The complete field guide · 31 profiles
Compare every animal across the six continuous dimensions used by the quiz. The chart shows preferences between two useful poles—not strengths, grades, or limits.
Six dimensions, twelve poles
A profile near the middle can use both approaches depending on context. A strong lean means the archetype tends to prefer one approach; it does not make the opposite approach a flaw.
A scale between solo depth and group recharge. Toward solo depth you recover and think best away from the crowd. Toward group recharge you come alive with people and think in conversation. Neither end is better.
Toward Solo depth: recovers and does their best thinking away from the crowd; prefers a few meaningful conversations over a roomful of them.
Toward Group recharge: comes alive with people, thinks in conversation, and builds rapport as they work.
A scale between a deliberate pace and high momentum. Toward deliberate you want the picture clear before you commit. Toward high momentum you start while others are still lining up the pieces. Neither end is better.
Toward Deliberate pace: moves with intention, wants the picture clear before they commit, and protects a sustainable pace.
Toward High momentum: creates momentum, starts while others are still lining up the pieces, and likes variety.
A scale between analytical and intuitive. Toward analytical you build from evidence and want the logic to hold. Toward intuitive you read pattern, context, and gut feel. Neither end is better.
Toward Analytical: builds from evidence, systems, and analysis; wants the logic to hold before they move.
Toward Intuitive: reads pattern and gut feel; lets context and emotional texture inform the call.
A scale between contributor and owner. Toward contributor you do your best work inside a frame someone else holds. Toward owner you set direction and hold the frame for others. Neither end is better.
Toward Contributor: does their best work inside a frame someone else holds; contributes depth without needing the title.
Toward Owner / leader: takes ownership, sets direction, and holds the frame for others.
A scale between stability and pivot-ready. Toward stability you prefer a plan you can refine. Toward pivot-ready you treat a change as material. Neither end is better.
Toward Stability & process: prefers a stable process, a predictable environment, and a plan they can refine.
Toward Pivot-ready: pivots when the picture changes and treats uncertainty as material.
A scale between reserved and expressive. Toward reserved you listen first and speak when it counts. Toward expressive you share early and figure it out in the telling. Neither end is better.
Toward Reserved: listens first, processes privately, and speaks when it counts.
Toward Expressive: shares early and often; figures it out in the telling.

These dots represent the fixed reference profiles used for matching, not population rankings. Your result is the nearest overall pattern across all six dimensions—not the animal that shares one isolated trait.
