Present an argument in favor of using public transportation. | Public transportation is an important aspect of any modern society. It is an efficient way to move large numbers of people throughout a city, reducing the carbon footprint and mitigating road congestion. Here are several reasons why using public transportation should be considered.
Firstly, by utilizing public transportation, individuals are able to reduce their carbon emissions. Cars and trucks are a leading source of air pollution in cities, and using buses, trains or subways instead can significantly reduce the number of personal vehicles on the road.
Secondly, public transportation reduces traffic congestion. With fewer cars on the road, there is less of a likelihood of traffic jams and road gridlock. This can lead to decreased travel times for everyone, as well as improved road safety.
Thirdly, public transportation is often cheaper than owning a personal car. Aside from the initial purchase of a car, the cost of fuel, maintenance, and insurance can add up significantly over time. In contrast, taking the bus or train is often much more affordable, especially when monthly or yearly passes are utilized.
Finally, using public transportation can decrease stress levels. Driving in heavy traffic can be stressful and frustrating, leading to high levels of agitation and anxiety. By using public transportation, commuters can enjoy their commute by reading, listening to music or simply relaxing.
In conclusion, there are many arguments in favor of using public transportation. It reduces carbon emissions, mitigates congestion, saves individuals money and can decrease stress levels. With all these advantages, it's definitely worth considering making the switch to public transit. |

Explain the concept of exponential growth. | Exponential growth refers to a rate of increase that becomes increasingly rapid over time, resulting in an explosion in the growth of a quantity. This type of growth occurs when the rate of change of something is proportional to its current value. In other words, as the quantity grows, the rate of growth also grows, leading to a snowballing effect.
One popular example of exponential growth is population growth. If a population is increasing at a rate proportional to its size, then the larger the population gets, the faster it will continue to grow. Similarly, the concept of compounding interest is also an example of exponential growth, where the interest earned on an investment is added back to the principal, increasing the rate at which it grows.
Exponential growth is often represented graphically as a curve that starts off slowly, but then becomes steeper and steeper over time, and can be described mathematically using an exponential function. It's an important concept in many fields, including biology, finance, and physics, and is often used to model and predict the growth of various phenomena.
Overall, exponential growth represents a powerful force that can result in significant change over time. However, it's important to note that exponential growth can't continue indefinitely, since it will eventually reach physical or practical limitations. |

Explique describe the game of chess in terms of its key components: objective, player interaction, and basic rules. | The objective of chess is to checkmate the opponent's king, which means trapping it such that it cannot escape capture on the next move. Player interaction involves two players taking turns to move one of their 16 pieces on the 8x8 chessboard. The basic rules are as follows: each type of piece (pawn, rook, knight, bishop, queen, and king) has a distinct way of moving, capturing the opponent's pieces is optional, and only one piece may be moved per turn. A game of chess can end in a checkmate, stalemate (when neither player can make a legal move), draw by agreement, or due to reaching a predetermined number of half-moves without any piece being captured or any pawn being moved. |

Produce a story about a bear. | Once upon a time, deep in the heart of the forest, there lived a great big, fuzzy bear. His fur coat was thick and warm, a deep shade of brown that shone in the dappled sunlight filtering through the forest canopy. His name was Max and he was the king of the forest.
Life was good for Max. He had plenty of food to eat, thanks to the abundance of fruit trees and berry bushes that grew in the heart of the forest. He would spend his days wandering through the woods, snacking on the sweet, juicy fruits that he would find, before returning to his cozy den to take a long nap.
But though Max was content with his simple life, he was a curious bear, always yearning to see new sights and discover new adventures. One day, he caught the scent of something new and unusual, and followed it deep into the forest, until he came to a wide clearing that he had never seen before.
There in the center of the clearing was a shining golden object that sparkled in the sun. Max approached it curiously, and as he touched it with his big fuzzy paw, he was suddenly transported to a magical kingdom, filled with all kinds of wondrous sights and sounds.
At first, Max was a little fearful, but as he explored this new land, he found that there was nothing to be afraid of. The creatures that lived there were friendly and welcoming, and the sights and sounds were like nothing he had ever experienced before.
For many days and nights, Max roamed this magical kingdom, discovering new adventures and making many friends along the way. But eventually, he realized that it was time for him to return to his own home, deep in the heart of the forest.
He said goodbye to his new friends and returned to the clearing where he had first found the magical golden object. This time, as he touched it, he was transported back to his own world, where he returned to his cozy den, filled with memories of his amazing adventure.
From that day on, Max was even more content with his life in the forest, knowing that there was always the possibility of new adventures waiting for him, just beyond the horizon. And he was grateful for the friends he had made in that magical kingdom, and the memories that he would always treasure. |

Analyze the pros and cons of online shopping. | Online shopping has drastically changed the way we purchase goods and services. Like anything else it has its advantages and disadvantages. Below are some of the pros and cons of online shopping:
Pros:
- Convenience: One of the most significant advantages of online shopping is the convenience it provides. You can shop anytime, anywhere without the need to leave your home or office.
- Wide range of products: Online shopping provides access to a vast array of products. You can buy almost anything online, from groceries to electronics, clothes, and much more.
- Easy price comparison: It's much easier to compare prices when shopping online. You can quickly check prices from multiple vendors without having to visit different physical stores.
- Saves time: Online shopping saves time as you don't need to travel to a physical store or spend time searching for what you need. Everything is just a few clicks away.
- Better deals: Online shopping often provides better deals as online stores have lower overhead costs and can pass the savings onto customers.
Cons:
- Risk of fraud and scams: Online shopping comes with the risk of fraud and scams. It's essential to be cautious and only shop from reputable online stores.
- Shipping time: While online shopping is convenient, it often comes with longer shipping times. You may have to wait several days or weeks to receive your order.
- Shipping cost: Many online stores charge for shipping, which can increase the cost of your purchase.
- No physical examination: When shopping online, you can't touch or try on products before purchasing. This can be problematic when buying clothes, shoes, or other items that need to fit well.
- No personal interaction: Online shopping lacks the personal interaction that comes with in-store shopping. You can't ask for immediate help or advice from a salesperson.
In conclusion, online shopping provides convenience, a wide range of products, easy price comparison, time-saving, and better deals. However, it also comes with the risk of fraud and scams, longer shipping times, shipping costs, inability to physically examine products, and lack of personal interaction. It's essential to weigh the pros and cons and decide if online shopping is the best option for you. |

Summarize the story of Little Red Riding Hood. | Little Red Riding Hood is a fairy tale about a young girl and a big bad wolf. The story begins with the girl, named Little Red Riding Hood for her red hooded cape, setting off through the woods to deliver food to her sick grandmother. Along the way, she meets a wolf who asks where she is headed. The wolf hatches a plan and gets to the grandmother’s house first, where he disguises himself as the grandmother. When Little Red Riding Hood arrives, she is initially fooled by the wolf’s disguise, but soon realizes that something is wrong. In the end, a woodsman comes to the rescue, killing the wolf and saving Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother. The tale has many variations, but the moral typically warns children against talking to strangers and wandering off the path. |

Explique describe the differences between a pig and a cow. | Pigs and cows are both domesticated farm animals, but there are several differences between them in terms of physical characteristics, behavior, and dietary habits.
Physical Characteristics: In terms of appearance, pigs have a round, stocky build, and a short snout for digging and foraging, while cows are larger, have a more elongated build, and feature a broader snout. Pigs have a thick layer of fat beneath their skin, while cows have comparatively leaner bodies. Additionally, pigs have small, triangular ears while cow ears are larger and more oval-shaped.
Behavior: Pigs are highly social animals that live in groups, communicate vocally, and are known for their intelligence, curiosity and ability to learn. Cows are also social animals and form strong bonds with other members of their herd. However, they are less active than pigs, and prefer to graze and rest for most of the day.
Dietary Habits: Pigs are omnivores and will eat almost anything, including plants, fruits, vegetables, and even small animals. Cows, on the other hand, are herbivores, and subsist on a diet of grasses, hay, and grains. Pigs have a one-chambered stomach, while cows have a four-chambered stomach, which allows them to break down and digest tough plant matter.
These are just a few of the key differences between pigs and cows. |

Explique por qué hay personas brillantes que fracasan profesionalmente. | 1. Los estereotipos: El mundo presenta diversos referentes de éxito profesional con los cuales la mayoría de las personas se identifican, ya que en ellos se evidencia reconocimiento y considerables logros en sus trayectorias. Estos prototipos, por ejemplo, pueden ser exponentes en los campos de la medicina, la música o el mundo empresarial. Sin embargo, las personas no se detienen a pensar en las razones por las cuales estos profesionales exitosos lo lograron, en qué momento se encontraban o cuáles eran sus preferencias y su comportamiento. Entonces ¿Cuál es la clave.y ¿Qué se podría hacer para triunfar?. Se tendería a pensar que tal vez exista un estereotipo y una fórmula, ignorando por completo que la mejor fórmula es la propia, la de cada persona, tal como lo veremos en este libro. Todo comienza cuando llegamos a la vida laboral. Nos embarga la ilusión, la idea de aprender, de desarrollar nuevas habilidades, conocer gente y obtener nuevas oportunidades, pero en el camino nos encontramos con innumerables situaciones que nos afectan para bien o para mal en nuestro proyecto personal. La situación del entorno, el clima laboral, la cultura de las organizaciones, los jefes, el nivel de colaboración de los compañeros y la dificultad misma del trabajo que debemos desempeñar, todas estas son variables que terminan siendo, para unos, peldaños de progreso y para otros, barreras infranqueables que no les permiten lograr su exitosa proyección en el mundo laboral.
Las personas fracasan por muchas razones: porque no les gusta su trabajo, porque desconocen qué es lo más importante que deben lograr; también fracasan porque no están realmente motivados a trabajar, no se sienten a gusto con su jefe, no saben cómo llevársela bien con sus compañeros, no están preparados para hacer lo que les corresponde o sienten apatía por la organización.
La presión, faltas al respeto y a la dignidad, omisión de la información por parte de los superiores, ausencia de los recursos necesarios para realizar correctamente el trabajo y las condiciones físicas del lugar, son aspectos que se suman para obstaculizar el óptimo desempeño en el cargo.
La respuesta se debe en esencia a que las personas no se conocen lo suficiente, no saben cuáles son sus limitaciones, sus motivadores y su zona de genialidad; no reconocen cómo podrían adaptarse al entorno de forma más inteligente y muchas veces no pueden o no quieren arriesgarse a salir de su zona de confort para buscar otras oportunidades que les permita liberar su potencial. |

Explique por qué hay personas brillantes que fracasan profesionalmente. | 2. Primero \'ser\', segundo \'hacer\' para poder \'tener\': Para iniciar el proceso de conocerse a usted mismo y liderar su potencial, es crucial realizar tres tipos de reflexiones: ¿Quién soy?, ¿Qué hago.y ¿Qué tengo.En consecuencia, se debe analizar la relación entre ellas, como lo veremos a continuación. El primer cuestionamiento, ¿Quién soy?, parecería obvio, pero tendrá que responderse a la luz de una profunda reflexión, con el establecimiento de las pautas fundamentales de nuestra identidad, lo cual es crucial para darle un rumbo a nuestra vida y poder diferenciar que no somos necesariamente lo que hacemos, ni mucho menos lo que tenemos.
Nuestra identidad se forja desde la niñez, con el cúmulo de las experiencias vividas, positivas y negativas, las cuales han incidido en el desarrollo psicológico, fisiológico y social. Están definidas por aspectos heredados como el temperamento y la formación de nuestro carácter, teniendo en cuenta el entorno cultural donde nos criamos.
La segunda pregunta en orden de importancia es ¿Qué hago yo.Responde a qué me dedico, en qué me he formado, cómo me gano la vida o cómo me he preparado para subsistir. Este interrogante se concreta aún más al analizar a qué le dedico tiempo en mi vida y lo más importante, qué grado de relación tiene lo que hago con respecto a quien soy. Qué tan conforme me siento con lo que hago y qué tanto me inspira y me motiva levantarme todos los días para ir a estudiar o a trabajar.
La última pregunta, ¿Qué tengo?, hace referencia a las posesiones tangibles o intangibles. Lo que poseo y más valoro, con las que puedo subsistir y que han sido el fruto del esfuerzo en el tiempo, probablemente como resultado de lo que hago.
Una de las razones para entender por qué las personas tienen dificultades en lograr el éxito personal y profesional, radica en que muchas veces se invierte el orden de las preguntas. Existen personas que primero quieren \'tener\' para poder \'ser\', pero esto suele ser efímero y vacío, pues no se debe proyectar la identidad a partir de las posesiones en vista de que se podrían perder en cualquier momento.
Como resultado de lo anterior, se crearía la necesidad de tener que \'hacer\', esto implica endeudarse para pagar lo que se ha adquirido, es \'hipotecar el futuro\' y se corre el riesgo de volverse esclavo de un proyecto de vida que no es sostenible en el tiempo, porque está basado más en proyectar una imagen frente a los demás, que en ser feliz.
Por eso evite caer en la trampa del ego, esa imagen que por vanidad se construye de uno mismo, por imposición social o por supervivencia, pues esto puede conllevar a pasar muchos años detrás de una idea de lo que se debe \'tener\' para poder \'ser\' y luego trabajar duro para pagarlo (hacer). La vida es muy corta para desperdiciarla siguiendo una idea que finalmente le distraerá de disfrutarla como realmente se quiere.
En conclusión: La clave consiste en definir en el orden estipulado, quién es (ser), cuál es su potencial, cuáles son sus limitantes naturales y qué le apasiona realmente en la vida para poder actuar (hacer). En consecuencia, obtendrá lo que realmente se merece (tener), de esta manera se aumentarán las probabilidades de ser exitoso en el ámbito personal y profesional. |

Explique cómo liberar el potencial de una persona. | 3. El desconocimiento de su propio potencial: Para descubrir su zona de la genialidad, lo primero que deberá entender es que ni usted ni nadie es bueno en todo. Le fueron otorgados unos talentos y la clave está en identificar cuáles son, para saber a qué dedicarse y aumentar las probabilidades de éxito con el paso de los años.
Es importante establecer qué actividades le gusta realizar y cuáles no, qué tareas disfruta más y cuales le generan agotamiento o desinterés, con qué tipo de personas se pouede comunicar con mayor facilidad y con cuáles no, qué temas le gustan y cuáles le aburren, en qué actividades logra desempeñarse mejor y en cuáles no. De la claridad que tenga sobre estos aspectos y de la determinación para delegar o evitar las que le incomodan, depende el inicio de la definición de su potencial.
Según la consultora y Coach Marcela Rodríguez, co-fundadora de Drive Consulting, lo que aparentemente tanto nos gusta puede venir de una dinámica creada a muy temprana edad como consecuencia de lo que se denomina la \'Huella Sagrada\'.
Se genera como consecuencia de un trauma emocional, el cual queda registrado en la memoria celular. Para protegernos y sobrevivir, nos volvemos expertos en como superarla adoptando dinámicas comportamentales que nos limitan y que se manifiestan en nuestra forma de abordar las diferentes situaciones.
Proyectarnos verdaderamente desde la zona de la genialidad implica conocer y sanar nuestra \'Huella Sagrada\'.
Esta es una experiencia liberadora, que posibilita que aflore al máximo nuestro verdadero potencial y nos permite conocer y manifestar nuestro propósito de vida.
Según la Coach, Marcela Rodríguez, este proceso se logra con una mezcla de diferentes metodologías que vienen del mundo terapéutico.
Con este cimentamos las bases para un plan personal expansivo que le permitirá proyectar al máximo la zona de la genialidad. |

Explique por qué es importante hablar en colores. | El mundo no es del color que usted lo ve, es del color que lo ve cada persona. Esta distinción es importante hacerla si se quiere potenciar al máximo las capacidades de las personas. Frente a las percepciones, podría entenderse que si una persona se considera organizada, posiblemente para su pareja sea percibida como demasiado rígida; si alguien se cree empático y social, tal vez para su jefe podría ser alguien que habla demasiado, o un compañero de trabajo que considera que habla con franqueza, para otro podrá significar que se expresa con dureza y falta de tacto. Entender este aspecto es fundamental porque le permitirá conocer mejor el estilo de cada persona y cómo usted se ve y ve a los demás.
Las percepciones son consideradas como verdades relativas porque están sesgadas por el punto de vista de cada quien y se expresan a partir de los gustos, preferencias, estilo de trabajo y formas de ver el mundo. Esto se da de manera involuntaria, normalmente se construyen en la mente de las personas de forma intuitiva y, en cuestión de minutos, se genera un impacto directo en la forma de relacionarnos con los demás.
Este método está basado en una práctica fórmula inspirada en el DISC, ilustrada por Hipócrates hace más de 2.400 años y posteriormente
perfeccionada por William Moulton Marston en 1.929, que permite conocerse a sí mismo y entender a las personas en los contextos personal y laboral. En ella se destaca la existencia de 4 tipos de perfiles, que son objeto del presente libro: los Determinantes o Rojos (Racionales y Activos), Influyentes o Amarillos (Activos y Emotivos), Serenos o Verdes (Pausados y Emotivos) y Concienzudos o Azules (Racionales y Pausados). |
|
Explique cual es la teoria de los 4 humores. | Hipócrates planteó que el cuerpo humano estaba compuesto de cuatro sustancias básicas llamadas \'humores\' (líquidos), las cuales indicaban el estado de salud de la persona. Explicaba cómo el exceso o déficit de alguno de estos cuatro elementos, determinaba el estado de la salud y sus posibles enfermedades.
La bilis, la bilis negra, la flema y la sangre, fueron los componentes analizados por Hipócrates para emitir un diagnóstico en el que también la personalidad se vería afectada. Por ejemplo, los individuos con exceso de bilis eran considerados como coléricos, aquellos con altos niveles de sangre, como sociables; quienes tenían bilis negra, eran percibidos como melancólicos y los que poseían flema, eran más calmados. |
|
Explique que es un perfil colerico según Hipocrates. | Consideraba que su humor se daba por causa de la bilis amarilla. Los órganos generadores de este líquido son el hígado y la vesícula biliar. A estas personas las caracteriza el elemento del fuego y son conocidas por tener mal temperamento y ser fáciles de enojar. |
|
Explique que es un perfil sanguineo según Hipocrates. | Definió que el humor de estas personas se da por el volumen de la sangre. El corazón es el responsable del aumento de este líquido; se les asocia con el elemento aire. Sus características principales son el optimismo, la esperanza y el sentimiento. |
|
Explique que es un perfil melancolicos según Hipocrates. | El humor para este tipo de personas es ocasionado por la bilis negra. El órgano que lo produce es el bazo. De elemento tierra, generalmente estos individuos son conocidos por ser somnolientos, abatidos y depresivos. |
|
Explique que es un perfil flematicos según Hipocrates. | Como su nombre lo indica, el exceso de flema es el humor que abunda en sus cuerpos. Los órganos generadores del líquido son el cerebro y los pulmones; su elemento representativo es el agua y se caracterizan por ser personas calmadas, racionales e indiferentes. |
|
Explique de donde salio el DISC. | El psicólogo estadounidense William Moulton Marston, nació en 1.893 y falleció en 1947. Formado en la Universidad de Harvard, Marston tuvo un brillante recorrido profesional con diversos matices, fue uno de los precursores del polígrafo, revindicó la importancia de la mujer en la sociedad y realizó investigaciones acerca del poder y su efecto sobre la personalidad y la conducta humana.
Su principal obra estuvo basada en la investigación y en el entendimiento del comportamiento humano. Este insumo le permitió escribir el libro \'The Emotions of Normal People\', publicado en 1.928, en el que planteaba que las personas canalizaban su \'energía mental\' en cuatro direcciones: el Dominio, la Influencia, la Sumisión y la Conformidad con las normas.
Históricamente el DISC se ha conocido como una prueba psicométrica. El modelo DISC se basa en la tipología descrita en el trabajo del psicólogo William Moulton Marston. Desde 1929 hasta la actualidad el modelo básico de William Moulton Marston no ha cambiado significativamente. Marston desarrolló su tipología a partir de la teoría \'auto motor\' y de \'estímulos motores\' del campo de la fisiología. Este concepto, sin embargo, no ha prevalecido en la ciencia, pero fue punto de partida para el desarrollo de modelos más actuales. Una segunda fuente sobre la que Marston basó su estudio fueron las observaciones que la médica Edith Spaulding realizó en cerca de 250 niños con problemas de conducta. La tercera fuente en la que Marston se basó para construir su tipología se apoyó en un conjunto de estudios de personalidad realizados en los ocupantes de una cárcel de Texas (Estados Unidos). El comportamiento de estos individuos fue dividido
cuatro grupos por Marston, de los cuales se deriva el acrónimo DISC. |
|
Explique de que trata el libro The Emotions of Normal People. | Con este libro William Moulton Marston, demostró que el comportamiento humano se podía analizar y su método sería aplicable tanto para los casos clínicos o patológicos, como para el promedio de las personas normales. A través de su obra estableció los factores que definieron el comportamiento humano en condiciones naturales y su respuesta al entorno, lo cual se constituyó en una base importante para la medición de la personalidad, y en una fuente crucial para las futuras investigaciones de uso práctico en la vida escolar y empresarial. |
|
Explique cual ha sido la evolución de la metodología DISC. | A partir de esta teoría y de la publicación \'Integrative Psychology\' (1931), realizada por Marston y el investigador Walter V. Clarke, se desarrollaron los cimientos para la creación de diferentes herramientas que permitieron realizar evaluaciones y mediciones para predecir el comportamiento humano. Posteriormente Clarke continuó con el desarrollo de esta teoría e ideó la herramienta AVA (Activista Vector Análisis), aplicada en el campo militar.
Adicionalmente, el psicólogo conductista John Geier, de la Universidad de Minnesota, desarrolló en la década de 1990 el modelo de personalidad DISC como herramienta psicológica para comprender la conducta. El modelo de personalidad DISC refleja cómo responde la persona que se auto-administra la prueba ante diferentes situaciones en función de la percepción que dicha persona tiene de las mismas. El modelo DISC se basa en el principio de la auto-descripción de ciertas formas o tendencias de comportamiento en un determinado tipo o modalidad de tendencia de comportamiento. De las cuatro dimensiones básicas de comportamiento en consideración surgen diversas combinaciones posibles que generan diferentes híbridos (o marcadas tendencias de comportamiento primario y secundario). |
|
Explique que es el disc de THT. | El THT DISC no es sólo una ayuda conveniente para la selección de personal, para la promoción o la reinserción de personal activo o por alguna razón cesante. Como el THT DISC permite hacer una cartografía empírica de los potenciales de acoplamiento entre el patrón o tipología de una persona y el contexto en el que se desempeña o se puede desempeñar, es una herramienta útil tanto en el nivel personal como en el profesional: permite mejorar la comunicación y optimizar las relaciones interpersonales; es efectivo para la orientación profesional y lo es más cuando un empleado capacitado y altamente motivado que desea progresar en su sitio de trabajo desea contrastar, ajustar o reconciliar su propio potencial individual con las expectativas y el comportamiento del contexto en medio del cual se desempeña. Dado que el resultado describe el estado actual de la conducta del evaluado, la descripción también es útil para ajustar el comportamiento de la corporación, empresa, entidad, oferente, etc., al estilo de comportamiento y perfil específico del evaluado. |
|
Explique cómo es la validez del DISC de THt. | La validez del perfil de personalidad DISC se ha demostrado científicamente al compararlo con reconocidos test o pruebas \'patrón\' como el 16PF y el MMPI. El THT DISC es una herramienta probada que ha tenido un efecto positivo en la productividad en el ámbito laboral en empresas nacionales, internacionales y multinacionales presentes en América Latina. |
|
Explique como son las personas activas. | Son dinámicas, enérgicas y veloces. De alto ritmo o actividad, tienden a hablar mucho y de manera rápida, responden con prontitud a los cuestionamientos, mueven su cuerpo con agilidad e interactúan de forma permanente con los demás.
Las personas activas tienden a tomar decisiones rápidamente, aprovechan las oportunidades, le impregnan movilidad al grupo, son proactivas y dinámicas. En el ámbito laboral, este es un aspecto positivo debido a la dinámica y a los desafíos que hoy plantea el mundo, en donde se requiere agilidad para adaptarse a los cambios del entorno y a reaccionar con prontitud.
Existen cargos en donde es fundamental actuar con velocidad, como en el campo de las ventas, las comunicaciones y la logística.
De otro lado, a esta clase de personas el exceso de actividad les puede resultar contraproducente debido a que aumentan la probabilidad de cometer errores y de tomar decisiones apresuradas o cuando no les es conveniente hacerlo. También pueden generar altos niveles de estrés y ansiedad a los grupos de trabajo a los que pertenecen. |
|
Explique como son las personas pausadas. | Se caracterizan por ser tranquilas, calmadas y prudentes; trabajan a un ritmo moderado, tienden a escuchar más que a hablar, a pensar mejor lo que van a decir y a interactuar con mesura o autocontrol con los demás.
Se toman las cosas con calma, revisan lo que van a hacer, en la mayoría de los casos ven las situaciones desde diferentes puntos de vista, antes de formarse una idea. Son capaces de esperar y verificar que las condiciones sean las apropiadas para tomar una decisión. Estructuran sus ideas frente a lo que van a decir antes de adquirir compromisos e incurrir en plazos que no podrán cumplir. Tienden a ser reservados y en algunos casos, menos visibles en comparación con los demás, lo cuál les permite tomarse el tiempo para analizar mejor las situaciones.
Ser demasiado pausado tiene sus contras. El individuo puede experimentar \'parálisis por análisis\' y perder oportunidades debido al exhaustivo raciocinio que emprende antes de tomar cualquier decisión. Además, manejar ese nivel de reserva puede generar dificultades en algunos grupos, al no hacer manifiestos los problemas que con el tiempo pueden llegar a convertirse en crisis y tornarse inmanejables. |
|
Explique como son las personas racionales. | Son lógicas, tienden a ser realistas y razonables. Poseen bajos niveles de emotividad; por lo general ven el mundo de una forma más fría y ecuánime, se basan en pruebas tangibles, en estadísticas, hechos y datos.
Estas personas suelen ser más objetivas, evitan distraerse en aspectos de tipo emotivo. Son personas críticas y requieren pruebas tangibles para tomar decisiones, son previsivos y se anticipan a contemplar las cosas que podrían salir mal, por eso crean planes de contingencia. Esta clase de perfiles, con regularidad, están asociados a cargos del sector de las finanzas y la contabilidad.
Por estas características, estas personas pueden ser percibidas como frías, impersonales y distantes, lo que les genera dificultades de relacionamiento y les toma más tiempo entablar relaciones de confianza con los demás. La forma de expresarse generalmente ocasiona distanciamiento en las personas del grupo, ya que puede perder la capacidad para motivar, alegrar o inspirar a los demás. |

Explique como son las personas emotivas. | Sensibles, cálidas y humanitas, así son las personas emotivas. Poseen altos niveles de apasionamiento y se inclinan a demostrar interés por el estado anímico de los demás. Aprecian las buenas relaciones y crean lazos de confianza.
Su fuerte se encuentra en la facilidad para generar empatía, socializar e inspirar sentimientos de aprecio, lo que les permite tener mayor conocimiento del estado anímico del grupo al que pertenecen e incidir sobre su desempeño, por medio de la motivación. Tienen la capacidad de comprometer a los demás, son convincentes y formalizan relaciones de amistad duraderas. Es común que esta clase de perfiles sean apreciables en cargos de ventas, relaciones públicas o servicio al cliente.
Entre sus limitantes se destaca que pueden ser volubles, lo que les dificulta la interacción debido a que su estado anímico se torna unas veces accesible y otras no. Normalmente tienen dificultades para separar lo personal de lo laboral, asumiendo las oportunidades de mejora como ataques personales, cuando probablemente no lo son. Los emotivos tienen mayor dificultad para olvidar las confrontaciones con otras personas y dirimir un conflicto les tomará más tiempo. |

Explique cómo se relaciona el DISC y el metodo de los colores. | Con base en la descripción de estos estilos de comportamiento, es que se construye el mundialmente conocido modelo \'DISC\', el cual de ahora en adelante denominaré \'El Lenguaje de los Colores\'. Este método plantea cuatro perfiles y colores para facilitar su aplicación y cuyo origen está inspirado en la teoría de Wassily Kandinsky, como lo veremos después.
Rojo o Determinante (personas activas y racionales): Suelen ser directas, pragmáticas y exigentes.
Amarillo o Influyente (personas activas y emotivas): Son sociables, optimistas y carismáticas.
Verde o Sereno (personas pausadas y emotivas): Se caracterizan por ser cordiales, diplomáticas y conciliadoras.
Azul o Concienzudo (personas pausadas y racionales): Son rigurosas, formales y metódicas.
Según estudios realizados, se ha demostrado que en promedio la mente tiende a retener hasta siete diferentes conceptos de cualquier tema, por esta razón, las metodologías que tienen menos de cinco variables, tienen mayor nivel de recordación. El método de los colores solo maneja cuatro perfiles básicos, para facilitar su aplicación, análisis y manejo.
Este modelo relaciona a los perfiles con los cuatro colores básicos y está inspirado en la Teoría de los Colores de Wassily Kandinsky, artista ruso (1.866-1.944), quien planteaba en sus obras \'el lenguaje de color\'. Kandinsky fijó las pautas sobre las propiedades emocionales de cada tono y se interesó no solo en el espectro, también en la respuesta del alma que estos dan.
El artista aseveraba que \'los colores, en la paleta del pintor, evocaban un doble efecto \'puramente físico en el ojo que está encantado por la belleza de los colores, de forma similar a la impresión alegre cuando comemos un manjar. Este efecto puede ser mucho más profundo, sin embargo, que causa una vibración del alma o una resonancia interior, un efecto espiritual en el que el color toca el alma misma.\'
Respecto a los colores básicos, Wassily Kandinsky atribuyó los siguientes significados:
\'El rojo es un color cálido, alegre y agitado, es contundente, un movimiento en sí mismo\', el cual he vinculado al perfil Determinante.
\'El calor es una tendencia hacia el amarillo, el amarillo tiene un movimiento excéntrico, una superficie amarilla parece moverse más cerca
de nosotros, el amarillo es un color típicamente terrestre, cuya violencia puede ser doloroso y agresivo\'. Lo asocié al perfil Influyente.
\'La combinación de los rendimientos de azul y amarillo total, de inmovidad y calma, que es verde. La mezcla de blanco con negro a gris, que no posee ninguna fuerza activa y cuya tonalidad es cercana a la de verde\'.
Color que he relacionado con el perfil Sereno.
\'La frialdad da una tendencia hacia el azul. El azul tiene un movimiento concéntrico, el azul parece alejarse, el azul es un color celeste, que evoca una profunda calma\', asemejado al perfil Concienzudo.
Concatenar los colores y los perfiles en el método del Lenguaje de los Colores, representa múltiples beneficios. Es otra alternativa para llegar con mayor fuerza a las personas, debido a que su concreta metodología es de fácil recordación y permite que los integrantes de la organización se familiaricen con los conceptos de una manera más cómoda.
Al incorporar el Lenguaje de los Colores, evitará el uso de adjetivos descalificativos al referirse a las personas, de igual manera, \'hablar en
colores\' le resultará de gran utilidad para las requisiciones en las áreas de talento humano y para la realización de entrenamiento a través de actividades lúdicas; incluso, posibilita el uso de piezas de colores en el lugar de trabajo para enunciar el tipo de interlocutor con el cual hablará y facilitar una eficaz interacción. |

Explique que recomendaciones hay para emplear correctamente este modelo de análisis
en las personas. | A pesar de que el método de los colores posee facilidades en su manejo e interpretación, vale la pena destacar algunos aspectos que se deberán tener en cuenta durante su aplicación en la selección, el desarrollo y la alineación de las personas en la organización.
Califique: Recuerde que no hay perfiles buenos ni malos. Cada persona de su equipo de trabajo es apta para realizar ciertas tareas y otras, con mayor grado de dificultad, lo importante es tener motivados a sus integrantes en el cargo que más se alinee a su perfil.
Incluya: Cada uno de los perfiles es importante, ninguno prevalece sobre el otro. Es ideal que su equipo de trabajo esté conformado por este abanico de características que le otorgan los diferentes perfiles. Todos cumplen un rol fundamental.
Especifique: Tenga presente que todos los perfiles tienen fortalezas y limitaciones, unos son rápidos, pero con mayores posibilidades de errar; otros serán más pausados y detenidos en su actuar; los racionales tenderán a calcular y se percibirán como distantes, mientras que los emotivos se destacarán por su trato cálido, pero tenderán ser volubles.
Motive: Todos los perfiles pueden ser más o menos eficaces siempre y cuando la labor que la persona realiza concuerde con su estilo de
comportamiento natural, se le haya dado un entrenamiento adecuado y conozca lo que debe hacer.
Priorice: No existen perfiles con el color puro, pleno. Todos posemos una mezcla en diferentes niveles de Determinación, Influencia, Serenidad y Conciencia, no obstante, siempre habrá dos características predominantes que definirán nuestro comportamiento básico.
Sea un ejemplo: Exhiba su conocimiento acerca de este tema, aplíquelo y hable de él para familiarizar a los demás con el Lenguaje de los Colores.
Reflexione: Evite rotular a la gente, no permita que esta metodología reduzca a un color el entendimiento del ser humano. Recuerde que somos complejos, cada uno es un mundo diferente de motivaciones, conocimientos, habilidades, conceptos y valores.
Analice: Por último, recuerde que sobre el método de los colores se han construido una serie de herramientas y como tal, nunca podrá sustituir la intuición, la experiencia, el buen juicio y la capacidad de análisis de un profesional en el proceso de selección y el desarrollo del personal. Usted puede apoyarse en las herramientas y lo que ellas plantean, pero siempre será necesario emplear el buen juicio y el análisis de un profesional. |

Explique cuales son las ventajas del método de los colores. | Es fácil de entender. El interpretador necesariamente no requiere estudios en psicología para entender un informe, sin embargo, es necesario que realice entrenamiento de certificación antes de utilizar las herramientas para saberlas optimizar.
Los comportamientos de las personas racionales, las emotivas, las activas o el de las pausadas, tienden a ser evidentes en la forma de trabajar en equipo, comunicarse, liderar y tomar decisiones, esto hace que el estilo de cada persona sea predecible al momento de analizarlo.
El \'Método de los Colores\' no solo se emplea para los procesos de selección, también es útil para el desarrollo y la alineación de las personas. Se constituye en una s |
