Visionaries are outgoing, enthusiastic individuals who thrive in social environments where they can build and maintain connections.

With a natural ability to make friends and a wide network of contacts, Visionaries excel at creating opportunities and driving collaboration. They are socially skilled, empathetic, and rarely cause conflict intentionally.

However, Visionaries can sometimes misjudge their own abilities and those of others. They may leap to conclusions without gathering all the necessary information, leading to inconsistencies. While their optimism is usually infectious, they may struggle with time management, organization, and following through on tasks. They perform best with democratic guidance and benefit from reminders to stay focused and grounded.
