry. However, people stay in relationships with those who constantly do that. And then wonder why they are always drained. Fill your life with those who fill you and avoid those who do not. Example - Toxic Promoter who only cares about others in terms of how much they can get out of them. You can thank Oxor™ for this useful tip.
E. Hunter™ comment: Some may say, “But these people need help.” And it is possibly true that they do. Let them pay a therapist who has no personal relationship with them. This is because if you drown trying to save someone who is drowning it will not help either one of you. Concentrate on your own desired success but only if you fill your life with people who help you to be greater.
Oxor™ has encountered them all. Thankfully, they moved on to bless someone else.

Top 10 criteria for Mental Health Signs.

DISC does not take into account mental health issues. But watch out for these, says Oxor™.

Start to be wary if the person in front of you has one or a few of these.

1. Pee-shyness. (Paruresis). While this quirk is generally something that men exhibit, it can be present in women as well. Another word for this strange action is “pee-shyness”, which is the inability of using the bathroom around other people.
Paruresis happens commonly in bathroom stalls in public places. There is an overwhelming feeling of panic due to the fear of being watched.
Although 7% of people admit having this issue, it is usually laughed at and considered just a personality trait. The truth is, Paruresis is a serious issue and can disrupt life, even to the point where sufferers are not able to use their own bathroom when other people are in the house. Example: Our Melbourne agent, W. Kent Schleede™ knew of a gentleman (Persuader) whereby the locker room gossip said he had 21cm. This gent always went to the cubicle - even at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. You can thank Oxor™ for this useful tip.

2. Nail biting. (Onychophagia) There are millions of people who bite their nails, so it’s no surprise this is seen as a normal habit. In fact, around 45% of all teenagers bite their nails. Not a big deal, right? Well, it can be.
Nail biting can not only damage the cuticle, but it can also spread bacteria from other parts of the body to the mouth. And wear out your teeth. Aversion therapy and behavioural therapy, under the care of a doctor, can be used to eliminate this problem. Nail biting is often present in anxiety. Example: Our Melbourne agent, W. Kent Schleede™ knew of a gentleman in his 20s (Objective Thinker) who wore down his front teeth because of this. Kent was successful in reducing this annoying habit. You can thank Oxor™ for this useful tip.

3. Hermit. Being an introvert is not a bad thing, not at all. But becoming an outright hermit is often looked down upon.
Many times severe introversion is just brushed off as being slightly out-of-the-ordinary but, in extreme cases, being isolated for too long can be dangerous. This can be a sign of mental health disorders. Example: Our Melbourne agent, W. Kent Schleede™ knew of a gentleman in his 20s (Objective Thinker) who became this - unruly hair etc. and no desire to leave the house. Mum did everything. Kent moved on. You can thank Oxor™ for this useful tip.

4. Paranoia. It might be funny to listen to a paranoid person talk, but it can get serious. When paranoia keeps you locked away at all times and prevents you from socializing with anyone, then it could be a problem having this level of paranoia.
Some people become so paranoid that they are convinced the world is out to get them. Mental disorders such as bipolar disorder and anxiety all have a bit of delusional paranoia involved. Example: Our Melbourne agent, W. Kent Schleede™ observed a neighbour (Promoter) who thought she was going to be robbed all the time imagining people lurking in the bushes. Neighbour now ignored. You can thank Oxor™ for this useful tip.

5. Order and numbers. A common symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder, hidden as a personality characteristic, is the habit of extreme orderliness. It is easy to miss this symptom because it is thought to be a positive thing.
Being neat, putting things in order by colour or number, or being a “neat freak” is admirable in this day and age.
The thing is, no matter how hygienic you are, however, it is not okay to be obsessive, even about cleanliness. Moderation should always be observed, no matter the situation. Example: Our Melbourne agent, W. Kent Schleede™ was invited to dinner by a Director. The dining room table, a beautiful piece of furniture, could not be used because something might be spilt on it. McDonald's was the next venue; alone. You can thank Oxor™ for this useful tip.

6. Fatigue. There are many causes of fatigue and sleepiness. One of the most common causes is just plain old exhaustion. But there are those who seem to be sleepy all the time or be so tired when no physical activity is involved.
Depression has a way of zapping all energy as if its sufferer has not had a moment’s rest in days. There could be a number of reasons for this, such as chronic fatigue or inflammation within the body. If physical examinations are not showing anything, it could be mental. Example: Our Melbourne agent, W. Kent Schleede™ had a friend (Objevtive Thinker) who was compaining about being tired all the time. Bye! You can thank Oxor™ for this useful tip.

7. Fidgeting. Fidgeting is not uncommon, but severe movements of this kind for prolonged periods of time can affect everyday life. As many of you know, some drugs cause fidgeting and jerky movements which are similar to those of anxiety sufferers.
These fidgety movements include not being able to keep fingers and feet still, pacing around the room, and asking rapid questions. This behaviour is intense and without treatment will only get worse.
No, it’s not just a goofy habit, fidgeting is much worse than that. Example: Our Melbourne agent, W. Kent Schleede™ was in a meeting when a Promoter just could not keep still. Kent resigned his position. You can thank Oxor™ for this useful tip.

8. Safety obsession. It is normal to be concerned for your safety considering what you hear on the news every day. But being overly concerned can actually be associated with mental health disorders.
If you have noticed someone repeatedly checking the locks on their doors, or constantly worried about whether they have turned off the stove, then something could be wrong. The obsessive-compulsive disorder causes some people to become stuck in patterns of safety concerns.
They feel like something bad will happen if they do not call and check on loved ones a certain number of times, or if they do not look out of their windows to check for criminals over and over again.
This behaviour can become so negative that it can dominate their lives. No, it is not just a cute quirk. Example: Our Melbourne agent, W. Kent Schleede™ had neighbours (Persuader and Practitioner) who would not arrange an agreed lunch because of an obsessive fear of being contaminated by people or the environment at the resurand due to Covid. Kent cooks at home now. You can thank Oxor™ for this useful tip.

9. Extreme boredom. Have you ever met someone who just cannot find enough excitement in life? Well, you probably noticed they are bored all the time. Guess what, this is not normal.
Extreme boredom is usually the result of depression and the inability to be alone with your own thoughts. If someone is never satisfied to be ordinary, then they may be suffering from a serious problem within themselves. Example: Our Melbourne agent, W. Kent Schleede™ was in a start up company where the Chair and CEO (Promoter) was bored all the time and hogged the meetings accordingly. Kent resigned. You can thank Oxor™ for this useful tip.

10. Hoarding. You might think it is adorable how your Uncle Henry collects newspapers, but it gets serious when he has stacks of them lining the hallways of his apartment. What about how he keeps old clothes out of sentimental longing? Or a garage so full of junk you could not fit another piece of paper inside.
Well, this is called hoarding, and it is a disease. Most of the time, in these circumstances, the hoarders find new reasons to keep new categories of things.
Although it may not happen, Uncle Henry could start keeping even more things until his home becomes an unsanitary and dangerous place to live. Yes, at first glance, it seems sweet and endearing, but take a closer look at hoarding, it is a mental health issue. Example: Our Melbourne agent, W. Kent Schleede™ visited a residence (Disc - Specialist) with rats crossing the floor. Never been back. You can thank Oxor™ for this useful tip.

Fruitcake and Sleazeball Scores™.

The Fruitcake Score™ (on a scale of 1 to 5) indicates a lack of empathy for other people and tolerance for antisocial orientations and a lacking in conscience.

The Sleazeball Score™ (on a scale of 1 to 5) indicates rule breaking including a lack of respect of laws, authorities and ethics, irresponsible behaviour, a lack of effort towards socially rewarded behaviour and a disregard for decency.

The two highest scoring on both criteria are the Inspirational and the Results. No surprises there.

The toxic Results is the classic risk taker and your common bully and fraudster.

Neither the Results or the Inspirational care an ess, aitch, one, tee about rules and what is considered tolerable or acceptable by others: they both consider rules are made for fools and servile (meanly or cravenly [=contemptibly fainthearted] submissive) types.

All Rationals (Thinkers) - Developer, Inspirational, Perfectionist and Enhancer - score high on the Fruitcake Score™.

The Enhancer is often vilified as a "psychopathic" or a "fruitcake" type, but they score surprisingly low on the Sleazeball Score™. The Enhancer is often very cold and appears unempathetic but has a very strong inner core of values, honour, ethics and integrity.

The Perfectionist is often vilified (correctly) for the lack of empathy for people.

All Artisans (Perceptive) - Results, Achiever, Counselor, Specialist - tend to score higher on the Sleazeball Score™ than the Guardians (Judging) - Director, Objective Thinker, Appraiser, Practitioner.

This is because Artisans are by nature more chaotic, adaptable, manipulative and spontaneous than Guardians who thrive on rules and regular conditions.

Artisan types are more likely to break the rules regulations or processes to gain what they want than Idealists (Judging) - Persuader, Investigator, Promoter, Agent who are the Social Justice Warriors and who score low on both criteria.

The Director scores quite high on both scales, which is not a surprise, given the 'my way or the highway' modus operandi.

The most "normal", whatever that means, are the Appraiser, Counselor, Practitioner and Investigator! The Appraiser and Counselor consume management resources, the Practitioner is a hard worker but unpromotable while the Investigator tends not to follow a traditional career. Facsinating...
