Knowing Yourself 
You  are  highly  social  and  people-orientated,  but  this  doesn’t  mean  you  are  overly  sensitive. 
Instead  you  like  to  keep  things  fast-paced  and  fun  rather than emotional or serious. You tend to 
plunge  into  things,  learning  as  you  go,  and  trusting  in  your  ability  to  respond  resourcefully  to 
situations  as  they  arise.  You  are  nearly  always  busy,  rushing  to  get  from  one  place  to  another, 
making decisions as you go and trouble shooting on the fly. 

What  makes you feel great about yourself is when you achieve exceptional mastery in your craft, 
whatever  that  might  be.  Mastering  new  skills  helps  you  feel  good  about  yourself.  Projects  you 
care  deeply  about are excellent opportunities to sharpen various abilities and innovate your way 
to  success. Experimentation is in your DNA, and that desire to explore opens up opportunities to 
conquer  unfamiliar  circumstances.  Fortunately,  you  have  reasonable  expectations  and  don’t 
panic  when  a  task  proves  impossible.  You  can  step  back  and  appreciate  all  you  have 
accomplished, even if you aren’t moving forward at the current moment. 

YOUR MOTIVATIONS:  YOUR MINDSET: 

• Drivers -- Ability to get things done and work  • Approach -- Straight-shooting and quick to go 
well with others  after your goals 

• Insights -- See the real opportunity  • Principle -- Don’t worry… act! 

• Values -- Material comfort and style  • Tension -- Social but not emotive 

• Gifts -- Quick reflexes and good humor  • Goal -- The ultimate realists 

• Thrives -- Being flexible and adaptable   • Fears -- Lack of self-sufficiency

Living Your Life 

When  you  are  your  best  self,  you  are  both  warm-hearted  and  down-to-earth  with  a  gift  to  meet 
the  requirements  of  the  present  moment.  When  it  comes  to  making  decisions,  you  follow  a 
logical  and  sensible  approach.  At  the  same  time,  you  are  also  flexible  and  ingenious.  It  is 
remarkable  how  you  have  no  difficulty  adapting  to  change  when  you  are  at  your  best.  In  fact, 
you  are  quick  to  make  it  happen  if  it  helps  with  running life more smoothly. Despite your logical 
thinking, you manage to empathize with others’ feelings and needs. 

HOW YOU MANAGE YOUR ENERGY 

You  feel  your  best  when  you  can  take  exciting  leaps  whether  it  be  related  to  your  personal  or 
professional  life.  Freedom,  adventures,  zero  obligations  and  exciting  possibilities  are  the things 
that  make  you  feel  truly  content  and  happy  in  life.  When  you  feel  stressed,  you  view  the  world 
pessimistically  and  you  look  at  others in a negative light. You don’t like to be around people and 
it also appears to me that you try to ignore any issues you know you need to fix. 

YOUR ENERGY DRIVERS:  YOUR ENERGY DRAINERS: 

• Living life on your own terms  • Being surrounded by needy people 
• Having opportunities for socializing  • Feeling a sense of loss of control 
• Being fully engaged  • Having overwhelming emotions 
• Looking forward to new adventures  • Thinking alone for too long 
• Doing new and exciting things   • Having to slow down  
YOUR SOURCES OF CALM:  YOUR BEHAVIOR WHEN STRESSED: 
• Spend time with people who energize you  • Becoming self-doubting 
• Focus on the future  • Taking on too much 
• Focus on your goals   • Struggling with constraints

HOW YOU CONNECT WITH PEOPLE 

People  love  being  around  you,  because  you  keep  every  moment  imaginative  and  interesting, 
whether  you  are having a chat, relating one of your many fascinating experiences, or suggesting 
a  fun  activity.  Easy-going,  tolerant,  and  charming,  you  are  someone  who  makes  any  number  of 
people  feel  at  ease around you. Your natural confidence, zest for living, and clear indifference to 
what  people  think  about  you  often  attract  people  with  the  same  traits.  Anyone  who  becomes 
your  friend  had  better  be  ready  for  quite  a  ride—a  risky,  adrenaline-rich  exploration  of  exciting 
possibilities.  Sure, you have a reputation for doing those sorts of things on your own, but there is 
nothing  like  having  a  few  game-for-anything  friends  with  you.  You  aren’t  dismissive  of  people 
who  won’t  join  you;  'live  and  let  live'  is  your  motto,  they  can  do  as  they  like.  You  rarely  have 
trouble finding at least a few people willing to join you on an adventure. 

Your communication style and focus is best described as... Action-focused, Win-win, Persuasive, 
Direct, Nothing too personal, Logical, Witty, Feedback giving, Enthusiastic, Realistic, 
Straight-forward 

YOUR NEEDS FROM A FRIEND:  YOUR NEEDS FROM A PARTNER: 

• Sees things from a realistic perspective  • Retreat when you’re upset so you have 
• Is willing to be spontaneous  solitude 
• Knows how to laugh about life  • Allow you to be free 
• Does not pressure you to make long-term  • Have a passion for life 
decisions  • Can see the humor in things 
• Does not take yourself (or life) too seriously   • Value your outlook on life  
CHARACTERISTICS IN OTHERS THAT  DEVELOPMENT IDEAS FOR YOUR 
FRUSTRATE YOU:  RELATIONSHIPS: 
• Take themselves too seriously  • Stop relying as much on improvising things 
• Do not accept current realities  • Try to show more appreciation for people 
• Waste your time inefficiently   • Try to be more caring

Your Professional Style 

You are a natural born leader, preferring to take charge and control over projects even if this role 
was  supposed  to  be  delegated  to  a  group  of  people.  Because  of  this,  you  tend  to  lead  others. 
Even  though  this  may  upset  some,  you  feel  you  must  take  over  if  someone  who  you  deem 
incompetent  has  been  put  in  charge.  I  can  see  that  even  though  you  are  open  to  others’ 
thoughts,  if  they  clash  with  your  ideas,  you  dismiss  them.  You  are  more  willing  to  divide  jobs 
once you have had your say.

You move quickly, unafraid of change or the need to make fast decisions. I think you like to get 
stuck right into a project and you become frustrated if anything stands in your way. You commit 
to the course of action you select and progress promptly along.

You think, act and move quickly, always doing things at an accelerated pace because you like to 
power through all that you do. You have little patience for uncertainty and any type of protocol 
that may slow you down. Because you are more daring than most, you don’t mind taking risks if 
it means it will save you some time. 

Within  the  workplace,  others  admire  your  enthusiasm,  your  ability  to  create  change  and  your 
determination  to  thrive.  I  can  see  that  these  are  all  appreciated  traits  and  they are your biggest 
contributions.

You  have  a  strong  need  to  be  heard  and  if  you  feel  your  opinions  and  ideas  aren’t being taken 
seriously  or  appreciated,  you  can  become  quite  pushy.  You  don’t  need  people  to  act  over  the 
top  with  praise,  but  some  kind  of  recognition  would  feel  nice.  I  think  that  because  you 
understand  the  significance  of  appreciation  and  acknowledgement,  you  regularly  compliment 
others.

It  appears  to  me  that  you  treat  everything  in  your  life  with  a  sense  of  urgency.  You  want  to  get 
things  done  as  fast  as  possible.  You  apply  this  urgency  in  the  workplace  when  it  comes  to 
meetings and events and even in your personal life concerning your relationships. While this can 
be  a  good  thing  as  you  are  always  on  top  of  everything  and  get things done, people who don’t 
work  in  the  same  way  may  also  see  you  as  short  and  impolite.  You  must  be  able  to  relax  and 
alter your approach when needed.

you  can  be  a  ‘sore  loser’  of  any  argument  as  most  likely  the first person to finish a project or

Your Classic Personality Assessment Types 

The  innovative  LX  system  uses  big  data  and  advanced  dynamic  analytics  to  build  a  completely 
personalized  model  of  your  character  --  it  does  not  seek  to  just  put  you  into  4,  9,  16  or  49 
personality  types.  With  the  LX  System's  new  general  approach  to  character  modelling,  it is also 
possible  to  simulate  many  other  classic  personality  assessments, and so using your six answers 
we  have  shared  with  you  below  what  the  LX  analytics  would expect your personality type to be 
in various common alternative assessments. 
 
With  six  questions  we estimate these results will be about 70% accurate, and our analysis shows 
that  with  more  information  on  your  personality  the underlying LX system's algorithm's should be 
able  to  model  your personality with an accuracy that is consistently over 90%. We are constantly 
improving our analytics and results, and will share them with you overtime.

About the LX System 

LX  is  a self-discovery and self-development system powered by data and technology.  At its core, 

it  seeks  to  measure  and  analyze  thousands  of  your  character  traits,  and  ultimately  map  your 

‘character  DNA’  sequence.  Using  big  data  and  advanced  algorithms  the  LX  System  simplifies  a 

person’s  complex  ‘character  DNA’  into  36  trait  clusters  that can be used to more simply describe 

anyone’s  personality  (see  below).  The  LX  Six-Question  Speed  Survey,  and  this  resulting 

Personality Profile, is based on a highly simplified version of the full LX System.  

 
 

About LX 
‘LX’  is  the  collective  name  for  the  50  experts  who  contributed  to  the  LX  System’s  development. 

LX’s  aim  is  to  use  modern  technology  to  improve  everyone’s  self-awareness  and  help  them 

become  their  best  selves.  The  LX  Six-Question  Speed  Survey  and  Personality  Profile  seeks  to 

make  the  core  self-awareness  insights  from  the  LX  System’s  technology  freely  and  easily 

accessible to everyone in the world who has an internet connection and 5 minutes to spare.
