The six archetypes
Everyone relates to money differently. These six patterns capture the most common ways people think, feel, and act around wealth.
The Builder
High agency, calculated risk, low need for validation.
You treat money the way you treat most serious things — as something to be understood, decided on, and then committed to fully. You're not reckless, but you're not timid either. You take real risk when the conviction is there, you make your own calls, and you don't need much exte…
