When does the Master of Perspectives show up?
This pattern shows clearly in situations where opinions are divided. Even while looking at the same thing as others, this person first asks how other people would see it. When conflict arises, they rethink it from the other person's point of view and in doing so find the limits of their own position. When they encounter a new idea, rather than rejecting it, they try first to take it into their own thinking.
Am I a Master of Perspectives? How do I check?
This pattern is different from being flexible in thought. Understanding several perspectives and bringing together into one what one has understood are not the same. If you put off decisions on the grounds that every position has a point, it is worth looking into whether you have this pattern. The free 76 questions show the closest type, and the full 288 questions show how strong this pattern is.
How is the Master of Perspectives different from the Reflective Sage?
Both check a conclusion once more. What they check differs. The Reflective Sage checks themselves, reexamining their own thinking and saying first that they do not know. The Master of Perspectives checks other people's perspectives, working out how others see the same thing. So the Sage speaks of their own limits, while the Master offers other perspectives.
Can the Master of Perspectives be fixed?
This pattern is not something to fix. The ability to bring several perspectives together helps a great deal in mediating conflict and in learning. Whether it becomes a strength or a weakness depends on whether one keeps one's own position. If one examines several perspectives while keeping one's own position clear, one integrates perspectives, but if one accepts everything and loses one's own position, one becomes a person with no position. Look at whether you are using this ability as a reason to put off decisions.
