I absolutely loved the idea of the Sage and Saboteur (it just makes life more exciting when you think there’s a spy game being enacted in your head😂). I also appreciated all the power games and mental exercises you described, and will definitely try some. Thank you for sharing, Rima!

I'm a controller and a stickler 😂 fun combo!

I remember thinking about it at the time I took the course, but starting a business with someone who's Saboteurs compliment each other (but they're under control) would be a good idea

Interesting.. how do you think about which one's are complimentary?

I think every saboteur except the victim and perhaps a pleaser would be good to have in any business if you leverage the positive sides of them. You're an avoider, for example, so I, a controller (the upside is that I'm good at organising) would find you a task that YOU enjoy that no one else does. You'd focus on them an abnormal amount because it gives you pleasure and there's an extra bonus of not doing the things you don't enjoy (therefore avoid).

A stickler created an iPhone.

A restless tendency can be put in a position that requires multitasking and/or switching between tasks.

Hyper-vigilant would work in the law department or consult on the stages of prototype creation before we invest serious money and build a product.

etc 😂

huh yeah that is true, I don't do things I don't want and I hyper-obsess about things I do want.

I stand correct, that's a great idea. A pleaser could work in customer service! I think we have got ourselves a business 😂
