5Q · your profile
Your community runs on the Shepherd
The nurturing, protecting function. You hold people through the slow parts and notice who is drifting. Your risk is peace-keeping in place of formation.
Teacher runs second here. Together those two are doing most of the work — and defining most of the ceiling.
All dimensions, in order
This is a sample profile. Take the assessment to replace it with your own.
What it means
Read this as a description of your structure, not your intentions
Every community says it values all five. The profile above describes which ones actually hold authority here — where the budget, the decisions and the platform go — which is usually a very different list.
What you honour
Shepherd leads here
This is the function your structure rewards. It is a real strength, and it is also the lens through which every proposal gets judged.
What you have exiled
Prophet has no seat
The covenant-keeping function. You feel the gap between profession and practice and you cannot leave it alone. Your risk is confusing criticism with calling.
The structural move
Authority, not voice
Making room means a budget line, a decision they own and permission to fail publicly. Voice without authority is what we give people we do not intend to change for.
Your next step
The Forgotten Ways
Given this profile, the next step is The Forgotten Ways. It takes what the assessment surfaced and does something structural with it — the point is not to know your function but to make room for the ones you are missing.
