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 or least developed Primal power is Commonsense. We’ll talk more about that below.
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.
“This above all: to thine own self be true.”
— Hamlet by William Shakespeare
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.
When your leading power is emotion, you have the confidence to follow your own drummer —and the courage to stand up to the crowd.
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.
When your limiting power is commonsense, you might not be as successful as someone with your talents should be.
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 develop your limiting Primal Power. In your case, commonsense.
When paired, emotion + commonsense power communication.
To strengthen your commonsense and boost your communication skills, read chapters 4 & 8 of Primal Intelligence.
