Your BAAK force is your default setting. Which one are you?

01/10

FOX

I clocked you. Keep talking.

FOX runs on Challenge. Sharp output with an edge on it. FOX is the one who says "wait, that total's wrong" while the rest of the table is still agreeing it's a great deal. Under pressure they get sharper and shorter, which is excellent in the meeting and lethal in the group chat. Hand them a rule that can't explain itself and they push the whole board off the table.

02/10

PEACH

It's my story. You're in it.

PEACH runs on Craft. Easy output. The blanket has one scratchy tag and it's out of the bed immediately. That's the whole type: the making is the point, and it comes out without being forced. PEACH does their best work where the pace is theirs to set, and they're usually the reason a place is worth being in. Under pressure they retreat into whatever is pleasant. The nap happens first. The building can wait.

03/10

SEVEN

You panic. I lock in.

SEVEN runs on Pressure. Raw pressure, pointed outward. Built for the moment the room panics. Everyone slows down, SEVEN speeds up. Put them in the emergency and they'll run it. Under pressure they escalate instead of pausing, and the blind spot says the quiet part: they can start needing a crisis to feel useful.

04/10

MOTHLIGHT

I knew before you said it.

MOTHLIGHT runs on Insight. Sideways insight. Everyone swarms the bright lamp. MOTHLIGHT stays back and watches the crack in the glass. They take things in by a route nobody else uses, so they land on answers other people can't retrace. Under pressure they withdraw and think instead of speaking, and the inside gets louder than the room.

05/10

JADE

In my lane. Stay in yours.

JADE runs on Backing. Straight support. JADE is the one who actually read the document. They get splashed in the face, blink slowly, let it slide off. People are steadier around them than they are alone, and they will absorb the entire group project without naming it once. Under pressure they absorb it instead of naming it. Blind spot: support can turn into waiting.

06/10

COMET

My timing is immaculate. Yours?

COMET runs on Opportunity. Sideways wealth. Reads what's moving and goes to meet it. COMET finds the opening while everyone is still writing the strategy doc, and their love life is generous, spontaneous and impossible to schedule. Under pressure they look for a way around rather than through. Blind spot, from the chart: timing isn't the same as staying.

07/10

NORTH

I set the standard. Keep up.

NORTH runs on Duty. Straight authority. Carries the rule rather than resenting it. NORTH holds the plan when the room loses it, and their watermelon slice is never one seed bigger than yours. Under pressure they get rigid before they get loud. Loyal and literal: they say what they mean and expect the same back.

08/10

PEARL

Richer than I look. Guess again.

PEARL runs on Income. Straight wealth. Builds slowly and doesn't lose what they build. PEARL is why the numbers still add up in year three, and they show care by handling things. Under pressure they tighten and start counting. Blind spot, and it's the funniest one on the board: not everything valuable can be kept.

09/10

TAU

I don't need the hype. You do.

TAU runs on Peer. Your own ground. Like a star, held up by what they generate themselves. TAU does their morning laps at the exact same pace in an empty field or a full stadium, and they don't need managing and don't manage well. Under pressure they take it on alone. Not needing anyone isn't the same as being fine.

10/10

FLARE

Too much? That's the point.

FLARE runs on Rival. Same fuel as TAU, erupting. Enormous capacity, doesn't idle well, and the thing to manage is scale. FLARE is the surge. Someone else can be the steady load. Under pressure they push until something gives, and full output has no volume control, which everyone near them has noticed.
