You scored high for both Compromising and Harmonizing in Storm. This combination has a particular character you should be aware of so you can maximize its strengths and minimize its limitations.
Strengths of this combination: These combo brings together the inclination of the Compromising style to seek practical, each-side-gives-a-little solutions with Harmonizing's commitment to relationships and keeping things pleasant. People who score high in this combination typically bring a pleasant, let's-make-a-deal approach to resolution of conflict.
Limitations of this combination: This combination also has particular limitations that you should be aware of. One could be a tendency towards superficial pragmatism. Compromising as a style by itself is solution oriented, eager to find a solution somewhere in the middle between two parties. Harmonizing is relationship oriented, eager to keep things light and pleasant, and willing to sacrifice other agendas to achieve this. Together, these two styles may cause you to skate too quickly through negotiations, to reach too eagerly for any deal to keep people happy, without looking carefully at principles or implications. When this happens, things may look fine in the beginning but fall apart later. The result will be a blow to trust and confidence for all involved.
Another danger might be to give up too quickly. Neither style is noted for valuing in-depth discussion. Together they may tempt to you step back and let things drift without resolution.
How to benefit from the strengths and reduce your exposure to limitations: If the above has a ring of truth for you, consider these ideas:
1) Study the Support Tips for both styles, under the tab for each on the Support page. Those are things others can do to support you and if you understand them you can more easily ask for or create support you need.
2) Use a Two Step Approach, especially valuable to your Harmonizer side. The first step in work for any Harmonizer (in this case, you) should always be relational, indulging in the small hello's, how-are-you's and howzit's that help people connect. Since you favor Harmonizing, honor this in yourself and approach discussion in ways that encourage this. 3) Good preparation is particularly important - this will help you stay engaged longer.
4) Journalling is helpful as a preparatory step.
5) Think through your values, principles and precedents. This will balance the instinct of Compromising to make a deal, any deal that resolves things. If the issue under discussion has big implications, give yourself some time to step away from talks and think things through carefully, perhaps with a trusted friend.6) Discuss process often with others and seek to maintain clarity at all times about the process. This will strengthen relationships and also bring depth and courage to your side of the table.
