• Can be enterprising and creative, but will operate from inside their own work scope.
• Desire and demand for their individual rights to be protected.
• Begin to get a sense of what others are thinking and feeling, seeing as if "I am you."
• Strive for perfection (110%) so may be attracted to management in technical areas.
• Begin to understand how power and control can come from subtle ideas, knowledge, reasoning and ability.
• Operate in a time frame that includes the past, present and months into future.
• Some awareness of the next 1-3 years, but tend to be "now" oriented.

• Have a multitude of ideas and options for action, but can have difficulty prioritizing them.
