What Makes a Visionary?
In terms of the Kolbe Assessment, an overwhelming number of visionaries have an 8-10 score for Quick Start. Most visionaries also have little to no follow-through or have ADD or ADHD, which is not a disorder but a sign of genius mislabeled by humans. In Gallup’s Clifton StrengthsFinders, most visionaries have a mix of ideation and are futuristic, and a mix of activator, maximizer, and/or achiever. Lastly for the Enneagram, most visionaries have at least an 8 (strong and self-reliant) or 3 (to succeed and achieve). A true visionary will take action, see what happens with the idea, and maybe it’s the right time or maybe it isn’t, but they will do it. The businessowner will wane on it for a long period of time but never take action. There are four types of qualities that visionaries have that Justin was able to pick up through patterns— ADD/ADHD, minor Asperger’s syndrome, dyslexia, and exceptionally high IQ.
