How you explore Information

Rather than conventional thinking, you’re drawn to new and complex ideas that ignite your imagination.

Your reflective nature brings an awareness of inner thoughts and feelings.

Life is a journey of discovery. You're drawn to art and music, resonating with the echoes of creative expression. Trying new activities, breaking free from routine, fuels your sense of exploration.

Yet things are never that simple.

Embracing new possibilities often leads to setbacks and unwanted results. But new experiences are a pathway to growth in a world of change.

Realize when you're being too theoretical, and apply your ideas right now
Seek sensible solutions that are proven, rather than reinventing the wheel

You'll actually achieve more by adapting your Open approach with some Practical solutions here and there. Let yourself be surprised by a more grounded vision!

CONSCIENTIOUS

Organized, Disciplined

How you apply Control

Conscientious

Conscientious

You work to bring order to life. Rather than keeping options open, you're organized and prefer structure and schedules.

You respect authority, and consistently fulfill your obligations to systems and people. Your deliberate nature means you carefully ponder decisions in advance, seeking to avoid mistakes.

You are disciplined and motivated by what you want to achieve. So you avoid distractions and see things through to completion, even when they're difficult or boring.

Your dedication leads to accomplishment, and a sense of purpose.

Of course, a strong desire for control has drawbacks. Sometimes you’re preoccupied with details at the expense of the big picture, or doggedly pursue unnecessary goals.

But your conscientiousness serves you well, driving you onward to a life of security and success.

Conscientious Strengths

👍 You are driven by the belief that goals should be set and achieved. This motivates you to control situations in order to accomplish your desired outcomes. Others might see you as the orderly achiever, diligently progressing towards what needs to get done. Apply your strengths by being Conscientious:

1. Pay close attention to details

Notice the nuance and intricacy of things so you can keep an eye on the important details.

2. Make and stick to a plan

Ensure you get everything done by deliberately defining your tasks, objectives, and deadlines.

3. Maintain focus and work steadily

Dutifully move through your workload without distraction — checking one box after the next.

4. Help others stay on track

In groups, remind every one the important parts of your project plan, keeping people from getting sidetracked.

5. Persevere through challenges and obstacles

When inevitable road blocks appear, lead onward with grit and determination, persisting until the job is done.

🤙 Adapt by being Responsive

Being Conscientious has its challenges. You risk becoming perfectionistic at times. This is a weakness if you stick with unworkable goals instead of changing course at pivotal moments. What can you learn from Responsive people?

Soften your focus by allowing next steps to form freely and unfold according to the moment
Act spontaneously and switch up your routine based on some inner urge or calling.

Applying control is what's gotten you where you are today. Setting and accomplishing your goals has served you well. Adapt to being Responsive from time to time. You'll likely end up enjoying (and even achieving) more in the long-run!

INTROVERTED

Low Key, Reserved

How you seek Interaction

Introverted-5

Introverted

Your world centers around quiet places and activities. You take life at your own pace, giving things all the time they need.

After venturing into stimulating environments, you take time to recharge.

You prefer to socialize with just a few people.

Privacy is important to you, and you keep thoughts and feelings to yourself. You leave space in conversations for others to talk.

Yet this reserved approach can lead to missed opportunities.

You can hold back, even when you have something to say or would benefit from acting. But your low-key way of life is just your nature, and what gives you satisfaction.

Introverted Strengths

⏳ The belief that it's better to hold back (than to jump in) provides you with a deep source of energy. Your motivation to seek lower stimulation lets you recharge your battery. You might be seen as the quiet contributor, your reserved style making space for people and places to unfold and play out as they naturally wish. Apply your strengths by being Introverted:

1. Think before acting

Giving thoughts and feelings space to mature allows you to be intentional with your time and effort.

2. Listen closely to what people say

Letting others speak more lets you interpret and decode what they truly mean.

3. Work alone and let others do the same

High energy is not required to be productive, and your unhurried work style lets you give projects all the time they need to be successful. Not rushing or disrupting their flow.

4. Form fewer, deeper relationships

Take your time to fully know someone, patiently peeling back the layers of their true self.

5. Provide space for everyone by staying in the background

The most powerful force is just your presence, which leads others to fully express and situations to fully evolve.

⚡️ Adapt by being Extraverted

Being Introverted has its constraints. You risk becoming isolated if you don't actively reach out. Not sharing your thoughts with others is a weakness when you have something valuable to contribute. What can you learn from Extraverted people?

Be energetic by seeking exciting activities that get you moving and interacting more
Be sociable by finding time for settings that let you listen and share freely amongst others.

Take your time to regroup, but observe when to adapt. You'll discover that a well-timed comment or quick action will enhance your interactions.

STRONG-MINDED

Competitive, Skeptical

How you find Collaboration

Strongminded

Strongminded

Your competitive nature means you approach life with a desire to win. That means you pursue your own interests with stubborn determination.

You're always ready to fight for what you want, fueled by a firm confidence in yourself.

You believe in personal responsibility, and that everyone needs to look out for themselves.

You're savvy, and it’s difficult to take advantage of you. This allows you to make tough decisions that might affect other people.

Because of your forceful approach to life, it's not always easy to build or keep lasting relationships.

But your unwavering belief in yourself shines through your life and your actions.

Strong-Minded Strengths

♟️ The fundamental belief that people need to be responsible for themselves defines your relationships. You are motivated to compete and get ahead. People may see you as the savvy challenger, always willing to be skeptical when you think you are right. Apply your strengths by being Strong-minded:

1. Test ideas through debate

Engage in discussions with others to hash out what's fair and who deserves what.

2. Advocate for your interests

Critique when people or practices aren't working to your benefits, and work to change them.

3. Avoid being manipulated

Recognize when others are forcing their own agenda for their own gain, and don't let them off the hook.

4. Be willing to make unpopular decisions

Tough choices need to be made, and you have the confidence to decide what's best for individuals and groups.

5. Push everyone to reach goals

Lead others by reminding them of what they deserve to align your interests and drive forward.

🌻 Adapt by being Agreeable

Being Strong-minded has its difficulties. You risk becoming self-centered when advocating too much for your own benefit. This can be a weakness if it means missing out on meaningful contributions with others. What can you learn from Agreeable people?

Cooperate more freely by trusting you have each other's best interests in mind.
Sympathize with people's feelings by understanding they are doing the best they can with what they have.

By lightening up your need to be critical of others, you'll notice you keep your thick skin, but cultivate a soft heart for people and causes dear to you.
