Some people tend to keep feelings to themselves. CDGers usually strike a balance. Handling stress and pressure can be manifest in many ways but the most typical stressors of business are the accumulation of minor setbacks and criticism from other people. CDGers, like most managers, tend to see the positive more than the negative, or at least try to express that attitude. CDGers present their positive mood differently than the average manager even though the underlying feelings are the same.
Most managers come across as chipper and upbeat.
With CDGers, their reserve masks the positive attitude and they come across as quietly confident rather than bubbling over with joy. CDGers tend to be fact-oriented. Like most managers they try to view criticism as information to be evaluated for fact content rather than expressions of personal dislike. They are a bit more fact-oriented than the typical manager. When you combine reserve, analytical ability, and fact-orientation, a CDGer will often respond with why to information that most people would simply nod at.
