My Style Statement: Cultivated Warmth

Cultivated

(Foundation, 80%)

Cultivated takes tremendous pleasure in seeing things grow. They love to nurture their inner life, other people, animals, nature, and ultimately good ideas. Happy to foster and promote the growth of others, Cultivated works toward what is best for the individual as well as the group. They are interesting to other people precisely because they are actively and sincerely interested in the world around them. They respect, honor, and celebrate the customs of various communities and traditions and are consummate connectors of people. They are natural leaders. Positively passionate about growing, learning, and teaching. Cultivated is often well trained or educated (either formally or self-taught) and thus can be quite self-critical, overextending for accomplishments. They always have some pursuit or exploration under way. Cultivated considers all of life's experiences - positive and negative - nutrients for their inner garden from which they reap their harvest.
