As a Member, you will find yourself as someone who’s naturally gifted to understand reality. While other archetypes tend to go beyond what’s there, you are sure to ground yourself on the flat earth as you see your importance by being part of a group or a system. 

Furthermore, you also possess the ability to turn thought into action. Instead of wandering around and finding life’s meaning, your dedication to a goal or a purpose puts you on track. 

On top of that, your we-centeredness allows you to work excellently with those around you. Able to see a common goal, you won’t hesitate in dedicating your time, talents, and treasures to others. As long as the aim of the group or the society at large is realized, you’d gladly dedicate yourself to it. 

Basic Qualities

Introvert

You are: 

• Perceptive
• Good Listener
• Prudent
• Mindful
• Independent

As an introvert, you exude a strong yet withdrawn sense of self. You dislike showing off and are quite unsure in dealing with crowds and large groups.  Even then, this doesn’t mean that you have a weak sense of self because, in reality, you know yourself better than anyone else. Thus, you don’t really need the approval of those around you to become who you want to be. 

More importantly, you are also independent and prudent. With your cautious attitude, you don’t simply pounce on things. You like the wait and see approach, then act independently when the time comes. As such, this makes lesser room for error and mistakes, allowing you to become ‘lowkey’ and successful in life. 

Things to pay attention to: 

• Overthinking
• Pushover
• Misunderstood
• Anxiety
• Passivity

Being an introvert, you are prone to the possible weaknesses mentioned above. For one, you have the tendency to be pushed over by others. Since you lack that assertiveness in groups, dominant people are quick to take advantage of your silence. As a result, you become invaluable at times, especially when you are unable to stand for what’s right. 

Furthermore, since you love sulking in, you also have the tendency to overthink and be anxious. Common among people who lack a proper outlet, your tendency to sink in forces you to converse only with yourself. This often leads to a lack of well-balanced perspectives, preventing you from going out of your own mental circle.  

We-Centeredness

You are: 

• Altruistic
• Cooperative
• Moralistic
• Empathetic
• Optimistic

We-centeredness means that you allow others to become part of your reality. Because you seek to strongly integrate your existence with those around you, you shape your goals in a way that helps them as well. With that, you take into account how others think and feel. 

Furthermore, you also consider the moral implications of your own choices in conjunction with your relationships with others. Instead of simply deciding on your own, this basic quality perceives your existence as contextualized by the people around you. Thus, this leads to a more optimistic role, especially when you’re seeking the common good. 

Things to pay attention to: 

• Perceiving self-boundaries
• Lack of assertiveness
• Becoming a people pleaser
• Relying on others for growth

Integrating yourself with others also has its own set of consequences. Because you identify yourself as part of a group, your growth and identity are also defined by this collective. And when it is filled with toxic waters, this can unwittingly cloud who your are. 

Add to that, an unchecked we-centeredness means that you’ll allow people to take advantage of you. Just as how abusers control altruistic individuals, your lack of assertiveness will lead to a plethora of problems for you. Ranging from lack of self-esteem to becoming overly submissive, you’ll become a puppet without you knowing it. 

Intuitive

You are: 

• Sensing
• Open
• Adaptable
• Trusting
• Spiritual

Relying on your powers of intuition, you are likely to see things from a transcendental point of view. Instead of simply relying on facts, you understand that life goes beyond the laws of reason and logic. Thus, this allows you to unmask the inner workings that go beyond the five senses. 

With this, you understand that not everything makes sense. Whereas other archetypes are often limited by reason, you are able to go beyond it and access your spiritual prowess. This, in turn, makes you more adaptable to varying circumstances, often offering insight that others lack. 

Things to pay attention to: 

• Subjectivism
• Confusion
• Disorderliness
• Gullibility

Because you rely on your intuition a tad too much, you are prone to becoming subjective. Whereas your gut feel can sometimes lead you to the right thing, it won’t always do. One day, the chickens will come home to roost as the consequences of your decisions will pay out negatively. 

Often, this manifests in confusion and gullibility. Since you’ve accustomed yourself to spirituality, you might end up being conned by others. Taking advantage of your beliefs and baseless thinking, others will end up tricking you into things that you would’ve otherwise avoided. 

Calm

You are: 

• Emotionally Intelligent
• Optimistic
• Good decision-maker
• Self-aware
• Patient

Calmness means the ability to properly regulate or moderate your emotions. Conscious and aware of your own inner thoughts and feelings, such calmness allows you to adequately evaluate things when need be. Instead of panicking or rushing over, this basic quality makes you take a step back, and assess things first. As such, it enables you to come out with a more reasonable course of action. 

Furthermore, calmness also extends to the inner self. Because you are collected and regulated, you are naturally patient and optimistic. While turbulent individuals appear to be optimistic due to their fiery presence, yours is more of an immovable mountain whose strides can withstand any situation. 

Things to pay attention to: 

• Monotonous
• Predictable
• Disconnectedness
• Rigidity
• Overly Relaxed

Calm individuals tend to be passive or be perceived as one. Since they always take time to evaluate things, this course of action can sometimes be detrimental to the situation at hand. After all, there are some instances where we must make a choice right here and right now. But because calmness asks you to re-evaluate first, you might not make it in time, and end up too late. 

Furthermore, your monotonous and rigid stance prevents you from seeing things out of what you know. Because exploring new things requires a turbulent approach, you’re truly the type who’s often perceived as a killjoy as you tend to bail yourself out in fun yet risky situations. 

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

Prudence

As a Member, you are prudent. You understand the reality that each person has their own individual identity. Being an introvert yourself, you know what it means to be strongly connected to one’s own self. And because of such, you remain to be prudent on how you approach others, knowing that your goals might not be necessarily aligned with them.  

Because of this prudence, you will gain the respect of those around you. Instead of engulfing their own personal space, you retain an appropriate distance to them. Just as how everyone wants to have their own circle, you know that respecting such is crucial in maintaining a meaningful relationship. 

Cooperative

Seeing the importance of the bigger whole, you understand the value of interconnectedness. Much like in eastern thought, you perceive things and its relational value to the greater whole. 

As such, you tend to become cooperative towards those you share a goal with. Because of your we-centeredness, you know how important it is to promote a culture of respect and mutuality. By taking the first step, you seek to inspire others and move them towards the path of love and reciprocity.

Adaptable

With your intuitive nature, you are adaptable. Just like the famous quote by Bruce Lee, you can become like water. Thus, you can fit any container for you are formless. Since you understand life and its many branches, you know for a fact that it is never okay to contain yourself in one. 

Using your intuitive approach, you touch on many aspects. Whether it is a range of soft skills or ways to communicate with others, you are a jack-of-all-trades. Regardless of the situation, you’re in, such crafty trait allows you to find that silver lining. 

Decisive

With the quality of calmness, being decisive is out of the question. When you want something, you will go for it…no questions asked. Like an arrow that’s fired straight to the target, your decisiveness allows you to achieve that laser-focused precision towards your goal in life. 

Given your strengths, you can assess things without the need for external validation. Although you tend to work with teams and pursue a common goal, your individual assessment remains pure and untainted, as long as you remain calm. Because your archetype tends to be swayed due to how strong your we-centeredness is, this calm decisiveness allows you to keep the scales balanced. 

Weaknesses

Lack of Assertiveness

Being an introvert, the Member has this tendency to lack assertiveness. Because they tend to allow things as they are instead of imposing their own will, Members can easily become pushovers as other individuals take the lead.

This comes to no surprise, given how the Member archetype seeks to assimilate themselves with others through the groups they’ve formed. And while this can be a good goal, sacrificing one’s inner voice and the right to express it will be detrimental to one’s growth. 

Rudeness

Submissiveness is an irremovable tendency of the Member. Since they are we-centered by default, they’re likely to simply give in to the demands of those around them. Given their goal of interdependence, Members tend to give in and allow others to dictate. 

In the long run, this submissiveness becomes an apparent weakness of the Member.  Just as things need morality and balance, the inability to express what’s right can cause unjust powershifts between you and your partner or peers. Allowing them to dictate the pace and the direction of the story, your tendency to take on a weaker role damages not only the relationship but also yourself.

Gullible

Since you act based on intuition, as a Member, you tend to become gullible. This surfaces when you are seeking to create an interdependent environment. As soon as someone sells you this dream, you will wholeheartedly buy it if you’re not cautious. In the end, it can lead to a spiral of traps that will prevent you from moving forward.  

To be fair, gullibility is a consequence of your intuitive attitude. Since you prefer feeling things out instead of rationally assessing them, it is easy for you to be swayed. However, such weakness is often displayed by the unrefined Member. While it is true that you are seeking a culture of trust and cooperation, a seasoned Member will be able to tell what’s real from what’s not. 

Rigid/Uptight

Your quality of calmness causes you to become uptight with things. As someone who’s nature is to become interdependent with others, you understand the value of following rules and regulations. You know that by abiding in these, it is likelier for you to succeed in your life goal. 

As such, your semi-traditional stance is derived from your bias towards what’s already established. Understanding that these methods and laws are tried and tested by time, following them is more likely the correct path. 

Romantic Relationships

Compromising

Due to your we-oriented nature, compromises are part of your romantic game. Whereas other archetypes tend to be dominant or suppressive, you are inclined to negotiations and dialogues. 

When you are in a relationship, this tendency will bring equitability. As such, you won’t put much emphasis on gender roles. Whereas some (or even most) would perceive that men should belong to the garage and women to the kitchen, your progressive mindset sees beyond these pre-disposed boundaries. 

Given this, you are likely to will look at things from a fairer standpoint, one that does not seek to discriminate but to compromise. When you are assigned with cooking, you’ll expect your partner to do the dishes or vice versa. 

Co-dependency

Looking at the core qualities of your archetype, we’ll see a Member whose happiness depends on how they align with their partners. Given how you prioritize unity over individuality, it is to be expected that you’ll seek a kind of relationship that’s centered on reciprocity and cooperation. Thus, you’ll likely become co-dependent with your partner. 

This trait often manifests in your likelihood to see interdependence as the focal point of any relationship. Because you seek to attain the highest form of unity with your partner, it is unavoidable for things to become interdependent as you share your life with them. 

Friendships

Collaborative

One key trait of your archetype is the fact that you seek to collaborate with the people you trust the most. By aligning yourself with your friends, you are able to create meaningful relationships with them. Whether it is about sharing a passion, a belief, or even a business with them, you know how to present yourself in ways that can be of use to them. 

In a way, this tendency is similar to the Caregiver. Take note though, since the Caregiver highlights altruism while your archetype focuses on interdependence. There is a big difference between the two, often missed out even by both archetypes.  

Can be Stubborn

One key trait of your archetype is the fact that you are calm and clear with your goals in life. As such, it can be quite a challenge to dissuade you or even present new perspectives to you. Since you are laser focused on what you want to happen, your calm nature prevents you from taking risks or exploring new things. 

For instance, your natural preferences in almost all aspects of life will surface. And when they do, friendships can be on the line. When people around you don’t agree with your decisions, you tend to cower up, and retreat in your own seclusion. Minding your own business alone, you remain calm but isolated due to your stubbornness. 

Workplace Habits

Can be seclusive

In the workplace, Members love to reach out. However, this tendency is often impeded by the Member’s introvertness. Hesitating from coming out of their shells, it really takes time for the Member to go out there and extend themselves to others. 

Make no mistake, this causes much of the Member’s problems. Bearing this archetype, you’ll relate to the struggles of expressing yourself outright since you’re likely to focus on your role in solitariness. 

Works well with teams

As a Member, your we-centeredness emerges in your unparalleled ability to work well with teams. Able to distinguish your own role while upholding group dynamics, you are the epitome of a great teammate. Naturally, such prowess allows you to draw people in, as they realize that you’re definitely someone they’d want. 

With this we-centeredness, you know how to motivate people not with words but with your own actions. Instead of charismatically pushing them forward, you are the type to quietly deliver your individual role. And as you do, your co-workers will see how important you are. 

Comfortable with Repetitive Work

Despite your intuitiveness, you are actually comfortable with repetitive work. Unlike other archetypes such as the Explorer and the Innocent, you find home in the familiar. Indeed, you are never fazed by the idea of doing the same thing over and over again, as if to say that you’re simply a cog in a machine. 

Instead, you cherish being a role player. Understanding interconnectedness, you know that each individual has a role to play, a task to fulfill. And instead of going against it, you make sure to perfect your own craft and become that stable pillar for everyone else. 

Resilient

As a Member archetype, you are resilient. In face of challenges (and deadlines), you don’t easily crack and picture out the worst scenario. Instead, your calm demeanor triggers you to step back and assess the situation, or at least feel it out. Guided by your unwavering dedication, no mountain appears big enough for you not to conquer. 

With your resilience, you’ll prove to be a strong asset to anyone you closely work with. While you may appear to be weak and passive (especially if you’re channeling your inner Orphan archetype), the Member in you doesn’t really falter that much.
