Situation - A person, depending on their Disc, appears to be vulnerable and insecure is in front of you. Or depending on their Disc, has the external world interfering with their external world.
Watch them. On the phone. Or texting. Or emailing. Or at a meeting. Or in a social setting. Or at sport, etc. etc. What is their Behaviour Pattern? Super-impose correctly, depending on the outcome that you want. Agreeableness or painting them into an uncomfortable corner?

I depend on external information and experience to guide me and to inform my thoughts.
If I do not get that I am insecure and you have got me by the balls.

You may detest me because of my certainty about how I should live my life and that I can sometimes be dictatorial, aggressive, controlling and that I am The Drill Sergeant.

Why this Judging pattern is on the hooks: They can feel insecure is when they are placed in a situation that does not allow for any preparation or pre-planning. If they are asked to make a decision on the spot, without any time for forethought or research, they may feel overwhelmed and underprepared.
They can also find adapting to change stressful. Even if the change is for the better, they may resist it because they are so used to having everything in its place. They need time to adjust and find a new plan of attack before they can embrace the change.

Why this Thinking and Judging pattern is on the hooks: This combination of key aspects means that they make their decisions based on logical analysis. They try to create sensible plans, structures and guidelines with which to organize their lives. In doing so, they hope to get peoples’ needs met in the most fair way possible. They might very well come up with a strategy or plan that will meet someone’s resource needs such as money or food.

This pattern's most Ghastly Ordeal™ occurs when: The world appears to run by the whims of feelings, where rationality is as useful as diet water and their much-loved order has been replaced by emotional chaos. Logic is laughed off, business decisions are made using emotional compasses and ‘unpacking their feelings’ is the new Monday morning meeting.

The Michael Acacius Hunt Angle™:

They look for ways to organize, critique or make logical sense of the world around them. Deny that and the insecurity is easy to see.
