Practical • Open

How you explore Information

You combine a practical grounding in the real world with an openness to the world of ideas.

You recognize the value of facts and common sense, also appreciating the insights that come from imagination.

Reality provides the foundation for your creative thinking. So you value both tradition and innovation.

The tried-and-true offers stable ground, while venturing beyond the familiar brings fresh opportunities.

This combination allows you to find both predictability and possibility in your life.

Balanced Strengths

⚖️ You are motivated to take the middle path through ideas and experiences. Guided by a belief the best visions blend innovation with tradition, you notice new ideas but don't adopt them right away. Instead, your peers see you as the sensible seeker, gradually connecting proven methods with recent trends over time. Apply your strengths of moderation:

1. Respect the past, consider the future

Move through life by blending time-tested principles with realistic possibilities that lie ahead.

2. Modernize outdated methods

Work to keep valuable things going by updating them with obvious improvements here and there.

Find paths forward that offer the sweet spot between dependable solutions and innovative alternatives.

↔ Adapt by being more versatile

Be more Practical by doubling down on things that are working well
Be more Open when things need to change, and go discover new perspectives

By learning to be more versatile you will be appropriately Practical or Open across the right situations.

BALANCED

Responsive • Conscientious

How you apply Control

You balance spontaneity with structure. You know when to be casual, and when to be organized.

You like to schedule things, but are comfortable deviating when necessary.

You make decisions thoughtfully, considering potential consequences. But you also recognize that life can be unpredictable, and know how to change direction when needed.

You’re motivated both by internal passions and external responsibilities. While you have the dedication to follow through on goals, you're not rigid about them.

Instead, you can change course if a better opportunity arises. This means your path through life is both purposeful and responsive.

You work steadily toward your goals, yet leave room for detours along the way.

Balanced Strengths

⚖️ You are driven by a belief that modest goals and ambitions is the optimal work style. This motivates you to control some details, but let other ones go. People may see you as a casual controller, staying on top of your responsibilities but not striving intensely. Apply Responsive and Conscientious strengths in moderation:

1. See the forest with the trees

Recognize the important details, while zooming out to the big picture to gain clarity.

2. Adjust your plans accordingly

Make plans to meet deadlines, with the option to switch directions when interesting opportunities arise.

3. Bring spontaneity to your structure

Stay focused on your workload by switching up your style, workspace, or techniques.

4. Help others balance priorities

In groups contribute obvious shortcuts that can be easily integrated into the master plan.

5. Lead by pivoting with purpose

Steer others towards shared goals by recognizing the progressive next steps at each stage.

↔ Adapt by being more versatile

Taking the middle path has its challenges. You risk missing out on unplanned ventures, or not dedicating yourself fully to something. Try embracing a purely Conscientious or Responsive approach at times:

To be Conscientious, commit to one goal and ignore other options that distract your focus
To be Responsive, pivot quickly by acting on a new opportunity you just can't pass up

By spotting when to be more Responsive or more Conscientious, you'll achieve better outcomes in life and work.
