Here are your results.

Your leading Primal power is Emotion, a power embodied by poets like William Shakespeare, skilled communicators like Abraham Lincoln, and humanitarians like Mother Theresa. All are highly perceptive about matters of the heart and have strong life purpose.

Your limiting Primal power is Commonsense.

Your scores are relative to you.

Scoring high on emotion means your ability to use emotion is currently stronger than your ability to use intuition, imagination, and commonsense, not that you have more (or less) emotion than anyone else.

Let’s look at these two Primal powers and how they inform your intelligence.

Emotion

Your leading Primal power is emotion.

Unlike logic-based EQ, the Primal power of emotion isn’t a tool for knowing how others feel: it’s your ability to know your own emotions.

Emotion is your power of personal direction.

Commonsense

Your limiting Primal power is commonsense.

Commonsense is your power of analyzing the situation.

Logic misunderstands commonsense as statistical, but it’s your ability to select the best plan to meet the situation.

Many successful individuals have a clear leading power and a clear limiting power, with the other two Primal powers somewhere in the middle.

Generally, you grow fastest when you target your limiting Primal Power. In your case, Commonsense.

When paired, Emotion + Commonsense power communication.

To strengthen your commonsense and boost your communication, read chapters 4 & 8 of Primal Intelligence.
