Trait deep dive
Technical
Your appetite for systems thinking and technical depth.
What this trait actually measures
Technical orientation is the urge to look under the hood. High scorers want to know how the machine works before using it. Low scorers are comfortable trusting the abstraction.
What the score band tells you
High
You want to know how the machine works before you trust it. Abstraction without understanding nags at you.
Mid
You'll go deep when the problem rewards it.
Low
You trust the abstraction and focus on outcomes, not internals.
Signs you're high on Technical
- You open the dev tools without thinking
- You learn the stack to use the tool
Signs you're low on Technical
- You optimise for outcomes, not internals
If you score high, lean into…
- Engineering
- Research
- Specialist consultancy
If you score low, lean into…
- Sales
- Marketing
- Generalist roles
Growth moves either way
- If high, force yourself to use a black-box tool occasionally — it builds humility
- If low, learn the basics of any system you depend on — pure-trust is fragile
