HOW YOU PLAY

• Growth over Comfort- You are driven by a desire to grow and actively seek opportunities to expand your comfort zone, skills, and confidence. You embrace new challenges with curiosity, accepting discomfort and failure as opportunities to learn.  
• Fairness over Popularity- You approach decisions with a scientist’s mindset, challenging your assumptions and remaining objective.  You consider long-term impact rather than relying on short-term gains, proactively seek others’ perspectives, and manage emotions in decision-making.
