• TRANSACTIONAL PERSONALITY

    Inventor

    Vision & The Future

Superpower

Inventors tend to be future-based, idea-oriented people who are self-reliant and highly subjective in their thinking.

Kryptonite

Inventors tend to halt transactions with new ideas or a need to control and may avoid/dismiss relationships and judgments.

Worldview

Your philosophy of life or concept of the world—the overarching context for “how things are.”

SUBJECTIVISM
The view that there is no external or objective truth and reality is what is imagined or 'of the mind.'

IDEALISM
The practice of forming ideals or living under their influence.

NARRATIVE: POSSIBILITIES
In transaction, often sees possibilities as limitless; there are a multitude of solutions

SELF-ACTIONAL
If it is to be, it is up to me. I am an overlord of my world, I know best, and I can turn things out.

Superpower

The value (superpower) you bring to others or yourself, in exchanges or transactions.

THE FUTURE
The enthusiasm to explore uncharted and often bold futures.

VISION & CONTROL
A mind often working on a five to ten year plan; a vision worth getting behind.

IMAGINATIVE, STRATEGIC, OPTIMISTIC
A vision for how things could come together towards a satisfactory outcome for all involved.

POSITIVE MOODS
The glass is almost always half-full of new possibilities.

Kryptonite

The cost (kryptonite) you are to others or yourself, in exchanges or transactions.

EGO
Big ideas come with big egos. While this is required for uncharted territory, be careful not to bully others into submission. Learn to say "I don't know."

INDEPENDENT
Just because you can do it all yourself doesn't mean you should. Independence is a kind of poverty (this is why some great ideas never take off). Beware.

BROODING / ARROGANCE
When you are uncertain or noodling on a problem, you can get broody and arrogant. Careful not to get it on others.

SEE OTHERS AS IDIOTS
Inventors see others as either equals or idiots (and for you, there are few equals).
