DEFENDER/REALIST (DR)

Points (H) 0.00-1.99, (L) 0.00-1.99 – Protector, reactor, shrewd, strong-willed

__________________

Overview – This is the most guarded mindset type on the grid because it lives one of the most reactive, survival-based experiences. It has trust issues with people (probably for good reason) and lives in fear, largely unaware of, or resistant to the universal laws that govern us all. A Defender is always ready with a response, because after all, anything could go wrong at any given moment, and it often does. Each decision, each response, is based on the belief that you are on your own, and that success depends solely on your own strength or smarts.

Strengths – Loyal, patient, intuitive, pragmatic, street smart, scrappy, responsible, grounded, considerate.

Driven by – Survival, ease, stability, security, self-reliance, personal needs, responsibility, reputation, protecting what’s yours, focused on self-reliance.

Combination Analysis – Loyal and Intuitive in relationships, you have a sixth-sense about others’ intentions, and you may be sensitive, sometimes to a fault. Your keen observation skills sometimes get in the way of seeing what’s possible, and you may resist change, especially when it is imposed by someone else. The struggle with fear may be running in the background – a fear of loss, fear of falling short, or fear of change. You value stability and predictability in relationships.

When threatened, you are quick to react, either by going quiet to de-escalate a conflict, or by fighting to end the conflict as soon as possible. In either case, you need things to be resolved quickly. There is no in-between for the Defender. It’s your deep need for things to be the way they should be that keeps you from responding only half-way.

The retreater version of the Defender may be accused of being too sensitive, or for playing the role of a martyr. The fighter version of the Defender may be criticized for being brash, blunt, or too demanding. In either case, it is the potential threat to your identity and safety in your relationships that may cause you to retreat, deflect, deny, or blame an accuser. Both responses show a deep need to protect who you are and what’s yours, because you’ve worked too hard to survive this far.

Because you often find yourself living in survival mode, your default objective may be to preserve the status quo, even if it’s undesirable.

You pride yourself in being intelligent and grounded in the way you operate and in the execution of your goals. You feel deeply and wish for a better life, but often circumstances beyond your control keep you from enjoying the results you want. You’ve tried to make changes, but nothing seems to work, at least permanently. It’s hard to believe things will ever change. You often feel unlucky, and struggle to get ahead. You’re weary from repeated disappointments and skeptical of anyone who tells you things can improve. Basically, you’ll believe it when you see it.

Sometimes you feel that people who offer solutions have ulterior motives. While some people may call you a cynic, you call it wisdom. You can relate with the saying, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” You’re determined never to be fooled again.

You’re always open to learning more, if there’s truly something new to learn, and if it makes logical sense. Still, it’s easy to feel upset when things go wrong, and you may fundamentally disagree with anyone who claims that your thoughts play any role in causing your misfortune. You are more likely to trust science and academia than social media, empirical proof more than a (probably fabricated) testimonial, and you trust yourself to get things done more than almost anyone else.

Other Common Attributes of the Defender/Realist:

Observant and aware of other’s reactions and feelings.
Excellent/detailed memory for what is important to others.
Quick to adjust to any surrounding with a sense of the environment’s functions and how to best use them.
Reliable for follow through and completion of tasks.
Grounded, practical, and dependable.
Does not like working with abstract thought or theory.
Finds it difficult to do things that don’t make sense to you.
Appreciates tradition, security, and living a peaceful life.
Naturally focuses on what people need and want.
Considerate, kind, and thoughtful.
Inclined to put the needs of others above your own.
Learns best in environments where people are supportive of one another.
Takes responsibilities seriously.
When others are attacked, you feel the need to protect.
Feels that values and principles are more important than ideals and standards.
Willing to do almost anything necessary to deliver on a promise.
Tries to be as generous as possible with loved ones but is sometimes left feeling taken for granted.
Friendly, affirming atmospheres fill the soul with meaning and happiness.
You try to always be prepared for the worst.
You feel that if other people would just do their part, you’d be able to avoid more of life’s hardships.

Possible Blind Spots – This mindset type combination is the most likely to play martyr, and may be brash, blunt, demanding, codependent, and unwilling to bend. You may respond to perceived emotional attacks or threats with rudeness, brute retaliation, or stone-coldness. You may be perceived by others as self-centered or pretentious, a bully, doubter, struggling, having a bad attitude. You may attempt to hide these flaws, but they are more easily detected by others than you think. If nobody is saying anything, they’re likely just tolerating it to keep the peace. An unchecked defender/realist is a cynic, and may show unchecked anger when things go wrong. The more you persist in these thought- and response-habits, the more life will seem to bully you.

One who grows beyond the Defender/Realist stage of development will attest to the following:

“Let a man cease from his [harsh or demeaning] thoughts, and all the world will soften toward him, and be ready to help him; let him put away his weakly and sickly thoughts, and lo! opportunities will spring up on every hand to aid his strong resolves; let him encourage good thoughts, and no hard fate shall bind him down…” – James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

___________________

Overview – This mindset type is more forward-thinking than the Defender/Realist, and much less change-averse. However, the change it embraces is not a change for progress, it is a change for more proactive risk mitigation. More security, more safeguards, even the potential for more self-imprisonment. This tendency comes from seeing potential threats farther out on the horizon than the Defender/Realist, whose focus is more on the here and now. The defensive position of a Defender/Sentry often leads to frustration and disappointment, because while this type will at least consider happier possibilities, it will also be more likely to explore a new idea and then promptly retreat back to what’s familiar, only deepening the rut that can prevent true progress.

Strengths – Loyal, patient, pragmatic, street smart, scrappy, responsible, watchful, prudent, cautious, skeptical, analytical, detail oriented.

Driven by – Need, survival, fairness, avoiding risk, focused on avoiding danger.

Combination Analysis – Loyal and Intuitive in relationships, you have a sixth-sense about others’ intentions, and you may be sensitive, sometimes to a fault. Your keen observation skills sometimes get in the way of seeing what’s possible, and you may resist change, especially when it is imposed by someone else. The struggle with fear may be running in the background – a fear of loss, fear of falling short, or fear of change. You value stability and predictability in relationships.

When threatened, you are quick to react, either by going quiet to de-escalate a conflict, or by fighting to end the conflict as soon as possible. In either case, you need things to be resolved quickly. There is no in-between for the Defender. It’s your deep need for things to be the way they should be that keeps you from responding only half-way.

The retreater version of the Defender may be accused of being too sensitive, or for playing the role of a martyr. The fighter version of the Defender may be criticized for being brash, blunt, or too demanding. In either case, it is the potential threat to your identity and safety in your relationships that may cause you to retreat, deflect, deny, or blame an accuser. Both responses show a deep need to protect who you are and what’s yours, because you’ve worked too hard to survive this far.

Because you often find yourself living in survival mode, your default objective may be to preserve the status quo, even if it’s undesirable.

You are a careful, hard worker who knows you’ll achieve your goals if you give it everything you’ve got, as long as nothing gets in the way. The problem is, things often get in the way. Life sometimes seems unfair, unpredictable, or unfortunate.

You’re resourceful and manage to get through each challenge eventually, but sometimes you do long for a lucky break. Although you live life guarded, your healthy skepticism often keeps you safe. Like a sentinel, you’re always on the lookout for pitfalls and do a good job avoiding them. But sometimes you’re concerned about being stuck where you are.

You’d like things to improve in several areas of your life, but so far, your efforts haven’t caused any real giant leaps forward, and you may be unsure whether your thinking has any real effect on your results. Because things don’t always work out the way you intended, it can be easy to feel as though you don’t have a lot of control over your results, no matter how hard you try.

Sometimes life seems to be in the hands of fate, because no matter what you do, the same kinds of results keep happening. You believe positive thinking may help you live a better life, but haven’t seen a whole lot of evidence that doing so has a real effect on your results. Sometimes your reason for thinking positive is to simply avoid regrets, more than it is to cause a change.

As an intellectual, you strive to look ahead and mitigate risk, and you value fairness. Your talent for recognizing potential problems can be a blessing and a curse. Even when you intentionally choose an outcome different from the default future, it can sometimes be hard to focus more on the happy potential than on the possible failure. After all, you’ve been burned before.

You’re more likely to be motivated by avoiding problems and hardships than by seeking experiences you’ll enjoy. When facing a crisis, you always feel better when you can talk about the problem from every angle, to uncover the reason it happened and to help you avoid similar issues in the future. You’re open to other people’s opinions as long as they’re cautious or prudent like you, but wouldn’t it be nice if there weren’t always so many problems to talk about?

Other Common Attributes of the Defender/Sentry:

Observant and aware of other’s reactions and feelings.
Excellent/detailed memory for what is important to others.
Quick to adjust to any surrounding with a sense of the environment’s functions and how to best use them.
Reliable for follow through and completion of tasks.
Grounded, practical, and dependable.
Does not like working with abstract thought or theory.
Finds it difficult to do things that don’t make sense to you.
Appreciates tradition, security, and living a peaceful life.

Learns best in environments where people are supportive of one another.

When others are attacked, you feel the need to protect.
Feels that values and principles are more important than ideals and standards.
Willing to do almost anything necessary to deliver on a promise.
Tries to be as generous as possible with loved ones but is sometimes left feeling taken for granted.
Friendly, affirming atmospheres fill the soul with meaning and happiness.
When it comes to your goals or desires, you see yourself as someone who will accomplish them as long as you can find a safe path.
Accomplishing your vision and goals would be easier if there weren’t so many risks.
You quickly identify the dangers of new ideas, and readily warn others who can’t see them as easily.
You are steadfast in holding your position when the potential for negative outcomes arise, and you wish others around you weren’t so eager and careless to proceed despite them.
You may be easily triggered by stressful situations, and go out of your way to mitigate them.
You are cautious about changes that require you to step into the unknown.
You may spend more time organizing the life you’ve already built than planning for the achievement of new goals or desires.
You might describe yourself as free from past emotional trauma, but others who know you may disagree.

Possible Blind Spots – The Defender/Sentry may become over-analytical to the point of paralysis, brash, demanding, codependent. Cynicism may be holding you back more than you know. While you are good at imagining future possibilities, you may be spending too much time imagining worst-case scenarios that may or may not ever happen. Spend time imagining what you actually want instead of the worst that could happen, and one day you may look back and see how your life began to go in a new direction.

One who grows beyond the Defender/Sentry stage of development will attest to the following:

“A man becomes calm in the measure that he understands himself as a thought-evolved being… and as he develops a right understanding, and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect, he ceases to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remains poised, steadfast, serene. The calm man, having learned how to govern himself …will find his business prosperity increase as he develops a greater self-control and equanimity…” – James Allen, As a Man Thinketh

________________

Overview – Like the favorite parent in the neighborhood. Protective, and playful.

Strengths – Loyal, patient, pragmatic, responsible, cheerleading, inspired, inspiring, creative, imaginative inventive, insightful, enterprising, innovative, perceptive, clever, talented, gifted, resourceful, discerning, sharp.

Driven by – Need, control, believing in a dream (even if it never comes), and being happy, focused on persistence or hope.

Combination Analysis – The Defender in you has a sixth-sense about others’ intentions, and you may be sensitive, sometimes to a fault. Your keen observation skills sometimes get in the way of seeing what’s possible, and you may resist change, especially when it is imposed by someone else. The struggle with fear may be running in the background – a fear of loss, fear of falling short, or fear of change. You value stability and predictability in relationships.

When threatened, you are quick to react, either by going quiet to de-escalate a conflict, or by fighting to end the conflict as soon as possible. In either case, you need things to be resolved quickly. There is no in-between for the Defender. It’s your deep need for things to be the way they should be that keeps you from responding only half-way.

The retreater version of the Defender may be accused of being too sensitive, or for playing the role of a martyr. The fighter version of the Defender may be criticized for being brash, blunt, or too demanding. In either case, it is the potential threat to your identity and safety in your relationships that may cause you to retreat, deflect, deny, or blame an accuser. Both responses show a deep need to protect who you are and what’s yours, because you’ve worked too hard to survive this far.

Because you often find yourself living in survival mode, your default objective may be to preserve the status quo, even if it’s undesirable.

Despite all this running under the surface, you are a joy to be around! You’ve worked hard to fine-tune your thinking because you know how important it is. You’re a high achiever and a cheerleader. Your idealist personality inspires others. You have big dreams, and are rarely idle. When you do allow yourself a break, it’s easy to feel guilty that you’re not doing more. You’re imaginative, enterprising, intuitive, and resourceful, but sometimes you struggle to utilize that rare kind of faith that causes things to happen, especially the ones that are beyond your natural control.

Sometimes you’re not sure why your optimism hasn’t caused things to improve more quickly. You’re good at practicing all the positive thinking tips, but you often feel stuck, having not yet realized the changes that matter most to you. You would like to be more naturally tenacious and faithful. Deep down you want to believe there is unseen help, but sometimes it’s hard to recognize if any help is really happening.

Even when you deal with stress, you can usually manage to get it under control. When dealing with fear or anxiety, you’re able to shift gears back to optimism with some effort. You believe that anything is possible, and your actions show it.

You set lofty goals, and hold expectations for their accomplishment with a fair amount of mental tenacity, even if that determination is not reflected in your actions.

When things get worse instead of better, you believe that you can turn things around with more learning, or more intense positivity. When things go wrong, you can usually find a silver lining in the cloud, and you trust that this thought-habit will pay off in real results, eventually.

Each interaction with others is a potential opportunity to make progress toward your goals, and you strive to make the most out of every situation. Even though optimism is your chosen habit, waiting for the desired results can sometimes feel exhausting.

Staying positive all the time can be difficult, but it doesn’t keep you from striving to live that way. Sometimes, however, you do wonder how long it will take before you’ll finally experience the big results you’ve been longing for.

Other Common Attributes of the Defender/Optimist:

Observant and aware of other’s reactions and feelings.
Excellent/detailed memory for what is important to others.
Quick to adjust to any surrounding with a sense of the environment’s functions and how to best use them.
Reliable for follow through and completion of tasks.
Grounded, practical, and dependable.
Does not like working with abstract thought or theory.
Finds it difficult to do things that don’t make sense to you.
Appreciates tradition, security, and living a peaceful life.
Naturally focuses on what people need and want.
Considerate, kind, and thoughtful.
Inclined to put the needs of others above your own.
Learns best in environments where people are supportive of one another.
Takes responsibilities seriously.

Feels that values and principles are more important than ideals and standards.
Willing to do almost anything necessary to deliver on a promise.
Tries to be as generous as possible with loved ones but is sometimes left feeling taken for granted.
Friendly, affirming atmospheres fill the soul with meaning and happiness.
When it comes to your goals or desires, you usually see yourself as someone who will accomplish them, eventually.
The people in your life do not always hear and understand you, but that doesn’t stop you from pursuing your goals.
New ideas come often and easily to you but sometimes you struggle to follow-through.
You are quick to adjust your mindset when the potential for negative outcomes arise, and you wish others around you would do the same.
Your vision for the world and how to make a difference for others is ever evolving.
You are not triggered easily by stressful situations, but when you are, you recover quickly.
You wish you had more freedom to make your life the way you want it to be.
You may be mostly free from past emotional trauma, and you deal pretty well with that which does get in the way.

Possible Blind Spots – You may be overly blunt, or demanding. Your popularity may be based more on how you are perceived by others than in reality and how you really feel about yourself. On a bad day you may be tempted to put someone in their place, but the optimist in you keeps the tendency in check. Your optimism is appreciated, but sometimes it lends to unproductivity. Be watchful that you are not careless in your time management, because without concerted effort, your results will suffer. Both the defender and the optimist believe that if something needs to get done, they will have to do it themselves, so the combination of the two only amplifies this perspective. As such, having this mindset type can prevent you from seeing the additional resources and help that is available now and ready to support you in your growth and success. New ideas may come often and easily but make sure you use your strengths to help you overcome the struggle you may have with following-through.

One who grows beyond the Defender/Optimist stage of development will attest to the following:

There are more resources and support available than what we can see. Sometimes it takes a mentor to help a person discover it, as illustrated in the movie Searching for Bobby Fischer:

“Look deep, Josh. It’s there. It’s twelve moves away, but it’s there. You’ve got him.” – Bruce Pandolfini

Ever wonder what you’re not seeing?

____________________

Overview – This mindset type is rare. His/her understanding of and relationship with the universal laws of success is off the charts, but his/her skill with people is severely lacking. This is the mindset type that, without correction, is headed for a wealthy but lonely demise. His/her motivations may be selfish or materialistic. He may appear outwardly successful but may have very few close relationships with whom to enjoy it.

Strengths – Loyal, patient, pragmatic, street smart, responsible, experienced, wise, calm, knowledgeable, intelligent, sensible.

Driven by – Personal emotional needs, self-preservation, long term security, a desire to get in on life’s best experiences, focused on principles.

Combination Analysis – The Defender in you has a sixth-sense about others’ intentions, and you may be sensitive, sometimes to a fault. Your keen observation skills sometimes get in the way of seeing what’s possible, and you may resist change, especially when it is imposed by someone else. The struggle with fear may be running in the background – a fear of loss, fear of falling short, or fear of change. You value stability and predictability in relationships.

When threatened, you are quick to react, either by going quiet to de-escalate a conflict, or by fighting to end the conflict as soon as possible. In either case, you need things to be resolved quickly. There is no in-between for the Defender. It’s your deep need for things to be the way they should be that keeps you from responding only half-way.

The fighter version of the Defender may be criticized for being brash, blunt, or too demanding. In either case, it is the potential threat to your identity and safety in your relationships that may cause you to retreat, deflect, deny, or blame an accuser. Both responses show a deep need to protect who you are and what’s yours, because you’ve worked too hard to survive this far.

Because you often find yourself living in survival mode, your default objective may be to preserve the status quo, even if it’s undesirable.

You have experience with intentional goal achievement, and make empowered decisions. You understand there are fewer risks more dangerous than a careless mindset. As mastering one’s mindset can be a lifelong pursuit, your mindset type is among the most conscious of where you fall short.

Not only have you discovered the power of your thoughts, but you’ve learned to employ them intentionally for achieving sometimes seemingly impossible goals. You learn from your mistakes, and forge ahead courageously. You have experience with that rare kind of faith that causes things to happen—and whether you know it or not, you’ve likely participated in miracles.

Even if you can’t see it, and even if the world doesn’t know your name, you are beginning to live a legendary life. If you are not already wealthy, you are headed in a good direction. Going forward, look for evidence that the wealth you enjoy is directly related to the amount you need to accomplish the next step for your life’s mission.

At the Exemplar/Sage stage of development, you do not measure success in dollars, but in influence and legacy. Your values and principles run like a thread through everything you do. You are a deep thinker, clever, creative, and intelligent. You show great knowledge and sense.

You are beginning to understand the laws of success, learning to rely on them to help you overcome every obstacle. You believe in unseen help and may be aware of experiencing its sometimes inexplicable assistance.

You are generous and pleasant. You hold other people in high regard. You move forward with faith, even if you don’t see how the goal will be achieved. You’re on track to mastering your mindset and will continue to achieve everything you set out to do, as you continue to choose goals that are aligned with your divine mission.

Other Common Attributes of the Defender/Sage:

Observant and aware of other’s reactions and feelings.
Excellent/detailed memory for what is important to others.
Quick to adjust to any surrounding with a sense of the environment’s functions and how to best use them.
Reliable for follow through and completion of tasks.
Grounded, practical, and dependable.
Does not like working with abstract thought or theory.
Finds it difficult to do things that don’t make sense to you.

Inclined to put the needs of others above your own.
Learns best in environments where people are supportive of one another.
Takes responsibilities seriously.
When others are attacked, you feel the need to protect.
Feels that values and principles are more important than ideals and standards.
Willing to do almost anything necessary to deliver on a promise.
Tries to be as generous as possible with loved ones but is sometimes left feeling taken for granted.
Friendly, affirming atmospheres fill the soul with meaning and happiness.
Confident about goal achievement, and selective about what to pursue.
You are quick to adjust your mindset when the potential for negative outcomes arise.
Goals are not extensively delayed by unresolved issues from your past.
Your leadership and influence is not dependent on your having a particular title or position.
Your vision and goals tend to have a divine, inspired, or uplifting purpose.
You spend less time analyzing your problems and more time focused on affecting the desired outcome.

Possible Blind Spots – Your personality and demeanor is peaceful and self-assured, but you may be more reactive and demanding than you think. You’re smart, but that doesn’t make everyone else stupid. Discover the unique qualities in each of the important people in your life, and value them for the variety and differences they possess. Playing the martyr in conflicts does not serve you, and you’ll find greater fulfilment in your relationships if you will show more vulnerability. This mindset type can be self-centered and pretentious. While your career may flourish, your relationships may be stunted, and you will find greater balance and fulfillment by giving a higher priority to discovering what you don’t know about your fellow human beings. You’re too evolved and too wise in other things to miss this piece. Because you’ve come this far having grown so much, individuals at this stage of development may struggle with being teachable.

One who grows beyond the Defender/Sage stage of development will attest to the following:

____________________

Overview – This mindset type is rare. Your understanding of and relationship with the universal laws of success is off the charts, but your skill with people and fulfillment in relationships is lacking. This is the mindset type that, without correction, is headed for a wealthy but lonely demise. Your motivations may be selfish or materialistic. You may appear outwardly successful but may have very few close relationships with whom to enjoy your success.

Strengths – Street smart, resourceful, confident, clever.

Driven by – Personal emotional needs, self-preservation, long term security, a desire to enjoy life’s best experiences, focused on power.

Combination Analysis – The Defender in you has a sixth-sense about others’ intentions, and you may be sensitive, sometimes to a fault. Your keen observation skills sometimes get in the way of seeing what’s possible, and you may resist change, especially when it is imposed by someone else. The struggle with fear may be running in the background – a fear of loss, fear of falling short, or fear of change. You value stability and predictability in relationships.

When threatened, you are quick to react, either by going quiet to de-escalate a conflict, or by fighting to end the conflict as soon as possible. In either case, you need things to be resolved quickly. There is no in-between for the Defender. It’s your deep need for things to be the way they should be that keeps you from responding only half-way.

The retreater version of the Defender may be accused of being too sensitive, or for playing the role of a martyr. The fighter version of the Defender may be criticized for being brash, blunt, or too demanding. In either case, it is the potential threat to your identity and safety in your relationships that may cause you to retreat, deflect, deny, or blame an accuser. Both responses show a deep need to protect who you are and what’s yours, because you’ve worked too hard to survive this far.

Because you often find yourself living in survival mode, your default objective may be to preserve the status quo, even if it’s undesirable.

You have moved beyond intentional goal achievement to a place of being at one with the Highest purposes, and only employing those skills when your life’s purpose or divine mission assignment calls for it. The skill is not used for self-gratification beyond meeting your own needs, but it is readily utilized for serving others in their needs. You’re still conscious of where you fall short in the consistent application of true principles, but have learned how to rely on a power bigger than yourself to fill in the gaps and make up for your shortcomings.

No goal is too big, no cause too impossible to keep you from doing what you were put here to do. You learn from your mistakes more quickly than in the past, and forge ahead with both patience, temperance, and courage. You know that you’ve participated in miracles.

At this stage of development, you no longer measure success in influence and legacy, but in the real impact and improvement enjoyed by those you serve. You’re now more interested in their influence, and in their legacy. You experience a oneness with God (also known as Spirit, Source, Universe, or Nature) which guides your thoughts and actions to align with His will or the most Elevated Purpose in all things.

As for yourself, you are less focused now on what you can gain on the path; you’ve shifted to a place where you are more interested in what you can release both materially and emotionally, and in the experiences through which you pass for how they change you. Needs are few for a person in this realm, but all needs are naturally met with ease for those who live here.

You are a compassionate and patient wellspring of healing for others who are inspired and changed by your confidence in true principles. You are generous yet wise in your interactions with others, long-suffering in outcomes, and trust that ultimate good can be realized out of any circumstance. You participate in causes but are inclined to avoid recognition. You know your place in the grand scheme of things. You have become so others-focused that even the thrill of making a difference is no longer needed nor expected. The good news is that in living life unfettered in this way: clear in spirit and pure in heart, you will always have access to the rare rewards of true joy and serenity. You dwell in calmness beneath the tempests, and soar above the storms in stillness.

You consistently rely on the laws, unseen help, and divine power to help you overcome every obstacle. You are more consciously aware now when you experience its assistance, and despite the natural ups and downs that continue to give life meaning, your existence in general feels more purposeful, fulfilling, and joyful than ever.

___________________

Overview – In conflict with self, you may see yourself as ambitious but lack the real results you seek. You may tend to overthink everything. This type tends to wait until everything is lined up before starting a project or adventure, and as a result, the desired outcome may remain elusive. You’re motivated by the idea of a victory, but in reality, satisfied to live it only in your head.

Strengths – Responsible, cautiously ambitious, admired, calculated, smart, grounded, methodical.

Driven by – Growth, progress, expansion, big ideas, overcoming challenges, and the anticipated victory, focused on self-reliance.

Combination Analysis – A success-minded high performer. When given a task, you can knock it out in record time. Life is good as long as you’re checking things off your list, but when you don’t know what to do next, you can sometimes experience a void that is only filled by setting another goal or checking off another task.

You aim high and have a perfectionist’s eye for detail. When something needs to be done, you can usually do it without supervision. Some people may view you as a “mover and a shaker”.

Your self-esteem is boosted by the feeling of growth, progress, and expansion, and it can be hard to understand why others don’t want to move and grow at the same pace. Your drive has brought you to the accomplishment of some great achievements, so it can be puzzling when those closest to you don’t always appreciate your dedication to excellence.

You pride yourself in being intelligent and grounded in the way you operate and in the execution of your goals. You feel deeply and wish for a better life, but often circumstances beyond your control keep you from enjoying the results you want. You’ve tried to make changes, but nothing seems to work, at least permanently. It’s hard to believe things will ever change. You often feel unlucky, and struggle to get ahead, but as long as you’re working the checklist, you feel like you must be making progress—and sometimes that’s enough. You’re weary from repeated disappointments and skeptical of anyone who tells you things can improve. Basically, you’ll believe it when you see it.

Sometimes you feel that people who offer solutions have ulterior motives. While some people may call you a cynic, you call it wisdom. You can relate with the saying, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” You’re determined never to be fooled again.

You’re always open to learning more, if there’s truly something new to learn, and if it makes logical sense. Still, it’s easy to feel upset when things go wrong, and you may fundamentally disagree with anyone who claims that your thoughts play any role in causing your misfortune. You are more likely to trust science and academia than social media, empirical proof more than a (probably fabricated) testimonial, and you trust yourself to get things done more than almost anyone else.

Other Common Attributes of the Achiever/Realist

You believe you are in charge of your destiny.
You have worked hard for what you’ve achieved.
You feel the need to be prepared at all times to pivot.
You know that even if you lose everything, you still have yourself and thus the ability to turn things around.
Everything works out better when people listen to you.
It’s not important for you to be seen but you can’t seem to avoid it.
You think life is what you make it, so why not make it what you want?
You wish more people in your life understood you and could appreciate your efforts to make life better for everyone.
You love people and wish you could be more available for them, but you have to get that project finished.
You are not afraid of deeper relationships, you’re just really busy.
You don’t think you are pushing yourself too hard. Your work is how you relax, and you enjoy it.
You are surrounded by people who believe the need to perform is exhausting. Those same people always seem to need your help.
You believe it is important to always have a goal that challenges your creativity to do more.
To you, happiness comes from accomplishing the next big thing.
You would love to just relax, but then how will things get completed?
You enjoy being around people who are working on creative concepts and innovations.
You see every day as an opportunity to move the needle forward.
You embrace challenges as tools for learning and growing.
You pursue goals tirelessly and complete your tasks with excellence.
You try to always be prepared for the worst.
You feel that if other people would just do their part, you’d be able to avoid more of life’s hardships.

Possible Blind Spots – This mindset type combination is likely to confuse busy-ness with productivity. It places a high value on appearing actively engaged in work, but the results may not adequately reflect the amount of effort or energy expended. You may be inclined to show impatience, imbalance, ego, interrupt others, or demonstrate anger when things go wrong, which can negatively affect your work and family relationships.

One who grows beyond the Achiever/Realist stage of development will attest to the following:

___________________

Overview – Ambitious at heart, sometimes overcautious. False starts. Motivated by the public victory, but sometimes paralyzed by the potential for public failure. Get ready, get set, get set, get set… Covers bases, risk averse.

Strengths – Responsible, dependable, hard worker, watchful, prudent, cautious, skeptical, analytical, detail oriented.

Driven by – Growth, progress, expansion, popularity, success, fairness, mitigating risk, focused on avoiding danger.

Combination Analysis – A success-minded high performer. When given a task, you can knock it out in record time. Life is good as long as you’re checking things off your list, but when you don’t know what to do next, you can sometimes experience a void that is only filled by setting another goal or checking off another task.

You aim high and have a perfectionist’s eye for detail. When something needs to be done, you can usually do it without supervision. Some people may view you as a “mover and a shaker”.

Your self-esteem is boosted by the feeling of growth, progress, and expansion, and it can be hard to understand why others don’t want to move and grow at the same pace. Your drive has brought you to the accomplishment of some great achievements, so it can be puzzling when those closest to you don’t always appreciate your dedication to excellence.

You are a careful, hard worker who knows you’ll achieve your goals if you give it everything you’ve got, as long as nothing gets in the way. The problem is, things often get in the way. Life sometimes seems unfair, unpredictable, or unfortunate. You’re resourceful and manage to get through each challenge eventually, but sometimes you do long for a lucky break. Although you live life guarded, your healthy skepticism often keeps you safe. Like a sentinel, you’re always on the lookout for pitfalls and do a good job avoiding them. But sometimes you’re concerned about being stuck where you are.

You’d like things to improve in several areas of your life, but so far, your efforts haven’t caused any real giant leaps forward, and you may be unsure whether your thinking has any real effect on your results. Because things don’t always work out the way you intended, it can be easy to feel as though you don’t have a lot of control over your results, no matter how hard you try.

Sometimes life seems to be in the hands of fate, because no matter what you do, the same kinds of results keep happening. You believe positive thinking may help you live a better life, but haven’t seen a whole lot of evidence that doing so has a real effect on your results. Sometimes your reason for thinking positive is to simply avoid regrets, more than it is to cause a change.

As an intellectual, you strive to look ahead and mitigate risk, and you value fairness. Your talent for recognizing potential problems can be a blessing and a curse. Even when you intentionally choose an outcome different from the default future, it can sometimes be hard to focus more on the happy potential than on the possible failure. After all, you’ve been burned before.

You’re more likely to be motivated by avoiding problems and hardships than by seeking experiences you’ll enjoy. When facing a crisis, you always feel better when you can talk about the problem from every angle, to uncover the reason it happened and to help you avoid similar issues in the future. You’re open to other people’s opinions as long as they’re cautious or prudent like you, but wouldn’t it be nice if there weren’t always so many problems to talk about?

When it comes to your goals or desires, you see yourself as someone who will accomplish them as long as you can find a safe path.
Accomplishing your vision and goals would be easier if there weren’t so many risks.
You quickly identify the dangers of new ideas, and readily warn others who can’t see them as easily.
You are steadfast in holding your position when the potential for negative outcomes arise, and you wish others around you weren’t so eager and careless to proceed despite them.
You may be easily triggered by stressful situations, and go out of your way to mitigate them.
You are cautious about changes that require you to step into the unknown.
You may spend more time organizing the life you’ve already built than planning for the achievement of new goals or desires.
You might describe yourself as free from past emotional trauma, but others who know you may disagree.

Possible Blind Spots – Impatience, imbalance, skepticism. Your focus on potential risks often blinds you to existing minimal-risk avenues that would lead you to more desirable outcomes. Believing that alternative ways and methods exist and expecting to find them will be your first step to benefitting from them.

One who grows beyond the Achiever/Sentry stage of development will attest to the following:

___________________

Overview – The ultimate go-getter. Charismatic, successful, forward thinking but sometimes careless. Over promises, sometimes under delivers, but always spins it to be A-OK.

Strengths – Responsible, producer, high performer, admired, dependable, leader, mover, shaker, doer, initiator, generator, high achiever, perfectionist, creative, imaginative, inventive, insightful, ingenious, enterprising, innovative, perceptive, clever, talented, gifted, resourceful, discerning, sharp, shrewd.

Driven by – Success, the public victory, growth, progress, expansion, popularity, vision, being happy, focused on persistence or hope.

Combination Analysis – A success-minded high performer. When given a task, you can knock it out in record time. Life is good as long as you’re checking things off your list, but when you don’t know what to do next, you can sometimes experience a void that is only filled by setting another goal or checking off another task.

You aim high and have a perfectionist’s eye for detail. When something needs to be done, you can usually do it without supervision. Some people may view you as a “mover and a shaker”.

Your self-esteem is boosted by the feeling of growth, progress, and expansion, and it can be hard to understand why others don’t want to move and grow at the same pace. Your drive has brought you to the accomplishment of some great achievements, so it can be puzzling when those closest to you don’t always appreciate your dedication to excellence.

You are a joy to be around! You’ve worked hard to fine-tune your thinking because you know how important it is. You’re a high achiever and a cheerleader. Your idealist personality inspires others. You have big dreams, and are rarely idle. When you do allow yourself a break, it’s easy to feel guilty that you’re not doing more. You’re imaginative, enterprising, intuitive, and resourceful, but sometimes you struggle to utilize that rare kind of faith that causes things to happen, especially the ones that are beyond your natural control.

Sometimes you’re not sure why your optimism hasn’t caused things to improve more quickly. You’re good at practicing all the positive thinking tips, but you often feel stuck, having not yet realized the changes that matter most to you. You would like to be more naturally tenacious and faithful. Deep down you want to believe there is unseen help, but sometimes it’s hard to recognize if any help is really happening.

Even when you deal with stress, you can usually manage to get it under control. When dealing with fear or anxiety, you’re able to shift gears back to optimism with some effort. You believe that anything is possible, and your actions show it.

You set lofty goals, and hold expectations for their accomplishment with a fair amount of mental tenacity, even if that determination is not reflected in your actions.

When things get worse instead of better, you believe that you can turn things around with more learning, or more intense positivity. When things go wrong, you can usually find a silver lining in the cloud, and you trust that this thought-habit will pay off in real results, eventually.

Each interaction with others is a potential opportunity to make progress toward your goals, and you strive to make the most out of every situation. Even though optimism is your chosen habit, waiting for the desired results can sometimes feel exhausting.

Staying positive all the time can be difficult, but it doesn’t keep you from striving to live that way. Sometimes, however, you do wonder how long it will take before you’ll finally experience the big results you’ve been longing for.

Other Common Attributes of the Achiever/Optimist:

You believe you are in charge of your destiny.
You have worked hard for what you’ve achieved.
You feel the need to be prepared at all times to pivot.

Possible Blind Spots – Impatience, imbalance, ego, interrupting others, irritated easily, busy but not always productive, careless, insensitive. Because you’re highly driven and not always patient, and because you are an eternal optimist believing you’ll always find a way out of your predicaments, some individuals with this mindset combination type may have a tendency to go into more debt than they can realistically manage. Because you think highly of yourself, it may be hard for you to consider areas of your life that need improvement. You’re a big dreamer and it would be wise to give your results a chance to catch up with your vision before launching into yet another exciting endeavor. If things are good now, imagine how much better they could be when you allow yourself to learn new perspectives and strategies for success. For some in this category, life is thrilling as long as they’re winning, but when things don’t go their way they sometimes experience a void that can only be filled by the next win. It may be wise to slow down to enjoy, appreciate, and build more depth in your relationships for those kinds of rewards that can be experienced in no other way. New ideas may come often and easily but make sure you use your strengths to help you overcome the struggle you may have with following-through.

One who grows beyond the Achiever/Optimist stage of development will attest to the following:

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom and in all thy getting, get understanding.” (Proverbs 4:7)

You have experience with intentional goal achievement, and make empowered decisions. You understand there are fewer risks more dangerous than a careless mindset. As mastering one’s mindset can be a lifelong pursuit, your mindset type is among the most conscious of where you fall short.

Not only have you discovered the power of your thoughts, but you’ve learned to employ them intentionally for achieving sometimes seemingly impossible goals. You learn from your mistakes, and forge ahead courageously. You have experience with that rare kind of faith that causes things to happen—and whether you know it or not, you’ve likely participated in miracles.

Even if you can’t see it, and even if the world doesn’t know your name, you are beginning to live a legendary life. If you are not already wealthy, you are headed in a good direction. Going forward, look for evidence that the wealth you enjoy is directly related to the amount you need to accomplish the next step for your life’s mission.

At the Exemplar/Sage stage of development, you do not measure success in dollars, but in influence and legacy. Your values and principles run like a thread through everything you do. You are a deep thinker, clever, creative, and intelligent. You show great knowledge and sense.

You are beginning to understand the laws of success, learning to rely on them to help you overcome every obstacle. You believe in unseen help and may be aware of experiencing its sometimes inexplicable assistance.

But there is an even more exquisite experience available when you learn how to be motivated by a higher cause. You may feel your life was cut short if you get to the end of it without discovering the joy of truly losing yourself in the work of helping others without the world even knowing you did. Because you’ve come this far having grown so much, individuals at this stage of development may struggle with being teachable.
