Profile 4/1: The Studious Leader

This is how they recharge and have time to investigate, research, and learn more about the things that interest them.

Personality Traits of a 4/1 Profile

• You love to research and investigate topics until you have an extensive knowledge and answer all of your questions.
• You feel secure about a topic, person, or situation when you deeply understand it from all angles.
• You crave close connections and love being with your circles. You are often at the center of your groups and organize things, but sometimes you tire from over-giving and want to retreat.
• 4/1 profiles can reach wide audiences through their relationship-building skills. When they feel secure in their connections, they can really influence others with their in-depth knowledge. But first, they must find confidence that they are experts at what they are sharing.

Habits

• You feel confident about your decisions and new connections after you know all the information.
• You place great value on friendships. These environments are where you best prosper and spend a lot of time.
• Because you thrive at creating connections in all areas of your life, it is likely for your business opportunities and romantic partners to come from people you know.

Insecurities

• You may feel insecure or unsure about something or someone until you investigate, research, and study it to a great degree. Gathering information can be calming, as long as learning more doesn’t become an excuse not to move forward.
• You may be prone to imposter syndrome, where you never feel that you know enough to call yourself an expert, let alone share your knowledge and succeed. You may feel shy to share because you don’t trust your expertise.
