Connected Enthusiasts apparently is my tribe though I also show similarities to the Autonomous Rebels. I would say that Autonomous Rebels is probably a closer match to me though I see some of me in each.
ReplyDeleteThe second survey places me in the Authenticity & Responsibility Quadrant.
if this helps you to know me ....
Well I have to say with much humility because I am not sure I deserve to be in the same group but ....Char you and I are more the same than we ever knew. I was put in the same tribe and the description described me to some extent. kinda wierd.
