When does the Pioneer show up?
When a person with this pattern sees an area no one has entered, they move forward. In both work and relationships, they are the first to recognize such areas. When deciding, they weigh plans for the future more than the possibility of loss, and they are told all their life that they are fearless. They always regard the present as an intermediate stage in preparing for the next challenge.
Am I a Pioneer? How do I check?
This pattern is different from liking challenges. Going forward by overcoming fear and having a weak fear response itself are not the same. If, when you stop taking on challenges, you feel it is all over and start a new challenge again, you are close to this pattern. After the free 76-question test, the full 288-question analysis measures 36 traits so you can see how strong this pattern is.
How is the Pioneer different from the Dreamer?
Both look ahead. Whether they actually carry things out differs. The Dreamer only imagines and then stops, putting off starting because they keep thinking of better possibilities. The Pioneer imagines and then carries it out, going ahead even when risks are visible. So the Dreamer's plans pile up, while the Pioneer's results pile up.
Can the Pioneer be fixed?
This pattern is not something to remove. A person with the intuition to see first what others cannot can accomplish things that open an era. The outcome depends on whether they have a habit of testing their own vision. If they do not test it, their challenges become hard to tell apart from a reckless gamble. The outcome depends on the habit of admitting the possibility that one's vision may be wrong.
