Exhibit A004
As anticipated, here is the second half of the post.
The Leader
A leader is usually that outgoing person that everyone either really likes or really hates. Society has this stigma against being called a Follower, but in truth many Followers are more fun to be around or more personal than Leaders. Leaders are, as the name suggests, the people who take charge of a situation. They make sure things get done somehow, and generally lead a high stress, low release lifestyle. A Leader has a haphazard notetaking style, either just writing down the main highlights or not taking notes at all. There is a large variety of Leader and, surprisingly for some, most people fall into this catagory, at least generically. Not all Leaders are Leaders at all times, though.
Sub-catagories:
Control Freak
This person is someone we all know and tend to hate. They take on every task, and refuse to delegate responsibility. Is it because they don't trust anyone else to do it right? Maybe, but usually it has to do with wanting to take as much credit as possible. This person is an attention whore, who takes on large projects in order to be recognized. They are often either good-looking, insecure, and shallow, but smart, or an eager overachiever who never had too many friends and instead relies on recognition for affirmation of purpose. Harsh, I know, but true. Control Freaks tend to go through friends very quickly, never really forming a link because there is often a lack of trust. They bounce from project to project, take on more than they can handle, but manage to get everything done because this is pretty much what they live for. These people do take notes in class, but not every word. Still, they tend to only write stuff from the board.
Sniper
What the Control Freak is to the Westy, the Sniper is to the Relaxer. The Sniper has many of the same ideals as the CF, but they are quieter, slower, and more likeable. They get their recognition from the people they work with, instead of people outside of a project or workgroup. Therefore, they tend to build a lot of power from within, seeming to come out of nowhere and snipe away control. This is how they get their name. The CF is in charge, but the Sniper holds the group's opinion in his hands. The Sniper can be cold and calculating, or just quiet and charismatic, but they are just as eager to please as the CF. The Sniper is a person who will lead a think-tank or class discussion because he often knows more about the subject than the CF, who is usually stretched pretty thin. The CF, of course, will interject as much as possible, but the Sniper knows how to work around him. These types of Leaders tend to take the introspective notes, only writing down new concepts or interesting questions posed by the prof.
Snoozer
This is a pretty easy to describe person. They are the people in class who come in late all the time, sit in the back, and then go to sleep, but still manage to know what's going on and can ace the class. They can be arrogant and annoying, but often are just perceived that way because everyone else has to work and pay attention. What you don't see is the large amount of time the Snoozer puts into learning all of the stuff beforehand in order to pretend he's known it forever and can sleep through class. Yes, that's right, an eager-pleaser (see a pattern?), but a much less in your face one. The Snoozer tends to be unreliable but has a wide range of experience. They aren't afraid to try new things since they are pretty confident in themselves. They also make friends pretty easily and keep certain ones for a long time. Sometimes reluctant to take charge, they certainly aren't afraid to, and do a pretty good job at managing things until a Sniper comes out. This person, of course, takes no notes that you can see, and often shows up to class with no books, paper, or even a pen.
Come-What-May
This person is also reluctant to take charge most of the time. They are agreeable, nice, and often just want to be let alone, but an overpowering sense of conscience doesn't allow them any rest. Realizing the doom many projects are headed towards, the Come-What-May will take charge to set things right, but then do their best to back off. They don't want control, much different than the rest of the Leaders, but tend to end up with it because they are competent and others know it. Often looked up to, even more so than a Sniper, because of their ability to handle any situation. A Come-What-May is a Leader that can keep cool and adapt in any situation, effectively delegating tasks and micromanaging. Often people come to the Come-What-May with problems because they always seem to know the answer. The only thing that ruffles a CWM is an unfocused, poorly led group, which he feels obligated to lead. They are often very laid back, seemingly unstressed, and put out a Relaxer vibe that often causes them to be overlooked. Notes? Sure, sometimes. Depends on just how relaxed they are that day.
