The Original
Middling in the count, and the one most likely to have arrived at itself alone.

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 do it your own way, quietly, and you do not ask for permission.
You work in your own order, at your own hours, on the thing that has your attention. You rarely explain yourself while you are doing it, and approval is not the reward you are working for. The standard route holds no interest at all. What you produce tends to look nothing like what anyone expected, which is exactly the point.

- Agreeableness
- Low
High and low are set against the median of the same research sample. Emotional Range is measured separately and is not part of the type.
