These results offer you the opportunity to help understand where you are on the Pathfinder spectrum. First of all, note that we're assessing for the modules/values as they pertain to being a Pathfinder. So, for example, if you do not score highly for the value Positive, it doesn't mean you're not a positive person. It does mean you don't have the type of positivity required to be a Pathfinder. You can read more using the sidebar link Pathfinder Modules/Values Explained.

Whatever your Pathfinder results, it's important to understand that there is no wrong answer.

Some personality traits have always gained more praise. Extroverts over introverts. Engineers over marketers. Specialists over generalists. Leaders over followers. Concrete thinkers over abstract. People with strong Pathfinder characteristics are not better or worse than others—they just have a different skillset. The fact is, we need each type of person and the strengths they offer for the world and our businesses to work.

Knowing where you sit on the Pathfinder spectrum will help you decide how suited you are for certain roles. For example, if you're in Sales and attracted by a first sales hire role within a startup, then be aware that that role requires someone with strong Pathfinder characteristics. If that's not you then you're unlikely to be successful.

Equally, if you have strong Pathfinder characteristics and you see a role that looks attractive in a very traditional, hierarchical organization, then think twice as that rules-based structure will likely be highly uncomfortable for you.

If, having viewed your results, you want some help moving along the Pathfinder spectrum, then be aware that change begins with the awareness that you now have. You can move along the Pathfinder spectrum with the right support and the Helpful Resources link in the sidebar provides curated links to help you.
