How you work, earn, and build — based on your chart

May 16, 1990 at 8:47 AM

Part I

Career

You're wired for depth over speed. Your career path isn't a ladder — it's more like archaeology.

What Works and What Doesn't

Work You Enjoy

  • Deep focus work with clear outcomes
  • Projects that benefit from sustained attention
  • Roles where quality matters more than speed
  • Environments that value thinking before doing
  • Work involving synthesis, strategy, or design

Work That Drains You

  • Constant context-switching without closure
  • High-urgency culture where speed trumps quality
  • Roles requiring constant external networking
  • Environments where surface-level is rewarded
  • Jobs where your impact isn't visible

How You Handle Pressure

Your Stress Signature

Goes Quiet, Loops Internally

You retreat into your head. The thinking becomes circular.

Early Warning Signs

Over-Processing Simple Decisions

When small choices feel heavy, you're past your threshold.

What Helps

Structured Breaks + External Processing

Getting it out of your head — onto paper, to a person.

Recovery Time

Slow But Thorough

You don't bounce back fast, but when you do, you're restored.

Career Reminders

Keep these in mind at work

  • 1
    Done beats perfectYour 80% is most people's 100%. Ship earlier.
  • 2
    Document your workIf you don't make it visible, it didn't happen.
  • 3
    Discomfort isn't dangerStaying too long is as risky as leaving too soon.
  • 4
    Speak before you're readyWaiting for perfect clarity means missing the window.
  • 5
    Depth is your edgeDon't compete on speed. Compete on understanding.

Part II

Income

Your income isn't just about effort — it's about flow. How money comes to you, what opens channels, what blocks them.

Your Earning Pattern

Your Primary Channel

Income flows through networks and connections more than solo effort. You earn when you're positioned as the bridge between ideas, people, or domains. The more visible your synthesis, the more value you capture.

Best Earning Context

Quality + Networks

Money comes when your standards meet the right audience.

Income Rhythm

Irregular But Chunky

Not steady monthly — more like lumpy wins that average out.

How You Ask for Money

Your Natural Style

Collaborative, Not Combative

You prefer finding shared ground over aggressive anchoring.

Where You Leave Money

First Offer Acceptance

You tend to accept early to avoid tension. That's expensive.

Your Hidden Leverage

Patience

You can wait. Most people can't. That's negotiating power.

What to Practice

State Price + Silence

Say the number. Then stop. Silence is where discounts live.

Real Situations, Your Patterns

How you react to an income drop

A major client leaves or a revenue stream dries up...

Your first response is internal processing. You go quiet, assess, maybe loop too long before acting. The strength: you don't panic-grab bad opportunities. The risk: you wait too long to adjust.

Practical Move

Set a 72-hour rule: process privately, but take one concrete action within 3 days.

How you handle a windfall

Unexpected big payment, bonus, or deal comes through...

You don't immediately spend — your instinct is to hold and think. Good. But you might also delay decisions that would put money to work.

Practical Move

Pre-decide your windfall allocation: X% to buffer, Y% to invest, Z% to spend guilt-free.

How you price yourself

New project, freelance gig, or salary negotiation...

You research thoroughly — sometimes too much. You know the market, but you still quote toward the lower end "to be safe."

Practical Move

Quote 20% higher than your gut says. Worst case is you negotiate down to where you would have started.

Income Reminders

Keep these in mind about earning

  • 1
    Your rate reflects your qualityDiscounting devalues the work, not just the price.
  • 2
    Income follows visibilityThey can't hire what they don't know exists.
  • 3
    Discomfort is data, not dangerNegotiation feels bad. That doesn't mean you're wrong.
  • 4
    Network is net worthYour income ceiling is often set by who knows you.
  • 5
    Patience is leverageThe ability to wait is a negotiating superpower.

Part III

Wealth

Wealth isn't just income retained — it's how you hold, protect, and grow resources over time.

Your Accumulation Pattern

Your Wealth Style

Slow, structured, and patient. You're not built for get-rich-quick. You're built for get-rich-for-sure. Compound growth over decades suits you better than aggressive bets.

Accumulation Mode

Steady & Automatic

Systematic investment > willpower savings. Set it and forget it.

Risk Posture

Measured & Researched

You'll take calculated risks after thorough analysis.

Real Situations, Your Patterns

How you react to market volatility

Markets drop 20%. Your portfolio follows...

You go quiet and internal. You don't panic-sell — that's your strength. But you might also freeze, missing rebalancing opportunities.

Practical Move

Pre-write your volatility rules when calm: "If X drops 20%, I rebalance Y."

How someone might deceive you financially

Your trust patterns create specific vulnerabilities...

You trust people who match your values and communication style. Scammers know this. They'll build rapport first, share your interests, avoid conflict — then make the ask.

Red Flag Pattern

Anyone who makes you feel impolite for asking questions is counting on your discomfort. "You don't trust me?" is a manipulation tactic.

Practical Move

Separate likability from verification. "I trust you, AND I verify terms in writing."

How you handle lending to family/friends

Someone close asks for money...

Your conflict-avoidance makes saying no feel cruel. You'll often lend when you shouldn't, then feel resentful but not say anything.

Practical Move

"I don't do loans — but I can gift [smaller amount]." Reframes entirely. No repayment expectation.

Wealth Reminders

Keep these in mind about building wealth

  • 1
    Automate first, optimize laterA mediocre system you follow beats a perfect one you don't.
  • 2
    Nice doesn't mean safeVerify independent of how much you like someone.
  • 3
    Review quarterly, not dailyMatch your attention rhythm to your strategy timeline.
  • 4
    Buffers buy clarityEmergency funds aren't wasted capital. They're decision insurance.
  • 5
    Your pace is your advantageSlow and steady isn't boring. It's how you actually get rich.

Big Picture Synthesis

Your mind naturally operates at a higher altitude than most. While others get caught in details, you instinctively zoom out to see how pieces fit together. This gives you leverage when situations are complex — you can often see paths forward that aren't visible at ground level.

"When others feel overwhelmed by too many variables, you can often identify which ones actually matter and which are noise."

"In meetings, you're the one who says 'wait, here's what's really going on' and suddenly everyone sees it."

Share your synthesis earlier — don't wait until you're 100% certain.

Position yourself in roles where big-picture thinking is valued, not just tolerated.

Write or diagram your thinking — make the invisible visible to others.

Pair with detail-oriented people who can execute on your vision.

Quality Radar

You have an instinctive sense for what "right" looks like. This isn't just about visual taste — it extends to how you handle people, situations, and communication. You naturally catch errors, inconsistencies, and subpar work that others miss.

"When something feels 'off' about a situation, you're usually right — even before you can articulate why."

"Your work consistently needs fewer revisions because you self-edit automatically."

Trust your aesthetic judgment — when something feels wrong, investigate.

Take on roles involving design, review, or quality assurance.

Use your radar as a filter early, not just as a finishing step.

Teach others what "good" looks like — your standards are contagious.

Endurance Mode

You have a remarkable capacity to sustain effort toward meaningful goals over long periods. This isn't about grinding — it's a genuine ability to stay engaged with something important when others lose interest or give up. Your persistence is patient and methodical.

"When a goal requires months or years of consistent effort, you can maintain focus while others cycle through enthusiasm and abandonment."

"You're often the last one standing on projects that require stamina."

Commit to longer time horizons than others — you'll still be standing when they've moved on.

Choose pursuits where consistency compounds: skills, relationships, assets.

Build systems that support your persistence — remove friction from the things that matter.

Pair your endurance with clear milestones so you can track progress during long stretches.

Diplomatic Bridge

You have an instinctive ability to find middle ground and create agreement. This goes beyond conflict resolution — you can sense what different parties actually need (not just what they're saying) and find paths that honor multiple perspectives.

"When two people or groups are stuck in opposition, you can often identify the shared interest they're both protecting."

"When tensions rise, your presence tends to lower the temperature without dismissing anyone's concerns."

Step into mediator roles proactively — don't wait to be asked.

Name the underlying needs you're sensing, not just the surface positions.

Build trust with all parties before conflicts arise — you'll have more leverage when they do.

Frame solutions as "both/and" rather than "either/or."

Over-Polishing

Your mind naturally revisits and refines — this creates depth and thoroughness. But it can also lead to second-guessing what you've already expressed clearly enough, or endlessly polishing when "done" would serve you better than "perfect."

"Rewriting that message for the fifth time, or replaying a conversation wondering if you said the right thing."

"Delaying completion because there's always one more thing to improve."

Set explicit "ship it" rules: after X revisions or Y minutes, it goes out as-is.

Ask yourself: "Would the marginal improvement justify the delay?" Usually not.

Practice sending first drafts in low-stakes situations to build tolerance.

Your 80% is often others' 100% — calibrate accordingly.

Invisible Contribution

You tend to work behind the scenes, processing independently and synthesizing quietly. While this produces quality output, it means your impact often isn't visible to those who make decisions about compensation, promotion, and opportunity.

"Doing critical work that others take credit for because you never surfaced it."

"Being passed over because decision-makers don't know what you actually do."

Document your work weekly — even a simple log creates visibility.

Share process, not just output: "Here's how I approached this."

Claim your contributions explicitly in reviews and updates.

Find sponsors who will advocate for you when you're not in the room.

Comfort Inertia

Your endurance and patience — normally strengths — can become inertia if you stay too long in stable but limiting roles. Your ability to persist means you can tolerate situations others would leave, which can trap you in suboptimal positions.

"Staying in a role years past its growth potential because it's comfortable."

"Choosing stability over opportunity because change feels risky."

Set tenure limits: "I'll reassess this role every 2 years."

Track your growth explicitly — if it's flat, that's data.

Maintain external options: keep your network warm, skills current.

Distinguish between "stable" and "stuck" — they feel similar but aren't.

Conflict Avoidance

Your diplomatic instincts and desire for harmony can sometimes lead you to avoid necessary confrontations. Keeping the peace in the short term can create problems in the long term, as issues left unaddressed tend to grow.

"Not mentioning something that bothers you because you don't want to 'make it a thing.'"

"Agreeing to things you don't actually want to avoid conflict."

Reframe confrontation as care — saying the hard thing is an investment, not aggression.

Practice with small things first — build the muscle before you need it for big things.

Notice when you're choosing peace over truth — that's information.

The conversation you're avoiding gets harder every day you delay it.

Hidden Work

You tend to do the work quietly and thoroughly, but forget to make it visible. If people don't know what you did, they can't pay for it, recommend you for it, or give you credit. Invisible work is undercompensated work.

"Doing critical work that others take credit for because you never surfaced it."

"Not getting referrals because people don't know the full scope of what you do."

Document and share your work weekly — make it a habit, not an afterthought.

Share process, not just output: "Here's how I solved this."

Ask for testimonials after good work — while it's fresh.

Build a portfolio of visible wins, even for internal work.

Delayed Gratification

You can wait. That patience compounds into assets others spend. While most people struggle with impulse purchases and lifestyle inflation, you have a natural ability to defer rewards for future benefit.

"You don't feel the urgency to upgrade that others do — current things are fine."

"You can watch your investments grow without needing to touch them."

Use your patience for compound growth — time in market beats timing the market.

Set up automatic investments to let your patience work for you.

Choose investments that reward long holding periods.

Your ability to wait is rare — treat it as a competitive advantage.

Research Depth

You understand what you own. No black-box investing for you. Your thorough nature means you dig into financials, understand the mechanics, and make informed decisions rather than following hot tips.

"You can explain why you own something, not just that you own it."

"You're harder to sway by hype because you've done the homework."

Use your research depth for conviction — understanding creates holding power.

Focus your research on things you'll hold long — don't waste depth on short trades.

Build investment theses you can revisit and update over time.

Know when research is done — analysis paralysis is the shadow of this strength.

System Builder

Automating wealth works for you. Structure beats willpower. You thrive when you set up systems that work without requiring constant attention or emotional energy. Once a system is in place, you follow it.

"Automatic transfers happen and you forget they exist — wealth builds in the background."

"You create rules and follow them rather than making new decisions each time."

Automate everything possible — savings, investments, bills.

Build decision rules in advance: "If X happens, I do Y."

Remove friction from good behavior, add friction to bad behavior.

Review systems quarterly, not daily — match attention to strategy timeline.

Analysis Paralysis

Your research depth can become a trap. Researching forever means missing windows. The best time to invest was years ago — the second best time is now. Your thoroughness can delay action past the point of benefit.

"Still researching an investment you've been considering for 18 months."

"Waiting for more data when you already have enough to decide."

Set research deadlines: "I'll decide by [date] with whatever information I have."

Start small: invest a token amount while you research the rest.

Calculate the cost of waiting — opportunity cost is real cost.

Good enough now beats perfect never.

Relationship Blindspot

You trust people who match your values and communication style. Scammers know this. They'll build rapport first, share your interests, avoid conflict — then make the ask. Nice people can still take your money.

"Skipping verification because you 'have a good feeling' about someone."

"Feeling impolite asking for documentation from someone you like."

Separate likability from verification: "I trust you, AND I verify terms in writing."

Anyone who makes you feel bad for asking questions is a red flag.

Sleep on any financial decision involving someone you like.

Get independent verification — don't rely on their references alone.

Passive Drift

Set-and-forget can become set-and-ignore. Your systems strength means you don't check things often — but wealth needs periodic attention. Markets change, allocations drift, opportunities emerge. Total passivity has costs.

"Not checking your portfolio for so long you don't know what's in it."

"Missing rebalancing opportunities because you forgot to review."

Schedule quarterly reviews — put them in your calendar now.

Set drift alerts — get notified when allocations move past thresholds.

Review ≠ react. Check in without feeling obligated to change things.

Annual deep review: are the assumptions still valid?

Your Founder Profile

You're a long-game founder, not a quick-flip one. Your strength is building something substantial that compounds over years. You're less suited for venture-scale "grow fast, exit fast" plays and more suited for businesses that reward patience, quality, and depth.

Best Company Type

Service Business or Niche Product

Quality-dependent, relationship-driven, compounds with time.

Danger Zone

Hypergrowth Startups

Speed over quality culture will burn you out.

You're good at holding complexity and seeing talent. But you may avoid difficult conversations with underperformers too long, and you might over-rely on doing work yourself rather than delegating imperfectly.

You need someone who executes fast, tolerates imperfection, and doesn't mind external-facing work. Your ideal co-founder is action-oriented where you're reflection-oriented.

How you handle running low on runway

Six months of cash left, no clear path to revenue...

You go internal and strategic. You won't panic-pivot, which is good. But you might delay painful decisions (layoffs, pivots) longer than you should because confrontation feels wrong.

Practical Move

Set a tripwire in advance: "At 4 months runway, we make hard decisions." Pre-commit to the timeline when you're calm.

How someone might deceive you as founder

Your trust patterns create specific vulnerabilities...

Investors, partners, or early employees who mirror your values and communication style can slip past your radar. They'll seem aligned because they're agreeable — then their execution won't match their words.

Red Flag Pattern

Anyone who avoids specific commitments while being generally enthusiastic. "This is great, we should definitely do something together" without concrete next steps is a yellow flag.

Practical Move

Test with small asks before big commitments. How someone handles a low-stakes request predicts how they'll handle a high-stakes one.

Your Leadership Profile

You lead through clarity and consistency rather than charisma. People trust you because you're steady, fair, and thoughtful. You're not the "rally the troops" type — you're the "create conditions for good work" type.

You create psychological safety — people feel they can bring problems to you.

You see talent clearly and match people to roles well.

Your standards lift the whole team's quality over time.

You may delay hard feedback to preserve harmony — this creates bigger problems.

You might over-invest in developing underperformers who need to be moved out.

Your tendency to perfect can slow team velocity.

How you handle a struggling direct report

Someone on your team consistently underdelivers...

You'll try to develop them first — coaching, adjusting expectations, finding their strengths. This is good, but you might continue too long because the termination conversation feels wrong.

Practical Move

Set a clear improvement timeline with measurable milestones. If they don't hit them, you've already decided what happens next.

Your Employee Profile

You thrive in organizations that value depth over speed, where quality matters more than velocity, and where there's room for independent thinking. You struggle in high-chaos, constant-pivot environments.

Best Boss Type

Clear + Hands-off

Gives direction, then trusts you to execute.

Worst Boss Type

Micromanager or Chaos Agent

Constant check-ins or constantly changing priorities.

You're the colleague people come to when they need something thought through, not when they need cheerleading. You're trusted but might seem reserved until people know you.

How you ask for a raise

You believe you're underpaid and want to address it...

You'll research thoroughly, prepare your case, but then soften it in the conversation to avoid tension. You might accept the first response without pushing back.

Practical Move

Write down your number. Say it out loud before the meeting. In the meeting, state it clearly, then stop talking. The pause is where your leverage lives.

How employers might exploit you

Your employee patterns have exploitable edges...

Your loyalty and endurance can be weaponized. Employers who praise your "reliability" while underpaying you are trading on your discomfort with confrontation.

Red Flag Pattern

"We love you, but the budget..." every year for three years. If raises never materialize despite consistent praise, the praise is the compensation.

Practical Move

Track your market value externally. Interview periodically even when happy. Your best leverage is a real alternative.

Your Colleague Profile

You're the colleague people trust with complexity. You don't generate drama, you absorb it. People come to you when they need something thought through properly — not when they need validation or cheerleading.

Thoughtful contributions that move discussions forward, not sideways.

Reliability — when you commit to something, it happens.

Quality elevation — your standards subtly raise the team's bar.

You might seem reserved or hard to read to new colleagues.

Your thoroughness can feel slow to faster-moving peers.

You may not advocate loudly enough for your contributions.

How colleagues might exploit your patterns

Peer relationships have their own vulnerabilities...

Credit-taking peers will let you do the thinking, then present it as their own. Your preference for substance over visibility makes this easy.

Red Flag Pattern

"Can you help me think through this?" followed by them presenting your ideas without attribution. Once is a mistake; twice is a pattern.

Practical Move

Share your thinking in writing or in group settings, not just in private conversations. Create a paper trail of your contributions.

Your Partnership Profile

You bring strategic thinking, quality standards, and staying power. You're the partner who won't bail when things get hard, who catches what others miss, and who thinks three steps ahead. Partnerships benefit from your depth.

Partners who execute faster than you think, who handle external-facing work comfortably, and who don't mind healthy friction. You need someone who complements your reflection with action.

Partners who are charming but vague about deliverables.

People who share your values on paper but not in action.

Agreements based on rapport rather than documentation.

When a partner wants to change the deal

Your 50/50 partner wants to discuss "adjusting" the split...

Your instinct is to find harmony — you'll listen to their reasoning and try to understand their perspective. This openness can be exploited if you're not careful about what you're actually agreeing to.

Practical Move

Never negotiate terms in the same conversation you hear them. "Let me think about this" buys you space to evaluate without the pressure of real-time rapport.

How partners might deceive you

Partnership trust patterns create specific vulnerabilities...

Partners who emphasize relationship and trust over documentation are often the ones who benefit from ambiguity. "We don't need lawyers, we trust each other" can precede "That's not what I remember agreeing to."

Red Flag Pattern

"Don't you trust me?" when you ask for something in writing. Trust and verification aren't opposites — anyone who frames them that way is suspicious.

Practical Move

Everything in writing, from the beginning. Frame it as "protecting the partnership" not "protecting yourself from them." Same outcome, less friction.
