You are {result #1 percent} The Prophet: Establishing Truth
Prophets value "truth." In any given situation, who's right or what's right is the primary issue. They are willing to force the issue any time they think right and wrong are at stake. They tend to be visionary people who set the standard high and are thus often perceived as being negative.
Passion: Establishing truth, separating right from wrong, being right, living right, manifesting strength and authority, fervor.
Primary Fears: Being wrong, showing weakness, being disrespected, and living without passion.

You are {result #2 percent} The Servant: "Just Live It"
Servants serve. They consistently focus on physical needs and, as such, are often not particularly verbal people. They love a general closeness or being "with" people and hate contention. Their emphasis is typically on "doing" for God rather than "being" with God. They typically prefer being or working alone. They have a hard time delegating and can easily burn out and become resentful. They feel like the only person in the room who is working hard enough. Servants must learn to ask and rely on other people for help rather than think they can do everything on their own.
Passion: Living life practically, working with their hands, working in this life to produce and bless others, greatly values appreciation.
Primary Fears: Not being capable of handling life and relationship situations; conflict; tension in relationships; being inadequate.

You are {result #3 percent} The Teacher: "Get Understanding!"
Teachers are the intellectual respondents in the group. They love to analyze situations and respond consistently and fairly. It is best and easiest if there is a written standard for them to react to. They need to know what is expected of them, and they feel shame when they are exposed for a lack of knowledge in a situation. They often have a need to understand people and situations before getting involved. Their drive for understanding often stems from feelings or beliefs that they are inadequate.
Passion: getting understanding, seeing how things work, fair and equitable application of the written word or a police manual, training the "children" (not just physical children but spiritual children).
Primary Fears: Making a mistake, not having a handle on a subject, not maintaining respect or control (especially in a teaching or learning environment!) not doing things properly and being too emotional.

You are {result #4 percent} The Exhorter: Taking on the Challenge
Exhorters are the ultimate people person. The best definition of exhorters is that they study the faces of people and respond accordingly. They are unpredictable and have a harder time understanding themselves than any of the other types. They thrive when they are faced with a challenge and love to take on the impossible.
Passion: vision; seeing a vision or preferred future come to pass; coming along side others to see them reach their potential; taking on any challenges that would stand in the way of this maximized potential. Seeing the glass half full rather than half empty
Primary Fears: Missing the Moment: Exhorters want to make the most of every opportunity and desire to live life to its fullest; they hate missing anything that could have made a better life for them or for the people they are trying to influence. They fear not measuring up to who they are destined to be.

You are {result #5 percent} The Giver: Creating and Nurturing Value
Givers are interested in seeing people prosper. They love to take things that are of no value and turn them into gold mines. They often see themselves as the provider for others, which easily translates into being a father or mother figure. They love to nurture others. They also greatly value loyalty in their family and friendships.
