The Provocateur
Suspicious of comfort. With a streak of The Empath.
12% of Buds. Today's reading; it moves as they rate.
Work that unsettles: bleak, open, demanding. They trust discomfort more than reassurance and rate the thing that made they argue.
Where it goes wrong: Difficulty is not depth. Sometimes the cold thing is just cold, and you rated it up for the chill.
More about the Provocateur
- Avoids
- Comfort, closure, and being told how to feel. Warmth on its own reads as a sales pitch.
- How they rate
- Your five stars go to the difficult. Your one star goes to the smooth. The middle is where you are bored.
- Good company
- The Formalist respects you, the Ironist enjoys you, and the Comfort Seeker is your most productive opposite.
- Against the crowd
- You are the reliable spicy take: harsher than the crowd on beloved warmth, kinder to the punishing and the strange.
