Your Primary Tendency: Wood

You instinctively move toward progress, clarity, direction, momentum, the next step forward. Your system organizes quickly, sees pathways others miss, and brings determination and vision into every situation. It’s focused, efficient, and driven… and it becomes the lens through which you interpret what’s happening.

When pressure rises, your mind can narrow around one familiar impulse: “Solve it. Move it. Fix what’s slowing things down.” So you may push ahead before the moment is fully understood, assume you see the clearest path, or tighten when others move at a different pace. Your attention narrows to the goal, not the whole system.

When progress becomes the priority, connection thins. You may overlook subtleties, override sensitivities, or move faster than the relationship can hold. This doesn't occur because you’re impatient, but because you care deeply about forward movement and want things to work.

Working from higher-conscious functioning, Wood widens its frame before taking action. Your mastery is learning to: • listen for the emotional context, not just the objective facts • adapt your pace to the team without losing your direction • collaborate instead of carrying the momentum alone • respond to resistance with curiosity, not urgency. Wood becomes elevated when direction is infused with attunement, and when impact is grounded in connection.
