Are you a 'process or outcome' oriented person?

Perhaps a better way of looking at a process-oriented person is as that of a group player, one who fits well into a team, whereas a goal-orientated person is more of a loner, a leader type, someone driven to set their own star then set out to conquer it, not content to follow but to lead. Extended out toward the Keirsey Temperaments, a process person might best be thought of as an Analytical or Amiable type category while the goal-orientated person is probably a better fit to the Keirsey Driver type person or the Expressive type.

I'm not sure I agree that it is about process vs goal. It's more about how a person goes about achieving a goal in my mind. Going back to my golf analogy, a process person wanting to hit more fairways would take lessons to improve his swing, analyze videos, do physical conditioning etc. to achieve his goal. The outcome person buys a $1000 dollar driver with a specially contoured face that autocorrects for hooks and slices. Both achieve their goal but in different ways.

Sure, I suppose it might work that way too. Just that I see the process person as seeing the process AS the goal, the primary focus, whereas you seem to see the two as just taking two different paths to the same goal--- in effect, two different processes.

Outcome gets there. Cubicle bunnies can fill in the processes and procedures after the fact.
