What this type means

The Strategist thrives in work that combines abstract thinking, autonomy, and impact. Sees the move ahead and gets to make it. Heavily overrepresented in senior leadership, consulting, venture capital, and policy roles.

In relationships

Fits: senior strategy roles, investing, policy, founder/CEO, planning, futurism. Anything where the value is in seeing what others can't yet.

Watch for

You'll suffer in roles that require you to execute someone else's plan. You don't want to be a cog — you want to be the gear that decides where the system turns.

The growth edge

You need agency over direction. If you're stuck executing, the answer is rarely to "be more patient" — it's to move closer to the decision layer or out.
