EXO much?

Recognizing EXO behavior is part show, part tell. Watch the videos and then read the rest below. In a few days you'll have that 'aha moment' when you say 'Ugh...EXO's!'

Domain Overview

This is the life story that is held by the overlooked and most embedded part of the population (9%). It features the elements of an autonomous somatic orientation, which goes back to that relatively self-sufficient 4th year of life. People with this PRIMARY DOMAIN are the more perceptive somas that seek that formal, more functional vibe from other people. Their attention focuses on deepening that systemic connection, which makes them very sensitive to changes in their highly structured world. They draw their coherence from impersonal sources and use an analytical awareness to access it. Their reference point for wholeness is usually their tools, technologies and methods. They strive for the most universal and objective level to relate or communicate. They learn best in observational, predicable settings so a more regimented approach is favored. They can also easily gravitate to multimedia formats. Their optimal interpersonal distance is what's known as 'public space', which is from 12-25 feet from other people.

Read the following narrative three different ways...first to yourself as you see it here on the screen. Then print it out and read them in a mirror, as if you're trying to converse with your reflection. Then, if you're up to it, read it to someone else. All of these experiences are universal; self-talk, self-recognition, and self-disclosure. What you'll discover is if this narrative captures your life story or not. The words will flow easily if the biological level of your belief system buys what you're saying. You will have identified your PRIMARY DOMAIN. From there, the closed world you had can open.

The EXO Narrative…

I consider myself a very intricate and precise person and need structure to be at my best. I value and nurture information and enjoy customizing new technologies to suit myself. I can easily ignore others and feel a profound sense of irritation when that's not possible. I'm a team organizer and thrive in group settings where I can analyze their productivity. Some would say that I'm overly serious, but in fact I need to make some kind of classification in order to know I'm fully interacting . Data is my guiding force, and I'm very good at methodically tracking multiple layers of detailed information. I like being considered an expert translator, synthesizer and skilled worker. More than anything, I want the world to become more open to the facts that run our lives.
