TYPE 08 / 16

The Lighthouse

Far away, but you always know where you are with them.

You're steady and capable, you don't need to talk every day, and you'd rather let a small thing go than make it a whole conversation. Friends don't hear from you constantly, but they know exactly who to call when something breaks.

Why you got LSPR

Lead over Ease
Who picks the place, who keeps the plan alive, who just goes along with it.
Subtle over Open
Whether care comes out as words, or as lifts to the airport and relentless teasing.
Patch over Clear
What you do when something's wrong — say it this week, or smooth it over and wait.
Roomy over Tight
How much contact you need before it feels like drifting, and how much before it feels like too much.

What works

  • Reliable in emergencies
  • Unbothered by distance
  • Even-tempered

What trips you up

  • Easy to drift from
  • Small things never get addressed
