You're an introvert. That's about all I can determine so far. Does that make sense to you?
It seems like the other dichotomies are unclear. And getting directly at the archetype is hard.
So we can try different models:
Interaction Style:
Interaction Styles
Which of the interaction styles fits you best?
(only the introverted ones are listed below)
Chart-the-Course™(Drive to get a desired result)
The theme is having a course of action to follow. People of this style focus on knowing what to do and keeping themselves, the group, or the project on track. They prefer to enter a situation having an idea of what is to happen. They identify a process to accomplish a goal and have a somewhat contained tension as they work to create and monitor a plan. The aim is not the plan itself, but to use it as a guide to move things along toward the goal. Their informed and deliberate decisions are based on analyzing, outlining, conceptualizing or foreseeing what needs to be done.
Behind-the-Scenes™(Drive to get an integrated result)
The theme is getting the best result possible. People of this style focus on understanding and working with the process to create a positive outcome. They see value in many contributions and consult outside inputs to make an informed decision. They aim to integrate various information sources and accommodate differing points of view. They approach others with a quiet, calm style that may not show their strong convictions. Producing, sustaining, defining, and clarifying are all ways they support a group's process. They typically have more patience than most with the time it takes to gain support through consensus for a project or to refine the result.
