These extremely productive people like to be occupied in their leisure time with pursuits such as craftwork, hiking or reading.
In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Realists may become obsessed with schedules, be critical of others or have trouble trusting other people to get the job done properly. Under extreme stress, Realists may complain loudly that events have taken a turn for the worse and predict negative outcomes.
Realists typically only share their opinions or personal experiences with trusted friends.

Realists are attracted to jobs where decision making based on factual knowledge and experience is required.

Mentors love to bring people together in harmony and enjoy busy, active lives. However, their warm nature may mean they have trouble making tough decisions that affect others negatively.
In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Mentors may focus too much on the needs of others. Under extreme stress, Mentors may be troubled by unusually critical thoughts about themselves and others.
Mentors readily see the best traits in others, but may have trouble recognising personality faults.
Mentor Careers
Mentors are often drawn to jobs where they can help people develop their potential.
See this just confirms my suspecions that Annie and I are nothing alike. See what personality you are.
