How You Approach Life
You, Millionaire, are primed for success and you won’t stop until you get there. You’re unusually ambitious, which is the distinctive edge you have on the competition. You can remain focused, even when distracted by the nonessential fringe issues that throw so many people off the road to glory. You are able to focus your strengths and energies where they are most needed — paving the way to the pot of gold. You work your way up, making connections and keeping within the safe boundaries of an office or business setting.

You aim to succeed in multiple realms of your life. But through it all, you also know how to impress people and have a good time. You’re very ambitious and personable, and you’ve got a great sense of humor. That will carry you farther than people who just want to climb the corporate and social ladders of life at any expense.

You care a lot about how you look. You’re bursting with self-confidence, and people admire you for your achievements and determination. For that reason, you like to look the part, and you take pride in dressing well and surrounding yourself with nice things. To some extent, your appearance reflects your position in life.

Professionally, you’re extremely motivated. But in your search for perfection, you can sometimes be too critical of your work, and that can be destructive. Instead, focus on the successes you’ve already netted. People know that you’re a solid, reliable person who can perform under pressure.

Any way you slice it, Millionaire, you’re already rich.

Your areas of greatest vulnerability
You’ve got so much going for you, it’s unfortunate that competition and jealousy arise as your greatest vulnerabilities. Because you tend to vigilantly keep score of your own rewards, status and image in relation to others, you’re constantly in danger of losing your security when you see someone who has something you would like. Be your best: By trying to develop a generous attitude toward other people’s achievements and possessions, you can still enjoy the chase and the acquisition of life’s pleasures — while avoiding being brought down by painful comparisons.

Section II — What makes you a Millionaire?

Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types — your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type.

In your case, Millionaire, your two sub-types are Success and Thinker. Your primary sub-type is defined by “Success” characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by “Thinker” characteristics.

Your primary type is Success
People with Success characteristics are generally driven by achievement and recognition of their talents — you are no different. You are motivated to work hard to have nice things. You also feel to some degree that your possessions reflect your hard work — something you’re very proud of. You are compelled to excellence by a number of factors and strive to climb whatever ladders come your way — whether corporate or social. To succeed and make a good impression on others, you may focus on your external appearance. You have a tendency to see it as an indicator of your internal value.

Intellectually, you are goal-driven. You might focus on the end results more than the process that gets you through an issue. In terms of entertainment, you gravitate toward media that is sensual, sexy, flashy and loud — often avoiding media that is too introspective or sentimental. You like to shop for anything from clothes to cars and enjoy reading magazines. Also, you most likely have a marked interest in your physical and mental health.

More than others, you have a highly developed sensitivity to other people. You are able to see the entire spectrum — not only of others’ talents and abilities, but of your place relative to them. You have a deep-seated desire to figure out where you fit in the world and on occasion, this can manifest as a fear of unworthiness. You may feel that by looking like you are capable and deserving, it will make up for any possible underlying insecurities.

Your secondary type is Thinker
People with Thinker characteristics are extremely sensitive to external stimuli. They are extraordinarily aware of their surroundings — responding strongly to small changes that others might not even notice. They are also hyper-aware emotionally — reacting to, and analyzing changes to their environment. To combat the potential to get over-stimulated, Thinkers tend to move a bit more slowly and seek out calm environments that won’t stress them out.

Intellectually, Thinkers like to dig deep into a problem to solve it — even when others grow impatient and move on to other subjects. As consumers of entertainment, Thinkers enjoy media that is sentimental, peaceful, and like heartwarming stories. They tend to be interested in books, inspirational media, self-improvement, and arts and crafts.

Section III — Your Four Personality Dimensions

Relaxed versus Apprehensive

Your scores place you in the extremely apprehensive region of the relaxed/apprehensive scale. This means that relative to others who have taken the test, you are more sensitive to surrounding stimuli. It also means you are more likely to have an emotional response to chaotic scenes.

Like other people who score high on the apprehensive side of this scale, you are likely to be drawn to situations that are less stimulating to their senses. Because you seem to be easily affected by change, you probably try to stay away from environments that can over-stimulate you.

You might have strong reactions to what others would consider minor changes. That is why you and other people who score high on the apprehensive side of the scale try to slow down the pace. When faced with chaotic situations, you are likely to look for more calming places to be. Despite your many talents, you generally tend to be more self-critical and shy than others, even if it seems to others that there is no reason for you to be.

You, more than others, need a place that is all yours — a quiet spot where you can clear your head. Sometimes it can seem that the world around you is loud and chaotic: information can bombard you from every direction, and friends can be overly dramatic. Instead of letting it get to you, make sure you have a place to which you can retreat.

Remember that you can’t change the nature of cities and the world, but there are ways you can cope with overwhelming situations. You can’t control the outside world, but you can control how you function in it.

Try setting up a room in your house filled with comfort items, or finding a calm corner of a public library, or bench in the park you can call your own. This is your key to facing the noisy, fast-paced and often overwhelming world. So do what you need to do for yourself and take charge.

Self-Doubt versus Confidence

Your scores place you in the mid-range of the self-doubt/confidence scale. This means that relative to others who have taken the test, you’re more confident than some and less confident than others. It also indicates that you have confidence when it matters the most — even if it isn’t present all the time.

If you’re feeling some unrest in your life it could be because you don’t have as many responsibilities as you’d like to. Other people may be telling you to unload your burdens, that you do too much. But, for you, the opposite might actually be true. You are willing and capable, so maybe it’s time to take on a few new projects.

Safety-Seeking versus Risk-Taking

Your scores place you well into the safety-seeking side of the safety-seeking/risk-taking scale. This means that relative to others who have taken the test, you prefer to play it safe and seek the security of knowing ahead of time what the outcome will be.

Like other people who score high on the safety-seeking side, you tend to prefer that your environment remains stable. To you, predictability has positive connotations and stability is a comfort and an indication of safety.

Some things in life are within your control and some aren’t. If you’re feeling intimidated, or uncertain throughout your days, take a look at your life and figure out which areas are unpredictable and what areas are not. You can’t eliminate the unpredictable. But there might be ways you can better structure your routine around the unpredictable.

For example, you can control which train you want to take, but you can’t control if the train is going to be on time. By recognizing the elements you can be in charge of, you can adapt your patterns accordingly. If you have a critical meeting, realize there is a possibility that your train could be late. Instead of racing out the door at the last second, prepare yourself to catch the early train — just in case your regular train is late. Learn an alternate route. Is there a different bus you could take, a faster train that leaves from a different stop? Since you feel most comfortable in predictable situations, try thinking ahead and structuring where you can.

External Appearance versus Internal Experience

Your scores place you in the moderate external appearance region of internal experience/external appearance scale. This means that relative to others who have taken the test, you take more pride in how things appear to others. It also indicates that occasionally, you are focused on the internal experience of a given situation.

If you’re feeling dissatisfied, take a look at your life and figure out if there are areas where you are compromising your values. Is your heart really in it when you go to the gym every day or are you doing it because your friends are? You probably have your own reasons, but don’t fall in with friends just to be part of your group — even if it seems the thing to do at the time.

While friends might be racing to buy the latest electronic gadget or flashy car, you might wonder why you don’t have a strong drive to acquire the same things. Don’t worry. You’re just happier focusing on other things in your life. That’s not to say you don’t like having nice things, it’s just that you acquire things you need more than things you want to show off. If you feel indifferent toward external appearances, it may not be worth it to you to put much energy into maintaining them. Listen to yourself, since it’s you — not other people — who knows what you like best.

Section IV — The Millionaire and the World Around You

How Others See You
You’re composed and sophisticated. Socially, you project a flawless exterior — organized, thoughtful, and somewhat restrained. People are impressed by your unruffled image and see you as stable and mature. Occasionally others may worry that they don’t measure up in your obviously discerning eyes.

Communication Style
You enjoy conversations that are lighthearted, pleasant and agreeable. Low-key connections with like-minded people are one of life’s pleasures for you. You sometimes are baffled by the fact that some people intentionally pick arguments. How can they be so sure of themselves when every issue has so many aspects? You would never want to come across as so aggressive. You especially don’t like domineering, blaming people.

Your Romantic Life
Your romantic ideal is a sweet and loving partner — someone to cocoon with. Your best match is also a hit with your family and friends. You long for stability, coziness and the comfort of sharing a life with someone who cares. You gravitate toward domesticity and commitment. At the same time, you want your partner to fit in well with the other people in your life. When friends, family, coworkers and others approve of your partner, it gives you a sense of security and community that you just love.

You At Your Best
When you’re in the presence of others who care about you, you relax and really shine. Supportive, safe interactions with people who believe in you are an important step in your unfolding path towards more confidence. You’ll thrive in atmospheres that are calm and quiet. When you feel soothed, you can tune into your real thoughts and reactions. By creating a peaceful environment for yourself, and by slowly building up your confidence, you will be able to enter the world more fully and share the amazing person you are.

Achieving Success
You are focused on success in your life; and you define it in a variety of ways. You love the boost you get from getting credit for your work, financial rewards, achieving your personal goals, finding luck in love, having great friends and, in sum, getting what you want. You can be held back, however, by a pesky self-doubt that occasionally questions your ability to really “make it” in the world. You’ve never been afraid to let the world know what you have to offer. Whether it’s standing up to take credit in a work scenario or letting a new person you meet get a sense of your charms right away, you know how to put your best assets front and center. A challenge for you in the area of ambition is to partner with others as you pursue your dreams. Don’t let that niggling self-doubt keep you from teaming up, combining resources and sharing the trip. You’ll find the rewards of being on a team or part of a duo can be felt during the process and pay off in the final reward.

What Really Motivates You
Your love for glory, fame, and the finer things in life keep you striving for your goals. You’re motivated by the promise of wealth and acquiring enticing, beautiful possessions. When you envision the people in your social circle and your company, admiring your accomplishments, it really keeps you going. As long as you have your eyes on the glamorous rewards you love, you’ll always have a reason to keep trying.

Conflict
When conflicts arise for you, it’s often because your sense of fairness has been offended. The frequent difference between what people deserve —whether credit, money, or happiness — and what they actually have, can be extremely galling for you. There are also times when you don’t feel justly rewarded for your efforts and assets. Occasionally, there are times when it’s hard for you to let go of even seemingly minor irritations. You may find yourself reacting strongly at first. But gradually you will learn to let it go.

Getting Unstuck in Your Life
Gradual change is the best way for you to move out of stuck or uncomfortable places in your life. Build your confidence by working on one or two relationships that already feel fairly secure. Look for ways that you are comfortable, areas of life where your footing feels sure. Start to reach out from there and take some chances. You are likely to find yourself frustrated and disappointed if you make sudden or dramatic changes, putting pressure on yourself to make sweeping transformations. Better to nurture yourself gently, using slow and steady movement. That way, once you get where you’re headed, you’ll feel at ease and authentically there.
