7: Grouping the 16 Motivation Elements
A Better Way to Group
Elements
A better way to organize
these characteristics is to separate the Action Elements from the Decision
Elements. Of course, since the Eight Archetypal Character Types describe
a specific pairing of Action characteristic to Decision characteristic,
when we separate the sets, we cannot keep the Archetypal Character names
as their contents are split. Nevertheless, it is much more useful to arrange
the Elements by their similar natures rather than by the simple arrangement
contained in the Archetypal Characters.
With 16 characteristics, we can create four quads of four characteristics
each. This grows from having a Driver Character Quad and a Passenger Character
Quad, then splitting each in two (Action Quad and Decision Quad), giving
us four Quads: the Action Driver Quad, the Decision Driver Quad, the Action
Passenger Quad, and the Decision Passenger Quad.
