your profile says about you:


You're that friend who's all about keeping things low-key and staying in your creative bubble. Not one to go out looking for stuff – you kind of rely on others to bring the interesting things right to your doorstep. And hey, when someone gives you the nudge, you'll happily step out of your cave.


Despite your leave me alone aura people are just drawn to your mystery. You're just that cool!


Parties? Not exactly your scene but you've got an opportunistic streak that's super social.


When you do come out, you're this bubbly and intriguing person, who can start conversations with just about anyone.

And let's talk networks – you've got this radar for opportunities, maintaining this big web of family, friends, and colleagues that help keep you sane.

Profile Line 2 Strengths & Challenges for 2 /4s

The Hermit likes to stay indoors, choosing to dedicate time to their passions while the world passes by.


While keeping to themselves is the default for this Profile type, your moves captivate others who will try to pull you outside. For Hermits determining the proper time to emerge is key.


It's important to remember that while solitude can be a beautiful thing, human connection is also necessary for our emotional and mental well-being. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but allowing yourself to open up and share your passions with others can lead to new opportunities and growth.


Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone and try new things. You may find that there are people out there who share your interests and can help you expand your creative horizons. And remember, it's okay to take breaks and retreat into your own world when needed - finding balance is key.


So embrace your inner Hermit, but don't forget to step into the light every once in a while. You never know what amazing things may come your way.

The Opportunist is a connector, and master networker who helps spread information.


You are externally focused and so are able to see people clearly for who they are and use that to your advantage. Connecting people is innate to you and you’re likely the center of a large friendly network. 


Heartfelt and selfless you approach leadership preoccupied about the groups well-being, and may be stubborn about the path forward. With your helpful, well-meaning nature, rejection of your leadership can be a hard thing for you to stomach.


Despite your many talents, rejection can be difficult for you to handle. You put your heart and soul into everything you do, and when others don't see the value in your contributions, it can be hard not to take it personally. However, you have a strong support system in your wide network of friends and colleagues, and they are always there to lift you up when you need it. It's important that you maintain a good network and lean on them often.
