Overview
You're an explorer of thought. A counterintuitive hypothesis can make you lose track of time. You don't care if a conclusion is 'useful' — only whether it holds up. The world is a web waiting to be tested.
Four dimensions
The radar and bars show your stable leaning and how clearly it tilts on each dimension (typical strength, not measured).
Strengths & blind spots
Shige · Strengths
- Original thinkingSees connections and loopholes others miss
- Open-mindedWilling to drop any position when evidence says so

- Detail procrastinationPuts off uninteresting chores almost indefinitely
- Emotional blind spotTends to answer feelings with logic, which reads as cold
Relationships
You need intellectual resonance — someone who catches your odd ideas and dares to challenge them. You're easygoing but boundary-clear; don't try to manage you with emotion.
Career
Fits research, algorithms, philosophy, indie development — deep thinking. Rule-heavy, repetitive roles will suffocate you.
Growth
Give 'done' a weight: a shipped 70% plan usually beats a perfect 100% idea that never leaves your head.
