"For leaders, gamblers, revolutionaries, masochists, and street-wise youths."
"There’s a fire in your soul that can’t be quenched. It searches for purpose, a flag to wave and a stance to shout. Your gut, heart, and body are in tune, flexing health so strong you could survive anything. Maintain your temple – after, physique keeps you standing. Loyalty steadies the hands. And determination marches you forward. You won’t give up until the battle is won."
"Low courage leaves you docile, vulnerable. You lack the drive to stand up for yourself, making you an easy target for the strong. And even if you wanted to fight back, you wouldn’t have the willpower to raise your fists."
"For mechanics, inventors, dancers, trickshooters, pickpockets, and thieves."
"Your greatest assets are your hands and feet. You use your hands to interact with the world, and your feet give you levity. You coordinate your movements with agility and precision. It compels you to shape the world beyond what it is, to make new from what is old. To aim, and to catch. To sneak, and to not be caught. You’ll take care of things by yourself, and undercover, if necessary."
"Low dexterity leaves you staggered, trapped. You don’t have the quick wit to apprehend life’s many unpredictabilities, or the creativity to survive them. Your zest for life is buried underneath your no-fun attitude."
"For philanthropists, therapists, healers, entrepreneurs, activists."
"Understanding. Judgment. You detect feelings from the surface down to even the subconscious. It allows you power over your emotions, as well as others. Most importantly, it begets protection. Protection from unnecessary conflict or self-destruction. It compels you to be honest – to use trust to get the truth, then share it, unfiltered and generous, for the greater good."
"Low empathy leaves you selfish, cold. Your bond with others is only as meaningful as how you can use it. You look inward rather than outward, letting the world burn if it’ll warm you."
"For students, historians, eclectic nerds with trivia on hand, scientists, priests."
"What you know of the established world – definitions, boundaries, and function – keeps you stable. You’re a pattern-finder, and you analyze the past, put the present pieces together, and predict the future. You have no problem probing for information, as intellectual discourse is merely an exercise for you. You’re only here to find answers. Resist temptations and distractions."
"Low acumen leaves you aimless, lost. Your mind, what should be your anchor, is a labyrinth of dead ends. What you don’t know will hinder your steps forward, and what you want will always be out of your reach."
"For artists, detectives, journalists, explorers of the world, thrill-seekers, hedonists."
"You must know your environment before all else. What do you see, smell, feel, taste, hear? No detail will go unnoticed, no crevice unexplored. Even the uncomfortable must be analyzed and deduced appropriately. The world is ever-changing and delicate, so your investigation must leave everything intact. Even at the risk of your own body, which can also be studied."
"Low perception leaves you immature, superficial. The surface level is all you’ll see, and what knowledge you have will be useless with your inability to apply it. Leaving you alone is a sure-fire recipe for self-destruction."
"For performers, musicians, designers, politicians, corporate executives, narcissists."
"The world is a stage to perform upon. You take on different personas, tell elaborate stories, and, ultimately, deceive others. You’re both style and culture-savvy. This grants you psychoanalytical flexibility and heightened social awareness. You will discover what people are hiding. You will charm it out of them with suggestive tricks. And you will convince others of the truth."
"Low charisma leaves you ill-mannered, unable to ride the difficult social tides. If you don’t understand others, they’ll never understand you, and you’ll never get the love you crave."
