Walking Styles and their Personality Types







When I was working as a professor in a private educational institution in India, a few of my students asked me why I always walked alone. They added that most faculty members walked in a group or with their colleagues. They found me unique and different from others. They informed me that they liked the way I walked alone with grace. I liked their compliment. Now I started to analyze the reasons behind walking alone instead of walking with others.  

I served in the Indian Air Force where I used to do a parade in groups. I worked in teams. After the office hours, I used to walk with my friends in civil clothes. After I left the Indian Air Force, I preferred walking alone as civilians could not keep pace with my walking style. 

People are different with different walking styles. In spite of leaving the Indian Air Force, I still walk like a soldier with chest up. Most people appreciate that I walk graciously while a few criticize that I walk aggressively. Of course, it depends on their perceptions. Here are some observations about the personalities who walk alone. They are confident. They believe in themselves. They have strong wings. They have a strong direction. They have a clear focus on their goals and objectives. They cannot be distracted easily. They hit the bull’s eye.

I walk alone because I am a fitness freak. When I walk alone lots of ideas flash on my mind and I capture them in a pocket diary that I always carried with me. I started jotting my ideas on my smartphone recently.

According to the various personality types, I belong to the category of The Driver and The Influencer. I discovered that because of my military, teaching, and training background, I am logical and productive and I know how to get the things done effectively.


Conclusion

"I love walking because it clears your mind, enriches the soul, takes away stress, and opens up your eyes to a whole new world.” ―Claudette Dudley

People have different personalities because of their heredity, environment, and upbringing. To conclude, there is nothing like a good or bad walking style. Everyone has their own style of walking based on their personalities. Let us respect them irrespective of their walking style.   


“I love walking in the woods, on the trails, along the beaches. I love being part of nature. I love walking alone. It is therapy. One needs to be alone, to recharge one's batteries.” ―Grace Kelly
