One of sixteen types

The Maverick

1 OF 16 TYPES4 IN 100 PEOPLE

The least common of the sixteen, which is roughly what you would expect.

In a room of one hundred people, four have this pattern.

Rarity is the share of a published research sample of 300,000+ people with this pattern, not the share of illustro takers.

In brief

You would rather be interesting than agreeable, and you usually manage both.

You will take the bet that other people talk themselves out of. You say the thing the table is thinking, and rules strike you as opening positions rather than settled facts. Nothing about you is easy to script. People find you exciting to be around and difficult to predict, and you have made peace with both.
