An interesting questionier to figure what type of work suits you.

@Tom-Shannon haha... I wrote a story based on the feeling you just described. I am waiting to hear how the pitching goes at this moment. I ended on a positive note, although I do not always feel like that in my real life.

Very accurate! Like many of you, I am also a Maker and Maven and anti Warrior
Thank you for sharing this

Another Maker/Nurturer here...and anti-Essentialist.

When I evaluated why I do art, it’s mostly because of my desire to learn, to surpass my pervious work, to challenge and grow. I feel so alien with the artsy crowd but also feel the same way in many other fields. Somehow I’ve wanted art enough to make it work.
As an anti-nurturer, I appreciate the solo lifestyle freelancing affords. I like forums and occasional friend gatherings but being around people naturally drains me.
-
I just took the test and I got. Maker, Maven, Anti Essentialist

@xin-li Cool! I'd like to see the story. I'm sure we are many with these feelings, your book has an audience. At the end of the day, I want the "simple" button. I want to work smarter, not harder. I want the bulk of my time spent with my ideation/creative work flow.

@Gabby-Correia, @Laurel-Aylesworth-0 I try to find the explaination for every type in the sparketype website. But it seems they did not list that (probably wanted me to buy a copy of the book to find out hehe...)
What is a Warrior (or Anti Warrior), and a Essentialis (or anti-Essentialist) about?
-
@xin-li In a nutshell, what I understood about the Warrior was that they gather people for and lead them to a goal.
-
@xin-li The Essentialist is someone who likes to organize things, like do excel spreadsheet...and nothing would torture me more than excel spreadsheets. But, I think that strengthening that side of me would support the Maker in me, grounding me in the every day experience of creating instead of waiting to feel like creating. I think of it as the business side of creativity.
