This is a Star Map, connecting related personality characteristics. How does this map work?
There are five general backgrounds a person can come from: Scholarly, Logical, Genial, Creative, and Streetwise. You may select up to three (3) backgrounds (e.g., Genial and Scholarly).
Next you may select up to five (5) traits that could represent you. These are words your co-workers might use to describe you, qualities that are apparent based upon your background, or terms you would use in an interview to explain your strengths.
In this version of the rules, you start by selecting green-colored words (italicized for color blind people), and you can only use a blue-colored word (non-italicized) if you select a green-word from both sides (e.g., Keen and Methodical, to reach Ingenious).
Put more clearly:
- Pick 3 of the main words, written in all caps (Creative, Streetwise, Logical, Scholarly, Genial) that you resonate the most with.
- Select five green (italicized) words.
- If a blue word (in the middle of a line) is between two of the green words you’ve chosen, you can also add that.
- Collect all of these words together as your personal descriptors.
Is the goal to unlock blue-words? No.
Is it to have the words that are the most truthful? Also no. The words we’ve chosen are words that resonate with us, or that we aspire to be described by. They are the words that call to us above the others.
So even if you don’t 100% fit the description yet, you have a better sense of what the best version of yourself may look like. The version of yourself that you are the most proud to be.
