FULL PROFILES
LOYALIST
THE LOYALIST
You are wired to make a great person greater. High Conscientiousness, high Agreeableness, mid Extraversion, low Risk Tolerance, external-leaning locus of control, Need for Achievement expressed through service. You are the person who turns a chaotic founder's brilliance into a working company, who keeps the team aligned, and who ships the unglamorous work that lets a vision become a business. Your shadow is title misalignment. You keep trying to start companies you should be joining, you choose the founder seat because it sounds higher status than chief of staff, and you optimize for a label that does not match the work that actually energizes you. Your highest-leverage seat is second chair to a founder who needs your discipline. The dimension scores are not telling you to settle. They are telling you the seat exists and you keep declining it.

THE VISIONARY
You are wired to bring a future into existence that nobody else can yet see. High Openness, high Extraversion, high Risk Tolerance, very high Need for Achievement. You are good at the part of company-building most people are bad at: naming the thing that does not exist yet, making the pitch land, and pulling believers into the orbit. Your shadow is the late-stage execution problem. You drift away when the work turns into spreadsheets and hiring plans, you start blaming the team when the pitch outruns the build, and you reach for the next blank page when the current one needs another six months of grinding. The pattern is not a character flaw. It is the cost of your wiring.
