YOUR PRIMARY SPARKETYPE
THE NURTURER
Your Primary Sparketype reveals the essential nature or "driver" of the work you're here to do (whether it's the work you get paid to do, or not). When you do the work of your Primary Sparketype, you come alive with purpose and, fully-expressed in a healthy way, deepen into meaning, flow, connection and joy.
As a Nurturer, giving care is your call. You are deeply empathetic. You've been this way as long as you can remember. You see others in need and you feel called to help, in whatever way you can, take care of them, relieve suffering. Sometimes to the point where you give so much, there's nothing left for you.
For some Nurturers, the call is connected to a single being, living thing or discrete group, community or population. This might range from an aging relative to an animal at a shelter or an ancient forest. For others, the yearning to give care is felt more broadly, literally anyone or anything that is in need becomes an anchor for your desire to relieve suffering, give care, heal or offer comfort.
Many Nurturers find themselves in helping professions, but just like all of the Sparketypes, your ability to offer empathy, compassion, give care to those in need of help can and does cross any field, industry or title. This Sparketype also often finds a powerful outlet in your non-professional pursuits, expressed in your desire to help friends, strangers or even entire populations whose pain you simply cannot witness without doing something about it. When you have the opportunity to give care, and you see the difference it makes, even if you're never directly thanked, you become Sparked.
YOUR SHADOW SPARKETYPE
THE MAVEN
Remember, your Primary Sparketype (above) represents the essential nature of the work you're here to do. Your core driver of purpose, passion, expression and flow in work and life. Your Shadow Sparketype, on the other hand, is also a big part of you. Some may feel its call nearly as strongly. Your Shadow Sparketype most often reveals the work that you may well enjoy and have developed a high level of skill around, BUT it is also largely taken up in service of doing the work of your Primary Sparketype better.
Your Shadow Sparketype is The Maven, which means you latch onto a topic, field or industry and devour everything you can know about it. Staying "surface level" just isn't an option for you. It's no fun. You are driven to learn, to discover, to ferret out information, wisdom and knowledge. But, for you, when you're really being honest, that drive is almost always in service of doing the work of your Primary Sparketype at the higher possible level. It's more a means than an end.
