The Adaptive Maker
Energy peaks at Inventing and Supporting.
A sample curve. People with this type share where their top two peaks sit; how high they go, and the shape of the rest, varies person to person.
You invent, but rarely for invention's sake; you create in service of what the people around you actually need. You are happiest making something useful and then shaping it to fit, responsive to feedback and unattached to your first draft. You combine originality with generosity, which makes you a builder others love to work with, because your solutions bend toward them rather than the other way around.
At their best
You produce flexible, genuinely useful solutions and you adapt them gracefully as needs change. You are the maker who listens, turning real problems into things that work for real people, without ego getting in the way.
Watch out
Your accommodating instinct can lead you to abandon your own good ideas too quickly to please someone else, and not every piece of feedback deserves to win. Guard against diluting a strong solution into a compromise that satisfies everyone and serves no one, and hold the line when your judgment is right.
