In this blog newsletter, I now write about the “Interrogator” and his transformation. Here too, it becomes clear that everything oscillates between the two poles of fear and love.

THE INTERROGATOR

A transformed “Interrogator” often channels his curiosity and interest into research.

Supported by his further developed talents in interpersonal communication, it then becomes natural for him to become a teacher, life consultant, or lawyer.

The best business consultants were once, before their careers, almost unbearable “Interrogators” — constantly probing and questioning their counterpart until there was no juice left in the lemon.

Today, they use this very ability to deliver precisely what their clients truly need, because they are able to understand them quickly and grasp the bigger picture in a holistic way.

UNCOVERING DETAILS

Uncovering hidden details comes naturally to a former “Interrogator.” Because he is accustomed to not being satisfied with what merely appears on the surface, he achieves true mastery when researching unsolved mysteries.

From detective work to the art of photography, the “True Consultant” experiences a sense of exhilaration when he is able to pinpoint the essential core in the analysis of situations.

FEAR OF EXPOSURE

The “True Consultant” often finds himself in the role of a lawyer. In this position, he can work out the best possible solutions for the benefit of his client.

However, people who fear being exposed in matters burdened with shame may feel uneasy in his presence. For the consultant, this should not be taken personally, as it reveals more about the other person than about himself.

The challenge for the consultant, therefore, is not to be intimidated by his own powerful talent, but always to remember to use it wisely for the good of the wider community.

CHANGE MAKES SENSE

A client worked in a large company and was always known — and praised — for having an infallible analytical mind. She had a natural instinct for identifying sources of error in the area of research.

However, the fact that she was respected by everyone there was not enough to fill the emotional emptiness within her. This emptiness intensified to such a degree that she became overwhelmed by the sense of meaninglessness in her life.

As a result, she began to rethink her previous path — and decided to study psychology.
